Portfolio Task 4

            Many people can be influenced by the media either in a good or bad way. In this essay, I’m going to outline some of the arguments about the statement.
            For starters, many people agree that media has a big impact in their life. To illustrate, media provides entertainments for people who want to watch movies or listen to the world news. Another important reason is advertisements. For example, people advertise their products or ideas through the media because it’s the fast way to reach everybody.
            Now let’s turn our attention to some people who disagree that media does not have an influence in their life or ideas. One factor is that they can learn from experiences. For instance, form their experiences they can learn and have knowledge, either it’s good or bad which has a big impact in their habit or behavior. Another factor is that the people in their life may have a stronger influence than media. To clarify, parents, teachers and friends can have big influences regarding behavior, religion and culture.
            To sum up, in my opinion I think that both media and the people in your life can influence you either in positive or negative way.
