Media has the most profound influence on people when compared to other modes of communication. But not to mention it has both good and bad influences. For eg., Media is the primary reason for the rise of eating disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia etc. The minds of young girls are bombarded by images of models and celebrities who are unhealthily skinny. While girls tend to get weight conscious and decide to lose weight, what happens with the boys is exactly the reverse. Six Pack abdomen and macho-man looks drive these kids around to hitting the gym much earlier than they should and encourage the usage of steroids etc which is bad for health.
