On the dark side, the information that are shared by the media’s can easily be twisted and misleading as there are many of those who misuse it for variety of purposes such as political propagandas, spreading of false rumours, scams, and etc. Hence, individuals who do not filter or check those information carefully, and simply taking it as it is without much awareness or critical thinking are vulnerable or will easily fall prey into those type of situations.

Therefore, it is very essential for us to be aware of the media’s that were are feeding our thoughts to, checking the information and thinking critically about it before forming any sorts of perspectives or views, understanding how powerful the medias can be and use it for good purposes whilst still being aware of the cons.

2011 proved to be a year when social media and services like Facebook became part of the fabric of everyday life around the world. People have embraced social media in both simple ways – from the chance reunions to staying in touch with family to sharing photos of new children – and the more profound – from New Zealanders and Japanese supporting the rebuilding after devastating earthquakes, to Iceland’s drafting of a new constitution online with citizens. Social technologies are transforming communities, companies and countries in several ways. First, we are seeing a huge shift in the way technology is powering us as human beings. Today on the Internet, people can know who you are if you want them to. You are yourself online for the first time. This has impacted the way we share and connect as people and communities. Second, media is also a medium of spreading the news and discussing recent hot topics. One of the recent hot topics is the suicidal bombing at Ariana Grande’s concert in UK. Many variations of news report spread throughout the media especially social media. Some of this news contains fallacies according to the interest of the writer, the news tend to lean towards certain provocation in term of political, religious or personal interest. The false cause fallacy is when one assumes two events are related. It is fallacious when the two events are actually not related. This occurs when one thinks that one thing causes something else to happen. The begging the question fallacy occurs when one argues in a circle, while assuming what they are trying to prove is true, but not providing any explanation for their claim. Critical thinking is crucial among the audience of media because it will help the audience to filter the accurate information from any biases that might occur. There are many types of biases that occur in the media such as political, economic and personal interest. The audience also can be bias towards what they’re receiving due to nationality, regional association, ethnicity, political, gender, income, religion, body shape and language. Therefore, we need to be critical and learn how to filter out the most accurate information without being disturbed or influenced by the bias noises that could be inserted to make the news spicier.

Media is can be used for various purposes. It is good when people use media wisely. But some people use media only for attention and seek publicity. If media is used for good purpose, then it will give benefits to community such as newspaper reported issues on increasing price of petrol or economics issues in our country. It informed the community and let them have the knowledge of current issues. But sometimes, media used without limits and cause negative impact to the society. Especially when it comes to entertainment and social media. Therefore, media should be used wisely in order to gain benefits from using it

Media in general can be anything. It keeps our world turning and we are always on it day in, day out. Media can is very useful depending on how you use it. I think media is a good way of conveying information and also gaining them. There are plenty of source we can learn from but people tend to misuse it. People focuses more on entertainment rather than educational things and this makes us lazier and just look for information through our phones instead of looking for information like the old days where we actually need to read a book and go to libraries.

How we can thinking critically about the media is by knowing what is exactly the meaning of mass media, how it is defined and what its represent at our surrounding. Taken from Latin word medius, the general meaning of media is ‘in the medium’. Media is the medium for all of us to communicate with the world. However, mass media often twisting the real idea of information they deliver out of human interest. We are in the area of high technology, we can see televisions, radios, computers, smartphones, are everywhere and we own them. Media can control our mind without control, so we must be careful with social media. They want to keep us holding and rely on them by using sensational element which is attractive for human. One of their strategy is by selling advertising either to inform or motivate us about their products to keep us hold onto them and keep the money coming. As a critical thinker we can do mind literacy as the ability to effectively and efficiently comprehend and utilize mass communication which is to analyze this phenomenon by looking at common advertising ploys. This is how we can counter the mind-numbing effects of mass media. Media is good for informing about the world, but as soon as we received wrong information, it is disaster. So, it is encouraged to practice being a critical thinker and logical person.

media is a medium that we use for communication. nowdays media is very important its because we use for entertainment, education and etc. people nowdays depend on media in order to transmit and receive or data. but sometime media give a negative effect to people. for example kid nowdays they do not join any outdoor activity because they stuck with their video game activity.

Media in recent years has been revolutionised by developments in technology and the expanding coverage of information that are able to be broadcasted. Media encompasses newspapers, radio, television, internet and even movies since media does not solely belong to news outlets but represents entertainment as well. Although the improvements in this industry has been nothing short of exemplary, i think media has its positive and negative points depending on the use. Some rely on media in hopes of reaching out to a helping hand in case of emergencies where messages can spread like wildfire and help comes by the snap of a finger or perhaps utilise media as a means of promoting companies or institutions through advertisements. From another perspective however, media can be used to spread propagandas and fake news to the public either to rebel against governments or change the public’s opinion on upcoming elections. Another point worth noting is the media’s role in misrepresenting information such as genders that influence how people think on the matter including how men and women are to be portrayed in a certain manner rather than depicting how the actual situations are really like which misleads the public until today. To conclude, the media is not to be blamed entirely on problems that arose but the responsibility relies on the individual itself that will determine the credibility of media in the future.

For example, electronic media such as Facebook, twitter, Instagram and Skype gets people connected, get the latest information and can communicate easily even though you live distantly with each other. Plus, nowadays, people can use media as their platform for business purposes. However, there is some negative effects of medias such as your personal information can be stolen for bad purposes and give bad influence to young people who watches some inappropriate videos on Facebook or YouTube. Therefore, it is necessary to filter all the information first and parents should monitor their children activities when they are surfing internet.

When it comes to the word "media", the first thing (probably) that came to everyone's mind is definitely Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Whatsapp, and etc. Nowadays, media is a platform for individuals to voice out their opinions regarding current issues, receiving any information, be it education or entertainment stuff, and as a tool to communicate with long lost friends or family members. Besides, the term media is broad, as it has various type of media, for instance, newspaper, television, magazines, and with today's technology, people can easily assess it over the Internet.

However, the media can influence our thinking style, even without us realising it. This happens when an individual read any article on the internet, and simply believe it without further checking the validity of the article's sources, and spread it via their social medias. When it comes to malicious comments on social medias, it can be seen that how negative people can be instead of being a rational person with good reasoning, and even when you want to criticise someone, you need to provide good reasoning without condemning that person.

Therefore, media gives us the advantage by making us connect with the whole world, but it also can makes us becoming a narrow-minded person. Thus, think before you post.

Media is a medium of communication or tool that can store infomation and deliver data to the world. Examples of media are newspaper, magazine,television, radio, internet and so forth.

In my opinion, there are pros and cons about the media itself. The pros are it bring a lot of advantages to the people. For instance , it can change the way people live and thinking. Perhaps this media can enhance the people's standard life.

Meanwhile for the cons, this media may lead to the misuse especially for the kids. Moreover not all of information in the media is true and people can rely and trust the media easily.

Media is a channel for mass communication and information delievery. With rapid and advancing technology, media has become our ultimate source of information, news, entertainment, and knowledge. I began to personally think of media as a floating boat on a vast ocean.
It goes where the current takes them. Put in a load and it'll carry them. Show the way and it'll take you there: Let it be a new land of hopes and dreams or an ancient desert of fallen kings.

The presence of media and technology has helped us to convey  and spread messages in a split second. Within a minute a blog can be posted,  an opinion can be tweeted, a picture can be captioned. In the next few seconds already dozens pair of eyes witnessed, read, and shared the information they recieved. This so called advancement got me thinking, as technology moves thoughtlessly faster, do people honestly think they should do so too?

It is undisputable that media has as much advantages as it has on disadvantages. But at the end of the day, media is a boat. It is only a medium. Where and how it goes - let it roam free or steer it wisely - depends on us.

Media is the use of tools such as internet, television, radio, newspapers, and magazines for the purpose of sharing and discussing information and experiences with everyone else. It is the channel of interactions among people in which they create, share, and shuffle different types of information and ideas.

True, that media brings a lot of advantage to us human in this modernize world since the beginning. But in this writing I want to push on the bad side of the media.

While in the past, people used media for the purposed mentioned in the first paragraph, nowadays, media is used as a tool to manipulate society into believing not the truth but lies. Media is used to cover up all the ugly truths and add some sprinkles to make it seems beautiful on the outside and acceptable. Anything that is not needed to bring out the outcome they expected will be cropped out.

The media is not a reflection of reality and we have to be aware of this. Be cautious with whatever that are shown or written in media. Media supposed to make it easier for information to travel from people to other people. However, the information while travelling are being edited by some irresponsible people. This resulting in receivers of the information to dig up about the news they receive by themselves and lastly make their own decision about which they choose to believe.

Many examples can be seen be it in politics or entertainment. I find this to be very troublesome when I could not even decide for myself whether to trust news that I read or watch.

Media is something that gives information to all people on what happen to the world such as on television, social media, radio,  magazines, newspapers and so on.

If media gives a more true information thats mean media gives advantages to all people but if media gives false information thats mean this is so cruel because all false information can gives people make a war and the world can wrecked.

Finally, There are two perspective where media can gives advantages and disadvantages, This thing is up to who gives the information. Confirm the information we gets are from human and that human must me honestly.

Media comes in many forms which is specialized for all age groups. There is no limitation in the extend of publicity where media contributes in the aspects of news, sports, education, business and many more. However, media can be destructive at times because of vulnerable issues that are portrayed publicly. Therefore, I believe media can benefit one and at the same time influence another.

Media is a communication channel in which news, entertainment, education, or promotional message can be disseminated to the entire globe within seconds.

In my opinion, media plays an important role in our daily life, regardless of our gender or age as it conveys information about celebrities, global political news, and so much more, depending on what the user wants to know or search for or stumble upon on the internet. there can be both positive and negative side effect of media to the users. As per usual or how most people sees it, the positive side of media is that we can get information from any parts of the world in a blink of an eye. I could not agree more. Most people also said that the negative side of media is when some irresponsible people or individual
spread some false news which can leads to social problems such as cyber bullying or other cyber crime that can be harmful to an individual, a multi million company or even a country. Yes this is true but media can also causes addiction to the user without the user knowing it. This can be seen from the usage of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so much more. Some younger generation suffers from lack of sleep due to the addiction from these social medias and especially now all the company such Digi and Celcom that compete to promote internet plan which includes unlimited data after midnight. By logic of course, when you have such internet plans, you would be willing to stay up all night to use those internet which you have already paid for.

Media is a best medium for an individual to gain knowledge, information or entertainment if it is used in a right way. For example, media helps to spread information to diverse people with different places so that they can learn about others culture. Media also helps people run a business diligently and improve their economy.

How ever, the emerging of media has its own disadvantages. Media somehow can be manipulated by unethical individuals. People are highly rely on the media, and less likely to doubt the information authenticity. Forge information or false news can be spread easily through media.
Media users should concern and think thoroughly when acquiring knowledge or information through media. Users need to identify the validity of the news/information before spread it out.

Media is a form of communication medium that delivers information between individual and the world. It plays a huge role in this modern era as it is very powerful where it can influenced the society with ease especially when it comes to giving public opinion. Nowadays, anybody can write. Everyone wants to voice out  their opinion. But does the content of what a person wrote is valid or reasonable? We can't judge opinion whether it is
right or wrong. However, not all opinions are the truth.

Take as an example, there are a various of articles published in the social medias. From one of the articles, when a person can relate to what the author have wrote, they would have believed that this is the truth. While the truth are supposedly to be facts, now the truth that are passed on is just based on how individuals have had experienced things in their lives.

Overall, from the way I see it
(here comes another opinion) media is doing more harm than good to the society in terms of spreading news especially when most of us tends to believe everything what is published in front of our eyes.

Media is a communication bridge that connects the people around the world. It delivers information so that people will be up to date with the current issues around the world. However, some party misuse media as a means to convey propaganda that can influence others hence causing many conflicted opinions regarding certain matters.
But, not everything that are conveyed in the media are true. We need to know how to differentiate between a reliable sources and non-reliable sources. Some sources had a means to convey and to provoke. Hence, it is important not to jump into a conclusion quickly upon receiving the news or information.
If used wisely, it can be a powerful tools to gain and convey knowledge

The rapid growth of social media and its acceleration rate at which information has been traveling shows how quickly the world is becoming more and more globalized by instant news communication. Sometimes, false information may not be shared with bad intention but rather a result from misunderstanding or just humor. Therefore critical thinking comes into work. We should learn to question anything we are told or anything we read online.

For example, media helps to connect diverse people with different places so that they can learn about others culture. Media also helps people run a business diligently and improve their economy.

Even though there are many benefits of media, media also can be a medium that disunites and destroys society. This is because people nowadays preferred to gain popularity rather than convey true information by delivering hot issues related to political issue and religion and ethnic issue.

The media has grown from being a n optional source of information to being a mandatory link for individuals to the outside world. Thanks to the invention of the Internet, everyone is now given the power to put forth opinions, and this has given rise to false claims being shared around as truth. Take a person that has a wild opinion based on half truths, put them on the media, and it will potentially attract thousands of other people who have similar ideas, thus creating a community of people thinking that they are right, but in reality are just falling victim to confirmation bias. Therefore it is really important for us to be
critical in determining what is truth, and what is not.

In the world of today, media has become almost as necessary as food and clothing. Many people said media is important in our society and in my opinion, it is true. Media does play an outstanding role in strengthening our society. Its duty is to inform, educate and also entertain the people. From what I observed from my surrounding and environment, media has a strong social and cultural impact upon society. That is why media has been used to convey message to build public opinion and awareness. However, media also has a dark side, such as, inducing baseless ideas through advertisement. It also develops unnecessary sensation and distortion of truth to attract attention. It is clear to use that media has the power of educating people whether it is good or bad. Since it affect the eyes, the ears and the mind simultaneously nothing can overcome the influence of media.
