Im not sure what directing to go for this essay, i have changed it 3 times. can someone tell me if this would be correct?
The answer is media doesn't decide what is important, The creators put out there what they think will catch peoples eyes, boring doesn't sell. Most people want drama or like hearing about gossip and the new trends, but is that really important (to them/you )? The majority of important things are uninteresting. For example, going to school is one of the many things that is important to do, but isn't always so exciting.
Magazines are a prime example of making something noteworthy, most of the modeling pictures in magazine pages you have seen had touchups or editing done to it by professionals (its not real). Why would they do that? Because people don't care much for an ordinary person, They want perfection, but in reality nothing is as it seems and “perfect” is impossible to find. That is why perfection is craved and desired. which can be used as a secret weapon. now with all the technology we have out today, perfection can be made in a click of a button and essentially used as a secret weapon. For example, if you post a picture with a filter and again the same picture without the filter, The odds are the one with the edit would probably get the most likes.
Likes are the basically the same thing as views, The more likes you get, the higher your “fame” rate goes. The least amount of likes means the less you're known. Same goes with views, but in most cases if you get a certain amount of views you can get an enhanced amount of money.
Money can get you many things, you might be able to say money equals power, And the more money you have, the more powerful you become. Having power is a great feeling, but too much power can cause chaos. That is why in the government they are separated by 3 branches legislative, judicial, executive. Each branch splits the power so no one can overrule another.
Since media has come out, it has been a great money source. Over time our newspapers turned into broadcast, then came the internet. And with all these different kinds of media, the goal was always the same. More views equals more money. Strive for more views and do anything necessary to get hits. Sometimes people even take the risk of doing legal actions or suing for money. So whatever you are watching or reading might not be so important, but it sure as hell is entertaining
