Question

Is the media today responsible for the degradation of our youth?

Answer 1

Possibly, but it could also partly be the reflection and result of the degradation of your youth.    They feed off each other to create a vicious cycle.

Answer 2

yes, they are responsible for the good and the bad things. media is like a coin which has two faces. they can swing it any time to make a twist in the things they present.

they do it diplomatically to degrade not only our youth but everyone in the society.

Answer 3

Of course it is. Many in the media industry promote the sensational, the s**y and the violent to catch the young viewers so they will get advertising revenue. So they ride rough shod over the sensitivities of cultures and religions with impunity.

Answer 5

Yes! because of media only, (internet, easy download of p**n movies, p**n cds, non-veg   jokes, too much expose in the movies, MMS.......etc. ) ever on the news channels the show only about s*x, RAPE, MURDER. CELEBRATORY AFFAIRS, nobody can stop this, until we try.

Answer 6

yes media is surely responsible for .......!

Answer 7

Yes, it is too a large extent

The media is a double edged sword. But one edge is more Sharper than the other.

Entertainment based media showcases celebrities & life styles which the youth try to copy without realizing it's harmful effects.

For them whatever the celebs do is cool whether they get drunk & party around naked or they make s*x tapes.

Crime becomes a shortcut for them to rich lifestyle when they see action stuff.

Violence becomes a mean to be popular.

At the same time media is educating, informative etc. etc. but  the youth have a tendency to go for what is flashy, trendy etc. etc.
