The role of Mass Media in our lifes.
There are many different ways to get information about our world. They are: travelling and going sightseeing, meeting interesting people, reading books. But one of the best ways of getting new information is mass media. They play an important role in our every day life. Mass media are the various ways by which information and news are given to large numbers of people, especially by television, Internet, newspapers and magazines.
Can you imagine your life without computers and the Internet? There is no doubt they are of a great importance nowadays. The Internet informs us of what is going on in this world and gives us wonderful posibilities for education and entertainment. Teenagers of our generation enjoy playing computer games in their free time. And it is really exciting. The Internet can be used in different ways. It also helps to do homework for my friends and me. We are given a lot of homework to do, that’s why it is very easy to get necessary information. Jobs which took weeks to do in the past are now carried out in minutes thanks to the greatest technological inventions – computers –and the Internet. As I see it, they are very good friends for lonely and disabled people. Using them they have a chance to make new friends, chat with them on the Internet, to receive lots of information. In my point of view, computers have changed people’s life for the better. Sometimes it seems to me that computers and science are going to control everything.
I am sure it is also impossible to imagine our life without newspapers and magazines. What I really like about them is that they are oriented towards people of all ages and contain the experience of many generations. There are lots of articles which cover sport news, fashion and beauty, famous people’s private life, articles about travelling and wildlife. It is very interesting to know that newspapers also express political opinion, report on the latest events, most newspapers contain detailed articles on home and international affairs, reviews of books, art and TV shows. You can also read useful advice, horoscopes, weather forecasts, jokes, do crossword puzzles for a change. It is really very interesting and good fun! As you probably know there are lots of different newspapers and we have a chance to choose the most interesting one. According to a survey I would say that the most popular newspaper in Russia is “Argumenti i facti” which is read by 22% of people. The second place is given to “Komsomolskaya Pravda”, 16% of people read it. “Moskovskii komsomolets” is also a very popular newspaper, read by 11% of people. “Sovershenno secretno”,”Trud”, “Sport express” are shown in the chart of the most popular Russian newspapers too. But teenagers of our generation like reading magazines with beautiful pictures and glossy pages. Maybe because their main interests are clothes, sport, music and fashion. I have got a lot of friends and it was very interesting to know about their favourite magazines. I found out that “Glamour”, “Oops!” and “Cosmopolitan” are the most favourite magazines among my friends. To be honest I should say that I prefer “Oops!” to other magazines. In my point of view every copy of it is interesting to read, contains lots of curious and useful information. As the proverb says: “There is no accounting for tastes”.
Radio and television provide the public with information. I have to confess, I like watching TV in my free time very much. I find it very interesting and exciting to watch programmes about travelling. I would like to say that it is special world full of adventures and joy. It is interesting to get something for nothing. I honestly believe that programmes like “Neputevye zametki”, “Vokrug Sveta” are really worth watching. Because you can learn more about life and traditions of people from different countries; have a chance to visit other countries without wasting money. It is fantastic! Speaking of radio I would like to say that you can listen to your favourite songs while doing something. “Love radio”, “Hit FM” are quite popular radio stations in Russia. Listeners can enjoy listening to different kinds of music: pop, rock, R’n’B music, get news over radio.
Like it or not the Internet and television are the most popular mass media nowadays. But just think of the consequences of them! People, who spend hours using computers, have a tendency to become anti-social, get lazy, they have no time to communicate with their relatives and friends, for sport activities. Looking at a screen for a long period of time also can be bad for their eyes. I am sure people should pay more attention to their health. Because “Health is above wealth”.
In conclusion I would add that everything has its dark and bright sides. We should not forget that even very necessary and important things sometimes can not be so useful. But let’s hope for the better.
