Media can simultaneously help young people shape their worldview and contribute to the destruction of their psyche. In any case, the information received by youth through the media leaves a mark on the individual.
The social environment has a significant impact on the person. But in particular, adolescents are highly socially affected. At the age of 13-15, a child can even close in himself, if he does not find himself in the right social group that can help him adapt to a difficult transition period. But besides society itself, the media have a significant influence on the formation of the personality of a young person.
Media and the formation of the worldview of youth
Less and less, the worldview of youth is formed under the influence of the older generation. Listen to mom and dad is not possible, and not relevant in a rapidly changing world. But TVs and magazines, imperceptibly for many, have become powerful authorities for young people.
For example, you can take magazines for girls. Representatives of the beautiful half of humanity have used the advice from such publications at least once. And young men, in turn, fall under the influence of men's publications such as Maxim, adopting the cult of a beautiful body and other aspects of their formation.
The above can be attributed to the number of personal influences, but there is also the impact of collective media. Television creates subcultures. It is pointless to argue with this. Indeed, the more often one or another star flickers on the screen, the higher the probability that very soon the crowds of young people will adopt the style and manners of the idol. Ideas and cults of narcotic drugs are laid to inspired teenagers through a TV picture, remember the Great Gatsby film released not so long ago, or, on the contrary, immerse them in patriotic mood through the series Soldiers, which demonstrates all the positive aspects of serving the Motherland.
