In today’s society we are facing yet another big social problem. We are living in the world of mass media. Through various channels and networks we are more connected that ever. That have it’s good sides of course,but as every other let’s called it “invention” has it’s good and bad effects. One of the downsides of mass media issue and hole problem with globalization through connecting via internet is a paradox of you look at it this way. Mass media are constantly “bombing” the internet with all kind of news. Even when they are reporting about some political or social problem they simultaneously creates another social problem. People live in constant fear of this news and that effect gives a negative impact regarding people health. It’s probably one of the most neglected problem in civilized society. If ypu take a closer look you can see a pattern. In order to make money people are placing all kind of bad stories without any scientific research or evidence. It’s called a “sensationalism of journalism” because that stuff are attracting more people so that sites or blogs can have more visitors and therefore they will , through commercials and other sponsorship deals “make their way to the top”. They are deliberately forcing the worst kind of news, mainly from the section of “dark chronic”. Nowadays everybody is given the chance to to this kind of work. The person who made decision to be a”journalist” can do this in a very short time and very cheaply. In some cases , when it comes to blogs you even dont need any money to write, or to create your own blog. In that way, you are free to work and write about everything you need to make money. Almost 90 percent of this blogs are of destructive nature and they are now shown as a new kind of social problem. They are deliberately forcing the worst kind of news and that effects people mental health. All kinds of articles that are showing , for example, the ISIS crimes, with brutal images of decapitation of people or brutal rape and all kind of savage behavior creates a image that people are not safe nowhere. The other kind of mass media abusers are the self-proclaimed experts in various fields. All kind of motivational speakers and healing gooroes are rising everyday and gain followers around the world. Those people who are under their influence are destroying themselves willingly and not knowing that everything is a carefully selected and planned scams. So, people who are beeing hooked by they stories dramatically and drastically changes their way of life because they are convinced that they are doing the right thing. They are later forced to pay membership fee. They unfortunately placing their lives in those people hands instead to seek help from a certified professionals. That gives a devastating effect and they are in danger of losing their lives, their families, jobs and so on. The third main problem of the internet and mass media abusers are so called “dark web”. Hidden websites with discussing content. Today is easier than ever to form a cult for instance. Through “dark web” they propose a new way of life and religious beliefs and that is the reason we have much more mass suicides in this decade. Unfortunately it’s very hard to police to find those cult leaders or “new mesias” so these people are getting away with murder in relative easy way. Bu the time police responds to this kind of issues those cult leaders simply cut down their operations and forming another one in some other countries or even other parts of the world. Statistic are showing that these people are couth in only 10 percent of cases. That is why mass media is one of the biggest problems with social consequences in the world today.
