The current media issue has been censorship and the influence of some television shows to younger audiences. What has been allowed on TV now compared to what was allowed back in the day has seen a dramatic change. In older TV shows women were not allowed to wear jeans on the air, now women are seen in bikinis, short jeans, little skirts, etc. This has inspired younger women to wear such clothing exposing their bodies thinking it is sexy. Not only has the appearances of people on the air has seen a dramatic change, but the vulgar language heard on the radio, TV, and even on the internet has seen a major changes as well. Parents today strongly argue that certain media on the air has become a bad influence on younger viewers. Kids as young as 10 years old can be seen watching shows such as: Family Guy, South Park, and Jersey shore which are meant for older audiences They see what is going on TV and use what they see it as a new trend and think it is “hip” to act like that. Shows like Jersey Shore and The Real World has swept our current generation like an epidemic. A lot of kids try to imitate the lives of the people they see on TV as a horrible attempt to make themselves “cool”. This would be known as the Social Cognitive Theory of 1975 which is the current media issue of this time.
I agree. There's a lot of imitating stuff that doesn't deserve imitating going on these days.
