Media Autobiography

Media has had its impact on multiple generations. I have never really been a fan of books growing up. I hated when my teacher would assign us to read. The only book I could say I really enjoyed reading was The Kite Runner. I loved the story and moral behind it. Although at times I would read the newspaper. Now, I turn to the news on the television to get an update. Now, magazines I am a big fan of. I love reading and looking through the pages. I have a great interest in cosmetology, celebrities and fashion. I have a few dislikes on magazines. They portray this "image" that everyone should look like. It adds peer pressure on people on what they should look and dress like. They turn to plastic surgery to make themselves feel better about themselves and that is not the way to go. I believe that everyone should feel great about themselves and not to follow this image the media sends. Just because you are skinny with a nice body does not mean you’re perfect. You will always be your tough critique. Another mass media that is in my everyday life is recordings. I turn to my iPod when I am bored, sad, angry, or when I feel like listening to music. I hardly ever listen to the radio anymore because they play the same songs and it’s just the same music. Then again, it’s a great way to promote new artists and a way to start their music career. The television is a great way to bring families a lot closer. My family and I love watching sports and we have many bbq's which brings us closer. My sisters and I watch Keeping up with the Kardashians together and I do feel it is another way to bond. I do believe that the television and internet cause a lot of distractions. MySpace http://www.myspace.com/, Facebook http://www.facebook.com/, Twitter  http://twitter.com/ and et cetera. I would say those are my dislikes as well as virus's and scams. The internet is very important in my life. Its makes life a lot easier and I rely on it a lot. Mass media is around us 24/7.
