Jiya: Certainly.

Our perceptions and values, including

those pertaining to religion, are significantly shaped by
the media. By promoting themes of compassion and
unity, media can improve religious traditions, but it can
also stoke conflict by sensationalizing the problems
Liya :- Thank you for that insight, Even a poll revealed
that families who watch a lot of reality TV may quarrel
more often during religious sessions. This is due to the
fact that conflict and drama are frequently depicted in
reality TV, which can be detrimental to families..
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.
Kashvi:- 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.
Neham- 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. Another
study by the University of California, Los Angeles found
that children who spend more time watching TV are
more likely to have behavioural problems
Prachi :- 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.
Kashvi :- 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.
Jiya- 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 sexual content in the media may be more
likely to have early sexual experiences or to engage in
risky sexual behaviours. People who watch a lot of reality
TV shows may be more likely to gossip about their
coworkers or to engage in other counterproductive
behaviours.
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.
Prachi - 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. The study found that
people who were exposed to news media were more
likely to vote than people who were not exposed to news
media.
Neham- To continue the series of insightful
facts .Research has also shown that social media can
be used to influence voting behaviour in India. For
example, 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.
Kashvi - Interesting facts tell us that Media leverages
cognitive biases such as confirmation bias and the
availability heuristic. People tend to consume
information that aligns with their existing beliefs, and
the repeated exposure to certain messages can sway
their decisions. Emotional appeals and relatability also
play a significant role in forming voter attitudes.
Jiya:- see what an enlightening conversation we had!!!
Neham:- Though this was not an end it was just a part
many is still left to be discovered........
