It is generally agreed that we receive a lot of information through the media. Television, newspapers and the Internet are available for the source of information. They are essential for our daily life as both an education and entertainment. We can access various kinds of information easily and quickly now and the media images have much effect on our life style because they provide visual, audio and printed information for us. People are influenced by the strong power to change our idea and behavior not only positively but negatively. Recent research has suggested that the media has possibilities to damage our mind as well as health. According to BBC NEWS (2006), "violent computer games may make people more likely to act aggressively". In addition, Groesz et al. (2002) says that "viewing slender models would increase a female's immediate sense of body dissatisfaction" and it could lead to eating disorders. In this essay, I would like to give a brief overview of the media image effects on our society, and then I will discuss how we should deal with the information through the media.
