When we turn on a television set, we get a range of channels to keep us informed and entertained for all the 7 days of a week. When we browse the internet, an ocean of information floods at a click of a mouse. I guess we are just way to lucky to live in this era of advanced technology. These media plays a very crucial role in our day to day life in shaping our beliefs, perceptions, ideas, values and our behaviour in the society. It is a powerful medium of education and entertainment in numerous ways. But did we ever stop for a while and think what impact exactly is the media leaving on you, me, our family, on the coming generation and the society?

Our society is rampant with corruption, crime, etc. and many a times media plays the role of adding fuel to aggressive behaviour, violence, sex, obscenity etc. however more over in the younger generation.

The following two posts will deal with such issues. It is to be noted that the following posts are analysis of five research papers each post. The first post will be a brief analysis on the effects of violence in media and the second on the sexual content in media. Each post has a bibliography of the research papers followed for this project.

Language and Statement follow their own rule?


Language is a way through which a man communicates with other human being. This communication of language can be through use of words, pictures, video clips, sign language, etc. Communication through language through talk or verbal use of words is the easiest and the clearest way of communication.  On the other hand statement is nothing but a sentence that is formed with the help of language. A proper structured statement helps one in conveying the message. Without a language a statement cannot be formed and without statement there is no point of simply having a language. Here is where statement and language go hand in hand and follow their own rule.



But the relationship between our statement and the world outside is not rule governed. When we make a particular statement as such in public sometimes due to some sort of misunderstanding the words and language is twisted and turned and different meaning is added to our original statement. Sometimes this job of twisting and turning the statement is done by the media.


Like when Raj Thackeray gives speeches on Marathi man or the son of the soil should get benefit over outsiders, some part of the media hypes his statements by changing its tone. Whereas the remaining part of the media gives the right and clear picture of the statement.
