Over the years Technology has grown out more than ever starting from telegraph to now using the internet. Society’s way to connect now a day is by internet or television to find out the newest things and connect with the world itself. Media has been taken to a new level and teenagers most of all have been affected by this. Media take billions and billions of dollars to show advertisement that could most likely be fake, and as gullible as we are we believe every bit of information they advertise to us and we end up buying their product. There can be good and bad advertisement, the good can be the books they are selling or the big event that encourages teens to go play or do with their friend, but most advertisement is bad like the fast food places that take out new products and try to sell it to us, or the reality shows that are shown that influence us in a bad way, the way celebrities carry them self and us wanting to do the same cause we think “it cool”. All this comes to just one question Does media influence the actions of teenagers? And my answer is yes! We have seen of how everything back in the 1950’s were a picture perfect seen in television and how now it’s just goes downhill. We have seen for the past two years the show “Jersey Shore” has made a huge impact on teenagers. Of going out clubbing, doing the “fist pump” or doing the poof like snookie has come to an incredible sense of stupidity. Teenagers see this kind of behavior on television and makes them want to do the same to be able to fit in and know the terms like GTL ( gym, tan, laundry), cause if you don’t know them you are consider a “dork”. If the jersey shore cast has an impact on kids to go out and do things they do, they should use the publication to do better things in life, like helping out the community and maybe more results of teenagers doing this will help. I believe that television and media has increased so much but in a bad way and I feel that this should change.
