We use the media to satisfy our needs and wants.
Needs: the basic necessities of life. something you cannot do without.
want: a form of human need that is shaped by our culture, individual preference and personality.
i use the media to be updated with the happenings around me and the world as a whole.
sometimes most of the things i watch, read or hear on the media influence me both negatively and positively.
for instance, i buy mirror on Saturdays because i am much interested in the center, the attire and styles sewed by designers. if i am interested in a particular attire, i sew some for myself or purchase it.
also, i listen to BBC news almost everyday and believe their sources of news are very professional and always true. when there was rumors that there would be earth tumor, until BBC said there would be nothing like that, i was peacefully sleeping.aftre listening to their news, i try to mutate them by talking like them.
the media also educate me with their fascinating programmes, example, brilliant science and maths quiz, what do you know?, Zain African challenge and talented kids. they also inform me through the news bulletin, counsels me with their inspirational hour with Ota Bill, Pastor Chris and others.
i am also addicted to certain programmes like second chance, storm over paradise and others...i even behave like some major characters who portray good roles.
the media has a lot of impact on others especially me.
