Introduction to sociology/Q&A/Jeong Hyeonsu


How does media(TV, Internet) teach out how to act and where we fit in the society?


The media transmits images that are not true; that are images the channel want to show.
For example, the tv program and lots of media teach the love of romance by emphasize the benefits of romance and describing who in romance as a winner, who not in romance as a loser. Moreover, in internet shopping mall or home shopping mall, there is a marketing targeting lovers or copies like “When you buy this item, you can make a girl(boy)friend!” Even though love is not necessarily happy and being unable to date is not a loser.
Like this example, it is quite different from the fact that the media teaches us. Therefore, it is necessary for the media to be critical of the concept of the media being injected.
