Modern Media

Throughout the decades, the definition of mass media has changed. Media construct reality for the audience observing it, whether it be through controversial or simple ways. Media texts are found in every room of most homes. Magazines, T.V. shows (Much Music being one of the most notorious), internet, billbords; every observation we make pushes the imminent inclination for us to rely on media more and more everyday. Currently, media is creating the most distress it ever has.

In the 21st century, most human beings rely heavily, sometimes beyond belief (if you have ever seen a tween girl check her Justin Bieber tweets), on this media. Excuses, corruption, and many many problems are a result of this reliance. "Because of the liberal media..." and "The media has distorted..." are common phrases of most Canadians, but American citizens as well. In my opinion, media exploits at least 99% of America's problems. Think of it like this: many media sources report that, in America, an economic crisis is imminent within a year. To no one's surprise, the 'prediction' (more like guesstimate) proves itself correct.
For sake of an analogy, think of the chicken and the egg quandry; which comes first? Is reality a product of media, or does media simply copy the reality we create? Could media be the oracle of the modern world? Only 2012 will tell. :)
