Social Issues Caused by the Media

Many of the problems that we have with ourselves are caused by todays media. The term of beauty no longer applies to what it did many years ago. When we think of beauty, we think of being extremely skinny, a lot of makeup, and superficial ideas. No longer does the media portray the inner beauty of mankind, the mind and heart in each of us. Many children today are being brought up on the fact that sex sells, being super thin is what is hot, and trampy clothes are where its at. A really basic way to tell how society is effecting the way society is, is to look at the celebrities who are under constant scruntity. Every single day, we hear something new about them, wether it is drug abuse, suicide, or being checked into rehab for some reason. The pressure of always being in the light of the media, under every little flaw, becomes too much to bear for anyone. They then try and "correct" themselves, only to be the center of the media again, for however they delt with their problems.
