Jiya: " The media is the mirror of society, but it is also

the lens through which we see the world. What we see

in the media can shape our understanding of what is
normal and acceptable. Let's uncover how the media
we consume influences the world we live in

Liya :- Thank you Jiya , Even a poll revealed that families

who watch a lot of reality TV may quarrel more often
during religious sessions
Prachi- Valuable information indeed. Media often sets
expectations for family behaviour by depicting idealized
religious scenes. This can influence families' perceptions
of what's appropriate and sometimes lead to a
performance-oriented approach rather than a genuine
spiritual connection. It's essential for families to focus on
personal devotion rather than external appearances.
Neham:- you are dead right there, Media's portrayal of
family life often shapes our expectations. The
omnipresence of technology can either bond families or
disconnect them, reshaping communication norms and
even redefining quality time.
Kashvi- Now acknowledging all of you I would like to
quote some facts and figures for better understanding A
study by the Pew Research Center found that 81% of
parents say that their children's use of media has a
negative impact on their family relationships.
Jiya:- Totally agreed, Excessive media exposure can
impact children's cognitive development, sleep patterns,
and even contribute to behavioural issues. It's important
for parents to monitor content, encourage digital
literacy, and prioritize outdoor activities to maintain a
well-rounded upbringing.
Prachi :- Now that's spot on and to add, Media plays a
significant role in shaping attitudes, expectations, and
even communication styles. From social media trends to
pop culture references, media can influence how
individuals perceive themselves and interact with others
in both high school and the workplace.
Kashvi - An excellent point and According to a report of
University of Notre Dame Students who watch a lot of
violent TV shows may be more likely to bully their
classmates or to get into fights. Students who are
exposed to adult content in the media leads to early
teens …………………………….
Liya-These facts can’t be more relatable Schools need to
incorporate media literacy education to help students
decipher media messages and cultivate a healthy self-
image. Employers can provide workshops on digital
professionalism and encourage a balanced approach to
media use in the workplace.
Neham- Insightful advice . See how Media plays a
pivotal role in setting the agenda for elections. It frames
discussions, highlights controversies, and even projects
candidates' images. Social media, in particular, has
enabled voters to engage directly with political content
and share their views, creating a dynamic feedback loop.

Jiya:- To spot the point , I would like to quote A study by

the Lokniti-CSDS found that exposure to news media
can increase voter turnout in India. Similarly a study by
the University of Pennsylvania found that people who
were exposed to pro political party content on Facebook
were more likely to vote for that party in the 2019
general election.
Neham - Thank you all for sharing your valuable
insights and perspectives on the profound impact of
media on our perceptions, values, and actions. As we
navigate this ever-evolving landscape, may we all strive
for a mindful and balanced approach to media
consumption, fostering connections, empathy, and
informed decision-making. Remember, the power to
shape media lies in our hands; let's use it wisely. Good
day , everyone.
