How is Media changing your way of life?

In this blog post, you will learn the different ways media affects you and your way of life. So, how can media change your life?

Many people now adays are using the media and platforms to receive their information. Whether you use the news outlets or content apps such as Instagram or TikTok, you are using media to receive stories, news reports, and updates on people’s lives. We use this daily to keep ourselves informed about things going on across the world.

We also use media to receive inspiration. We can communicate our feelings through art, music, and photos and writing! Things we see, read, or listen to can inspire our thoughts and actions; it can impact the choices we make.

The media has changed and improved my life and way of thinking. I saw many videos on TikTok showing clips of radio messages from Formula 1 races. It kept coming up on my feed and throughout my social media, leading me to be more interested in the videos and the racing. That was the start of a complete career change for me and inspired me to start up new hobbies and a small business.

When it comes to media literacy, we have to understand and use critical thinking as well. It can be misleading at times or have biased messages. It is important to teach others how to use strategic thinking to separate the truth from the bias.

To conclude, the media has such big impacts on our lives and can change the way we think and act. It can be used for good or bad, and can be misleading at times. But it can also help us receive information and communicate with others and gain inspiration.
