World Without Media
By:Hawkin Nedoff
A world without media would not be safer and improved. We would live with danger,questions, and the rest of the world would be a mystery to us. Media can include TV, Newspaper articles, the radio, or even a poster with some information. These things all give us information about what's new and happening in our society today.
My first reason is that if anything bad is about to happen we wouldn’t know unless someone calls calls us or comes and talks to us in person before it happened. Like if another terrorist attack happens like on 9-11, we wouldn't know about it until about a hour or so after it already happened. The dangers of us finding out late could be like if a terrorist attack was happening how would we know to get to safety if they were planning another one. We would have to rely on someone else to tell us what happened and we all know that people can be forgetful or might not remember it correctly so we either couldn't get the information. Or we would get false information leading us to believe something not true. Or if the world is “going to end” how would we know if a meteor is about to hit the earth and we need to take cover? Certainly not by the radio or TV because there would be no media to tell us about it.
As you probably know there was a shooting in Connecticut at Sandy Cook Elementary, twenty children and six adults were killed. Now when you heard about this how did you find out? TV? Newspaper? Radio? From a friend?Even if you heard it from a friend where do you think they heard it from? Most likely the news or something. Point is that in a world with media influence we wouldn’t have heard about this tragic event. We may have just found out about like a week later because media influence would not have been involved to spread the news. It could be dangerous because how would the other school around that area know to get to safety? There might have been another shooter that is going to a different school while his buddy was at sandy cook . The media could inform other schools to go in lock down until it has been taken care of. If you think about it almost everyone watches TV and they will flip to a channel with some crazy news that just happened. But in the world without media we wouldn’t have commercials to tell us the latest news or newspapers.
Another example maybe not as important as the others but when you wanna go see a movie you wouldn't know what movie is in theatres. Normally you would see the commercials for the movies and when they will be coming out or you could drive past the theatre and see the posters for movies. But in a world without media those things wouldn’t exist. Say you were going to see the Hobbit and when you got in the theatre there were no commercials in the beginning of the show. You won’t know what movies will be coming out so not any of that other stuff they tell you.
Also not mentioned in my essay is that without media the advertisement would be horrible. It would be nearly impossible for someone to start a new business because they wouldn't be able to put up a sign to tell what the business is. So people wont come to the store turning the whole thing into a loss of money.So hopefully now you see a world without media influence would not be a safer and improved world to live in. Like it says in my previous paragraphs we will not know when danger comes, or we won't know the major events happening or we might miss a good movie that comes out. No Advertisement would not be a boon to mankind we would have a bunch of people being confused and not knowing what’s going on.
