Media globalization is an integral
component that has shaped the world we live in today, becoming more dependent
on it. The most common form of media we come in contact today are
advertisements.
Many say the benefits of media
outweigh its ramifications. However, this is primarily because people are only
exposed to the merits that media has brought us. For instance, technological
advancements have made life more convenient, with the advent of Internet
telephony, making communication with loved ones in different countries easier
than before.
Despite the benefits of media, its
consequences are the ones affecting us most. For instance, Media Corporations,
who are mainly focused on profits, have caused loss of jobs due to lower costs
of production.
With the wealthiest countries
producing most media available, it is inevitable that the messages produced
influence people with the author’s interest and biases. At the same time, it portrays
the cultures of these countries, such as greed.
With our increasing contact with
media, media globalization will continue to have an overwhelming significance
in people's daily lives.
