Question

Does the media have a direct influence on the actions of young people? How?

Answer 1

Well I'm not gonna tell you "How", but the media DEFINITELY has a direct influence on the actions of young people.

I'm sure you can come up with "How" by just thinking about it for a little bit.

Answer 2

Young people tend to question those who are supposed to know less than older people.  Teachers tell them a theory like man-made global warming is real and they believe it without question.  The same applies to the media.  If they see it written in the newspaper or on the TV news, they tend to believe it.

Answer 3

yes because the media is everywher a person looks... it tells certain fashion trends kids follow and it shows how it wants kids to be and it gets them to follow it with out them realizing it

Answer 4

This sounds like an essay question for a communications or journalism class.  I think you should do your own research.

Answer 5

Yes,and on all ages.Mind-control through constant bombardment of an idea.Not only in news either...
