Media's Exposure Of Poverty.
The media has an essential role in shaping our society which
has an impact on both culture and ethics. It not only influences the people in
all forms of positive aspects but also in the negative form. It is by far the
most dangerous weapon of mass destruction or world peace. Media nowadays can
unite countries with rough ties and can also create a tiff. Therefore, if the
media does not act upon ethically in the society than the world can expect
people with brainwashed generations of terror. Media in all forms is either
printed or electronic or the web being its medium. It can spread joy, happiness
be the voice and educate people.
The poor people in the United States is almost invisible.
The media hardly has any column to state the poor generations in the United
states because they don't want to see or hear about them. Rather talk about the
rich Kardashians or Superficial Housewife’s or the New Yorkers living in huge
apartments which they can somehow magically afford, despite jobs that pay
moderate wages. We need to see those people out there who struggles and need
attention.
The poor people in the world are portrayed as people who are poor by choice, habitation and the norms they follow. If they had any will to change their state, they would choose different form of habitat and norms. It is for which the poor is classified different from the rich. Around most of the poor people are victims of inequality, poor education, conflict etc. The only proper solution to is donation by the rich people to these people who are unprivileged.
Apart from all the above criticism of the media. Media still holds its reputation in highlighting the poor people struggles all over the world and thereby raise funds worldwide and gets further assistance from the UNDP, The Red Cross, World Bank Group, USAID, UNICEF for cheap medicine, shelter, food.
