General media covers diverse medias vehicles, such as radio, TV, outdoor, etc. Media can influence and modify the behavior of our society, and there are times this influences can be negative, for example, when great medias take part on a thought, influencing the society in aspects that, in parts, could be maleficent to the society. Let us assume that the whole "Global Heating" campaign (currently very spoken on several media channels) is trying to influence and to sensitize the society on the consequences of not taking initiatives to contain the heating. This campaign could have as objective to delude the population serving as leitmotiv* for the consumerism of certain products, and with this to break companies which use harmful products to the planet. Believing that the media will always have a great influence in the society, it would be better if it didn’t manipulate people, unless its base is education.
Media and Education
Media and education walk together in a certain way. The published substances can be used to educate and to inform students. Although the media can provide the news on diverse subjects they not always are of value for education. For this, the educator must be prepared to evaluate the content displayed on the media and know how to apply the content with efficiency in the educational context.
*Leitmotiv – em alemão, significa “motivo condutor”.
