MTV.

          What is MTV?

    A cable and satellite television channel that broadcasts popular music and promotional music videos    
    MTV : Music Tele Vision

    Influence of MTV on the youths today.
               In the 80s , MTV only broadcast music video and the reviews about songs. But now Mtv has reality shows that make youths conscious about the way the look , body image , violents , sex.Many of the programs that children watch send the message that a conflict always involves a winner and a loser.A study of 4,294 network television commercials found that nearly one in 4 commercials includes some type of sexual attractiveness as a base for the message.

    Effects of MTV on you - Like Or Dislike?
    To be honest , I'm neutral on it. Because in the end it's some individuals sees it. Although last time I used to tune on MTV because of the music video. But now , I don't usually go to MTV maybe because I find it really childish? It has no meaning of watching it. And also Youtube can find music that you really want to hear. But recently MTV has even more variety show , teen mom , 16 and pregnant and Jersey Shores. All this reality series promotes very violence and sex , it's entertaining though but it can affect a young child by watching it. And want to be like them. Many males are becoming insecure about their physical appearance as advertising and other media images raise the standard and idealize well-built men. But I find them pretty alright but I wouldn't want my children to watch all this channel. But I wouldn't stop them either.  

    How Does MTV change your life?
    There's good and bad. Maybe wanting to look pretty , because all the girls are so skinny and perfect! But also , learning about being conscious of not having sex has it leads to pregnant or maybe HIV. Maybe jealousy , there's this show call Sweet16. Which is kids who are born rich and wanting to have a glamorous party. But it's how you watch , if you're someone who is low self-esteem I guess you should not watch it you know.
    Media is scary , some says , Media is control by devil. I find it true.
