The human race is a social being for its own nature.
From the beginning of the times, a individual cannot survive in an isolate environment.
On the contrary, people tend to make a group to defend their own interests.
From this point of view, the media has been influencing people from ancient times.
Religion is an example of this influence.
In this time, there are a lot of information through a wide variety of channels, like TV, internet, news and others.
This fact provide advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, people can access to more information and in a faster way.
But in the other hand, it is very difficult for the people, due to the own nature of the media itself, that people can access to the information in a “ free- knowing” way.
We think that because nowadays we have a lot of resources, we are more free than previous generations.
But I think that the influence in a subliminal way oh the slogans that media want us to think about, make the contrary effect.
To sum up, I consider we have a lot of opportunities to have a much an variety information.
But the power of the media is higher.
