In this day and age, the media has a huge influence on each person’s life. This essay will discuss the affect of media on the human mind and I believe that it has a significant negative impact on human psychology.
One of the concerns is that media can manipulate users’ psychology. The continuous cycle of activity on radio, television, or social platforms makes users immersed in news, opinions, or rumors. For example, in the social field, an individual can use social media to defame the image or fabricate false information, causing many people to be interested and immersed in that false information.
In addition, the media also has a negative impact on human psychology. Because each individual is always exposed to news on media platforms with many topics such as theft, school violence, or murder. This makes netizens feel afraid and shy when interacting with society. Moreover, they will tend to isolate themselves to avoid the dangers they know through social platforms. The clearest evidence is the psychology of children. Parents tend to let their children use social platforms for entertainment without control. This makes children attracted to violent movies or videos or negative information and makes them prone to violence and behavioral disorders.
In conclusion, the biggest impact of media is a direct influence on the human mindset, and I think this is a negative development because it is a great threat to human mental health/ well-being
