MEDIA EFFECTS ON SOCIETY

Sule Ayar

media effects my life sometimes positively sometimes negatively. It depends on my mood I think. For example: I hate advirtisements due to the fact that they really can change your behavior (when you buy something you want to know whether it has an advertisement or not on tv then you may buy or not). It really effects your thinking process you do not think at this position whether your money is enough or not for other days you only try to buy.and it also effects negatively our life, since it has became our life we can not do without watching something on tv such as BBG, Biz evleniyoruz, academi turkiye... even tough you do not want to watch. although you do not watch you hear something from people around you. and we have forgotten to post letters to our lovers we always choose the simplest way such as sending e mail, sms...etc. also with media we hear the news around the other side of the world, we have an idea about what is happening around the world and have the chance of learning something from new about the world. as a consequence I do not let media to disturb, damage my life, and I really do not want this.

In today's world, a lot of teachers, especially in universities, use technology to give new knowledge. For example, some teachers use computers to teach, they prepare their courses on computers. This is very effective for the students that are auditory and visual learners. Working memory is connected to both auditory and visual “buffers” that specialize in storing different symbolic representations of information. However, there are other kind of students as kinestetic learners are affected by this condition badly. Because it is not enough to see or hear for them. We ( teaching chemistry students) lived this situation in a course in the last term and unfortunately this affected us in a negative way...

MEDIA Media is the most effective area to spread wanted behavior or habits to other people. Especially media makes behaviors habits. This is the perfect method to reach every body in a society. The most succesful way of using media is focusing on television. Television is in everywhere of our lives so using tv to reach people so simple at the same time. The media is important for society but sometimes harmful influences appear on people. Unchanged effects can start on people’s lives. People believe everything which usually in the media. Bad products can be shown as if good since media has the significant power because of being common.

In this article Richard E. Clark mentions about the learning benefits of media. if we compare the ways of obtaining knowledge in ancient times and modern world, we obviously see that in this modern time thanks to media we can obtain different ve more information about any subject. Moreover as mentioned in the article, current research designs do not permit any evidence for unique learning benefits from media. Media helps us to obtain many information, graphs, analysis, discussions about any subject. So thanks to this useful side of media we examine a subject in many ways ( anaytical thinkig). Also the information we obtain from any media is not limited, but classroom discussions are limited to classroom. All things considered i want to end my passage by saying that as time goes on, media takes more important role in our life by providing many useful ways of learning. In my opinion "more closer to media, more useful learning"....

Media Up to 21th Century Everything has been changing for years. I think one of the most important changes is in media. The most rapid changes are in the field of technology and these changes affect the many parts of life. Of course that these changes have also been reflected to the field of media. First of all, technological changes made human life easier. In the past, people had many difficulties to communicate or to acccess information. For example, people used pigeons to communicate with far neighbours. But now, in the 21th century, we are using the benefits of technology such as telephone, e-mail(electronic mail)...etc. With the help of media we can easily be aware of all the world. (television, radio...etc.) You don’t need to go to Iraq to see the war. We can increase the number of benefits of media. In my opinion, the most important technological tool is internet. You can find whatever you want and it is a very large source for information. Especially in this century, there is a remarkable increase in the number of internet users. People communicate with each other on the internet tools easily such as ICQ, e-mail...etc. Besides, especially in the universities, some lessons are online. Without seeing the teacher you can attend the lessons on the internet. If we want to count the benefits of media in 21th century, we can never finish them. As a result, technology has been changing rapidly and the media is one of the most affected tools.

If we look the history of the human beings , we can see the changes that make life more secure ,easier and more comfortable. However , there are some unexpected results. for example , human beings invented the knife in order to use for cutting their foods(plants and animals) and for security. But sometimes,knife has been used for just spending time by cutting anything to small pieces that cannot be used for any reason, and unfortunately sometimes,knife has been used for killing a human. we cannot generalize the knife is bad and should not be used , because it has a lot of advantages and the usage of it depends on the human beings that use it. Today we have a lot of technological events in our life. The media is the most important one and it has a lot of advantages that make our life easier. In every area of our life including education , we can use it to get better lives. However the usage of the media is also depends on the user like the knife. The important thing is that not to forget that media is a part of our lives and we should find the best way of using it properly.

It is very clear that , in these days the media supply us with different and more information about any subject . Besides , the debate about the learning benefits of media has extended over eighty years . In the last few years there are a number of key positions about this debate according to the current researches . One of them is related with working memory . Mousavi ( 1995 ) and Mayer ( 1997 ) explained their findings ‘working memory is connected to both auditory and visual buffers that specialize in storing different symbolic representations of information to be learned in each of the two modes . Namely , both auditory and visual symbolic modes results in more learning than information presented in either mode alone-provided that the two modes of information are integrated with each other in time and space . Thus , media helps us with integration of different modes of information so that there is a more learning in difficult science concepts . However as Mayer ( 1997 ) mentioned that ‘learning efficiency’ is very important . Clearly , for students who had a very low prior knowledge and very high visual ability , the both visual and aural modes of instruction increases the learning efficiency . Finally it can be said that , as Cobb ( 1997 ) said, some media and symbolic modes lead to quicker and / or less demanding learning and performance outcomes than other media or symbolic modes for some people and some outcomes than other media or symbolic modes for some people and some learning tasks.

By the increasing in technology, our lives are becoming easier. Today we can reach a lot of information by using computer. Every thing is faster than the things in ancient times. We have a limited life you know. I can learn limited things in the world. However, I can extend the limitation. Today, we can get information, but sometimes we cannot find, I hope the one day, I can reach every knowledge by just a “click”. This is the perfect world I believe. Thanks to everybody to read this little article.

There has been a remarkable increase in the rate of development in technology in today’s world. One of the most important development is in media. We use media in our world everytime. For example, we watch the television to learn what situation occurs. Thus, we are aware of what event occur in England or U.S.A easily. Sometimes, some countries take the advantage of media power for their own benefits. For instance, in war of Iraq, media of this country had not any power to influence people, however, media of U.S.A use this power to mislead the citizens of other countries and help U.S.A to win war in a short time period. This is the most important problem that should be coped with as soon as possible. Besides, all large firms use advertisements to sell their products and media is one of the most important ways to advertise products.

What is next in the media and methods debate? in first part of article learning and media relation is studied.As it is suggested learning in the future media may be an effective tool for teaching.its samples can be seen in our present day world such as distance universities,courses and educational programs.When we consider what in hand it is clear that the future of media and learning relation is very bright. The secaopnd part of artibcle is about the cognitive psychology and media relation.As we all know brain iðs the store of information for man kind.And still there is many point we do not know about how it happened. Via media researches it is possible for us to get an deeper insight how this happen. Further more we can find ways to improve and make easier to get and store the knowledge by researches and one of the important example of that researches is media and working memory researches. The third part of article is about the cognitive efficiensies and media.Ýt is found that media permit some people to learn quicker or with less mental effort.So in this part it is indicated that cognitive efficiensies may be improved by media. To sum up, when we consider all above mentioned facts in the future media will conquer an important part of human life.

Emre Deveci

There is no need to look for a causal connection between learning and media. In twentieth century, we actually live in a process of changes that affect our casual lives towards popularism-media. The case there, is to decide or not to pace with media and technology. In fact, the important thing while adapting into technology is to decide its primarily necessity for learn with better. So, to choose media types which lesten the working memory and requires less mental effort is expecting purposes in preparing computer based instructions.

Muhsin Menekse

The technology and media have positive correlation in our lives. As the time passes the development in technology is rapidly increasing ang with this progress, especially advertisements start to take place everywhere that we interact with or use, not only in classical media organs but also with the new ways such as mobile phones, in our clothes, also in classrooms we can face with advertisements. Moreover media try to teach individuals how to think, how to live, and what they talk about also, they show us something at prime time and we talk about them then one week later there is something new and we forget the other. Most of us effected negatively, and the different views, politics and life styles start to disturb us thus we do not tolerate others. For preventing sufference behaviours, the media should be multifarious so we could learn different comments about a subject.To create a healthy society order, monopoly in media must be inhibited.

Serbay Zambak

Since we live with our environment and we cannot exclude ourselves from our media, it is inevitable fact that we have an interaction with media and it is crucial factor in beneficial learning. The change in technology and science will enable to creat new media in the field of education and it causes an increase in the efficiency of learning as it happened with the invention of the internet. It creates a new media for the education. Before the internet, discussions had to be in classrooms and it is restricted for an hour or two hours but now, it had not to be and it is a good situation for some shy learners who do not want to talk in the classroom. Hence; it enables a rise in the efficiency of learning.

Veysel Eraslan

With the advent of technology there has been a growing tendency in using media in Turkey.The media affects the education system profoundly.In my opinion the media has great contributions to the education system.For instance,when we consider tv programmes in TRT4 giving lessons about math,physic or language greatly influence the learning of students.In addition it is easy to construct your knowledge by following some tv programmes.Another significant type of media is the internet.By using the internet students can reach to qualitative information about a topic.The internet permits us to learn quicker andwith less mental effort.As it is the case in our university it is possible to send your homework to your instructer by e-mail.Needless to say that classroom discussions are important for learning.As Kozma said This discussions are limited to classtime.When we use the media we can carry the discussion to the net discuss on e-mails.

Ramazan Akkilic

media has a big partition in our life.it has a lot of benefits in comunication.but in our country(i don't know others) media often serve out of its goals(you may think who decide the goals of media, what are they? I think media should serve to the society) , someone uses it as a weapon to protect their individual benefits. I can not believe every news that I heard or watched in TV .media has become unreliable (not all of them of course).when I heard a news I have to think twice. And also there are a lot of no ethic programs in TVs, most program are hazardous for children. when I am saying these I don't mean that media is completely needless and dangerous ,media is not dangerous, people make it dangerous .yes it may be the shortest way of reaching information, but I want to reach trustworthy information....

Ýlker Yasin Keskin

There are three types of power. Money, information and prestige. I think the Media is directly used for creating these kind of powers, especially information. So, media can be a power,too. In our "electric society", every type of authorities and ideologies (liberalism, conservativism and communism) knows the way of control to power. And media is an example of this. Let take look at the elections. All the parties and authority try to profit by the advantages of media. In addition, always they try to buy it for their propaganda. Although this is a simple example of facility of media, this can easily show the importance of media. Additionally, all of us know the role of "censorship" and advertisement. We certainly know that our choices and decisions are under the effect of these. So, media is one of the pressure apparatus in our society...Ýlker yasin keskin...

Hüseyin Saðlam

A lot of people have debated or still debating about the learning benefits of media. But what Kozma suggests is very true. He says that it is time to go beyond our concern with “proving” that media “cause” learning so that we can begin to explore the question in more complex ways...we should ask... what ways can we use the capabilities of media to influence learning for particular students, tasks, and situations? By the way we almost always expect that media will be of great use. Yet it is possible that we might find limited benefits in the future. Also when trying to find benefits of media, we face that it may also cause learning problems in some cases especially when used wrongly. In fact this supports the assumption that Cobb is suggesting; “Different media will have different learning efficiencies for different learners.”

THE WORLD CHANGES I think everything is changing from day to day and also every person is changing. Through these changes,important innovations occur in media and in technology. For example, how many people did think that there will be a machine named computer and this machine will do alot of things easily. I think, other important change is the credit card, without any money you can buy somethink, and also you can ,for example, buy the match ticket by using internet and by using credit card and we may order many examples about this change in media. Advertisement is also one of the most important thing for media because many companies arrive the people with the help of advertisements. Shortly, all things are changing and also we can learn all of them by using the media elements.

The Effects of Media In recent days, it is commonly debated about the effects of media on the people.After the developments of media in recent decades, the speed of learning has increased too much. Because the globalization has made the world smaller. So, all people around the world have opportunities to learn news immediately by the help of internet, TV and newspapers. When we want to research about a subject we can utilize internet which is the most important equipment of the media. This simlifies our research to complete and we can reach to the information from all around the world. In addition, we can use the internet for registration, money transfer, seeking a job, sending an e-mail i.e... We can be aware of the bad aspects of the life thanks to media. To illustrate, we have learned that all the food we eat outside is not prepared hygienically and threats our health. However, there are some negative effects of media on the people such as TV shows and movies which cause people to spend their time in vain. In addition, young people desire to be like people which are the products of the popular cultur and they do not want to reach the succes from a hard way.

Fulya Ercan

As in all parts of our lives media has also a great effect on education. Although all we know the instructional method is very important in learning process, we should take into account that the media is also very important. As Howard Gardner states in his Multiple Intelligence Theory there are different categories of human abilities. All students have different type of abilities and learning styles. The media that will be used in instruction should be selected concerning the representational modes of different learners. Using multimedia in instruction generally increases the quality of the instruction but in my opinion this does not mean the instructor will design the instruction according to all different types for all topics. If this happens this can cause redundancy problem as the author states. They should be used if it is needed.

Erkan Saricoban

There have been remarkable developments in technology which make human life easier.In today’s world computers are one of the indispensable innovations for human being. In recent years, we use the computers almost every part of our lives. Like all area, we use it in educational areas as well. Both education and computers are rising phenomena in last centuries because both of them defines the future of new generations for all nations.In addition , computer-based educational technologies is useful for educational purposes because of multisensory delivery ,increased self-expression and active learning by students, cooperative learning, communication skills ,multicultural education and motivation.By this,students can easily visualize the things,connect symbolic expressions to actual world and constructsymbolic examples in their minds.

Mustafa Kacar

In the 20th century, everything had been rapidly by the help of technological changes. For example, travelling styles, life styles, communication tools etc. We can easily say that everything in our lives still changing. In addition, media have been extended rapidly. Radio, television, internet, newspapers have reached nearly all humans. By the help of media, we can easily learn every events in all world at the same time. This makes our lives easier and more confortable. But, unfortunetely, now we are too bounded to the media. Anyone who know how to use media to effect humans can easily persuade us anything that is not happen in fact. He can force us to think what he want. This is the most critical thing in our topic for me. How can we control the truthness of the news or any programs in media? I think this is the biggest disadvantages of media. On the otherhand, media gives us opportunity to reach informations easily. I think media is not a good or bad thing. Media is only a tool to reach all human and gives all informations to them. Being good or bad is only depended to how media is used and the intention of people that holds the media power.

Ahmet Coskun

media is the most important and the most effective tool of the world in this century. and also the effectivness of the media is increasing day by day. by the help of the technology media entries our life easily. for example, television, internet and newspapers and magazines. by the help of the media, we can heard all news from world in a seconds and we can also attain information.in this century, we also watchen wars thanks to media. sometimes media has negative effect on societies physcology. especially magazines program effect our society negatively. so many youngs watch such kinds of program and then they try to be a star or make some negative movements. thus , our society start to degenerate.however, some developed countries use media so as to show their power. taking everything into account, media is the most important discovery of our era. it has some advantages and disadvantages. ý think the advantages are much if we try our truths and beliefs.

Dilek Yildirim

As we know, under appropriate conditions (more time, auditory and visual support, etc.), all students can learn whatever they have to learn. I think we can use media to provide these conditions. I agree with Kozma about his belief as the potential of new media to enhance learning if it is used correctly by instructional designers, because I believe the change in technology and science has a big effect on the change in society and how we become aware of these changes is media. So, if we can accept the effect of the media on people, we can use it as a tool of teaching. I also support Morrison’s idea of using online classroom discussions, because it’s what we are doing now.

Ruhan Circi

It is always mentioned about media that ‘ We must look media to understand the community and vice versa.’To understand the media ,fistly,we can define it correctly.usually,media is thought as television or technology,but in fact as a meaning of the word’media’ ; is the facilitator of activities indirectly.we use media in three ways.One is process of technology nad production;one other ,social relations;and last process of taken into consideration by onlookers and readers.also ,we can define media in several categories: According to relation type;inter-personal,web ‘’ chanel ‘’ ;written,electronic,chemical(films) ‘’ using technology ;family TV,cafe TV,TV in concer saloons ‘’ content of media ;entertainment,soap opera,action,news ‘’ owner ;commersial,under control of state,independent until this point,we used names of media tools that all of them are used in our daily life.this show that media is in our society and also affects our culture.we use media in several ways but the debates still continue interms of at what point it is sufficient.for the effect on our life and on education media have positive and negative effects.for example;war on any part of world can be watched by millions of people like a slight show that bombs fly around and the question is ;are we getting true news or it makes us passive and unreactive about social situations.for education ,we use media alsoand the question is similar ;does it make us more succesful that we get information in short time or it makes us lazy that all knowledge is ready and what we will investigate!!beside these :it is obvious that we have to use media but the more important is using it in a helpful way to proving..

Aysun Altan

In today’s world being not affected by media attributes is almost impossible. We are affected by them directly or indirectly. Even we do not use, touch, see or smell any kind of media attributes; the usage of them by others affects us indirectly. Beside this, we use some of the attributes of the media and in this way we take the influence of them directly. I can give one of my experiences as an example for the direct influence of media. I take a seminar course in this semester. This course has an online discussion part. As Morrison suggested in the article, there is no time limitations in online discussions so that I can give more thoughts to the discussion subject and I can look up and add more references to it. In this case, I think, online discussion will be more beneficial for me than the class discussion.

Omer Ozdinc

Nowadays, most of the people don't believe that the news presented by mass-media are subjective and presented without interpretion; or they can not believe. Because, most of the ways of presentations used by the visual and literary media make people alienated. We mostly neglect ordinary news or do not attracted or looking for what lies under the retoric. However, we spend 1-2 hours of a day to watch ordinary tv channels inspite of this alienation. We can not breath without media. Maybe, we are in a situation that we are alienated to alienation.

Gulsah Ozturk

Technology is developing swittly day by day .Not only technology develop but also science and society develop and change rapidly together with technology.When we look at the change in society we can easily see that our shoping habbits, travelling habbits, communication, language and number of choices change.In addition to these our way of thinking, some laws, computers change in science.We are becoming aware of the society, science and technological development by the help of media which is one of the products of the technology.Marshall Mc Luhan said that “Media is extensions of man”. Namely media is like man . It expresses people needs and shows people how to meet their needs by advertisements and some programs,it teaches helpful information by the documentary, it shows current events and we count more examples about its benefits. On the other hand, people not only affect positively but also media affect people negatively.For example, in our country some magazine programs affect people badly.They interfere people’s secret life and not only parents but also children watch and are affected from these programs.Finally no matter if it is beneficial or harmful media is in our life,it will continue to be in our life.

Elem Guven

For years we have been discussing the role of media in our lives and the benefits or demages of it. But, we are all agree that media (TV, internet, radio, newspaper......) makes our lives easier. We can easily reach all kinds of information and news by using internet. Also, lots of people have satellites to watch programs to learn the news immediately from the other site of the world . However, we use the tools of communication in education, we can learn different techniques used by the other countries by the help of the internet. It gives a chance to all people to reach the information at the same time. So, we are affected by the changes of media.

Eser Dilsoz

Which ones are the most reliable media associations? One of us had claimed that the government sources are sufficient for this in the argument that we made in the class. Not only for media, but also for everything the power groups, whether one or more, takes the advantage of these "tools" to strengthen their position. Therefore, the relief to mainstream media is always lack of confidence. For instance, the number of deads at the earthquake on 17th of August was publicly announced less than the real number. The precautions of the government was targetting the after-earthquake and this knowledge could not find a place in the mainstream media. Consequently, trying to "discover" or "invent" alternative media corporations will serve us different perspectives due to the high censore on the mainstream media.

Tulay Gokce

Ýn this technological world, media which is one of the product of technology entries in our lives. It affect our lives both negatively and positively. Some advertisement and magazine programs are affected negatively because people choose their choices from these programs whether they want or they do not want their thinkink are affected badly. On the other hand, medi affect people negatively for example by the help of media, we can easily learn every events in all world at the same time and we have many useful information. This makes our lives easier and more comfortable. I think media is not a good or bad thing ,it is a part of our lives. It is only a tool to reach what you want.Being good or bad is only depended to how media is used.

Ceyhan Pestimalcioglu

Brothers and sisters You know everything in life is for people. There is no right or wrong. Everything takes place in life is a matter of causality. Media is a production of causality. Since our first matter is education, we can think about advantages of media in education. If we compare todays worst educational environments with ancient world, blackboard, seats, classes, notebooks, pencils are all high technology. These are the crucial components of education. Everything is accelerated with their assistance. Now lets think about best educational components. Videos, projectors, optic readers, labaratories all are crucial for a better learning environment. Media is one of them. But everything in life has duality. Even proverbs even religions. "Ýyilik yap iyilik bul -- Ýyilikten maraz doðar" is a sample. So media has advantages and disadvantages. No need for war. What we need is to accept it without judging.

Hakan Duman

We are living on technology era. Technology has been improved dramatically in recent years. In 1990, there were a few big TV channels and media corporations in the world and we believe their news nearly without questioning. However, there are thousands of TV channels, big media corporations and millions of internet sites nowadays and they are increasing day by day. If one TV channel say something about news, other TV channel say opposite of what other TV channel said. These situations have seen in internet sites, newspaper and magazines also. People start to question news and information on media. Also number of products and, as a consequence, number of advertisements has increased also. People are more affected by advertisements our society have become more consumer society. Media has a big power on people and society. I think, this power may be controlled by government or some c ivil organizations. If not, media will cause some big severe effects on society.

Selale Tunc

MEDIA EFFECTS ON SOCIETY We are in the century of technology and we have to use this technology to catch up with the people all around the world. media is the part of the technology. thanks to media we arrive all the information accured all around the world. for example, media includes television, newspaper, internet, video etc. such devices makes the peoples' life easier and better. the socities which follow the media can reach the high standarts of living conditions. on the other hand, media can cause negativve effects on culture and life style of people. there are many programs on television which are prepared only for rating of watching. so such programs underestimate our culture. then, many people are effected negatively. they try to imitate VIP and people who attend tv shows and recent competition on tv.

Yadel

Richard E. Clark’s article is about questions such as ‘Can we use media in education?’ ‘How should we use media in education?’The article begins with Bob Kozma who doesn’t believe media’s benefits for learning except if media is used correctly by instructional designers.Then, article tells about working memory studies and in which conditions learner would default to focusing on different or novel learning goals.Beside this,cognitive efficiency,in fact,capacity to speed learning and make learning less effortful or expensive is argued.Lastly, By the view of this arguments ,some advices about use of media in learning is given by the writer.

Funda Akbulut

Media has many effects on society both positively and negatively. One of the positive effect is we can reach any information easily via the television, telephone and also Internet. We can know what happens at the other end of the world by using media channels. The number of these channels increases day by day by the developments of technology. We can read newspaper; we can have a chance to talk about many different topics with many different people, we can learn the idea of these people. On the other hand this technological developments decrease the face to face relationships. People will be more and more technology dependent; they make most of their jobs by using these media tools. They become assimilate from their daily lives.
