In the contemporary world, while some proportion of people believe that it is legal for mass media to publish details of individual’s opinions, others argue that this process must be under control. This essay will discuss supporter’s views on this as well as defender’s opinion.
On the one hand, it is quite common in society to hear that the media has the right to release people’s views on a particular topic. People believe that mass media is a global corporation, which takes a lot of information from different parts of the world and there is nothing wrong with publishing other people’s views, especially in the current world where everything is transparent and leaks to the Internet. For example, even citizens of a small village in France got into the article of New York Times, where their opinion about the enhancements in an agriculture sector was discussed between local authorities.
On the other hand, there are people who claim that a publishment of people’s thoughts should be under monitoring. This community believes in a privacy that every member of society has, and their desire whether they want their views to be published or they want to stay anonymouse. For example, many politicians and huge online influencers around the world have a craving to impress their vision on a particular subject or issue in society, but their view might be perceived negatively among their followers. In order not to lose people’s trust and appreciation and eventually become public enemy they prefer staying unknown.
In conclusion, although the mass media has a freedom to publish whatever they want, they must consider that some members of society want to stay private and not to be an object for numerous disputes.
