There’s no way to prepare for future if we don’t know its coming. Thus the modern society can continue to exist only as long as it remains capable to adapt to the historical changes that it has set in motion.
Today, the mass media plays a vital role in our society and in our personal lives in particular. The production of culture in the media is truly interwoven with all levels of our social, legal, political and economical systems to the behaviour of media organization, to the individual acts of audience members and culture creators. So media is a means of communicating information, the means towards the end of expressing our culture dance, music, ideas, sculptors, values and advertisements that influence the society.
With the advance technology, communication turn more development unlike in the previous decades, it has expanded the horizon of information, the dimension of topics and sources of information. Media frame issues, facts and slanting the information of the world around us. Thus a person comes to know what happen at the other end of the world and turn the world a global village.
In the modern technology world every individuals seek for wisdom, intelligence, freedom, master and designer for the development to set through various angles. Inspite of all these, we need to understand and respect the human value, for life is very risky today as refering to the past days. When daily news brings the messages of tragedy such as kidnapping, murder and rape, should we called all these development?
Every individual has their own freedom to exercise and execute as one wish and wants to, but we must remember that our freedom should not curtail the freedom of others. Thus, the media has an immense role to play and shape the present society for a better society.
