Media is not only the source of entertainment but also a conveyer of information. Media has always been a part of modern society, shaping the way that people view new events and ideas. Young adults are increasingly turning to media for their information, especially social media platforms.
The question is whether or not media is spoiling the young generation by providing them with too much information at once. A recent study conducted on this found that when given too much information, young adults get overwhelmed and do not know where to start looking for the content they want. This leads to them taking longer time finding what they need and more opportunities to consume bad content because they lack self-control
Many groups argue that media should be regulated or monitored so that it does not become overwhelming for young adults, while others argue that it creates opportunities for people to express themselves in their own voice.
In a recent survey by the Harvard Kennedy School, it was found that the younger generation is becoming increasingly cynical and pessimistic. It has been suggested that this is because of the media’s portrayal of life in which people are always struggling and in need of something to make them happy.
This study has created some controversy in the media world about whether or not the young generation is being negatively influenced by how the media portrays them, or if they’re just already more skeptical about society and happen to have a pessimistic streak.
