The role of "mass media"


It makes me sad to say that mass media is one of the main causes of fanaticism. Many media stations give wrong or half-true ideas about others. Mass media is supposed to fight fanaticism not to increase it.

Mass media has it’s a great effect on people who are fanatic. Mass media should persuade them that fanaticism mustn't exist between nations. Mass media should spread true ideas about religions and correct the wrong ideas. This can be made through religious programmes on TV.

It is also important to set programmes fighting sport fanaticism and show people and supporters how the spirit of the sport between players is. Sport fanaticism must disappear and people must know that the loss is not the end of the world, for sport fanaticism is a step towards serious fanaticism.

To eradicate violence between fanatic spectators and supporters, they must know that sports are activities, not wars. They create good relationships between countries like we see in the Olympic Games and the World Cup. Mass media should speak with all layers of the society, especially illiterate and uneducated people because they have many wrong thoughts that must be corrected. These thoughts make them fanatic. Those people must be aware of the power of unity and tolerance between nations. Finally mass media should present programmes to children including the idea of connection between nations and cultures and tolerance between religions.
