But nowadays, everything is different than past because people takes its own samples radio,newspaper or television that the celebrity people. Same people believe that, this sometimes adversely affects the lives of people. Same others believe that positive effects on people .....

To begin with, everything changes in time in the world. One of the most important reasons of this change is technology influence on people's opinions and positions. These changes have more impact on the younger generation. It is more difficult for adults to accept an idea than the younger generation. These changes are reported on TV, radio, newspapers etc. These are used by the younger generation. For example, the younger generation's opinions change thanks to political news broadcasted on TV. This shows that, the mass media, including TV, radio, newspapers have a great influence on people and especially on the younger generation because of all these reasons.

The second aspect to point out is that in today's world tv series are increasing in day by day and this affect young people in many ways and the most important thing is that the young people can get on tv what happened to them as role models. There are lots of characters that people wont to be like them. They also include violent. For example Ezel is the famous series and Kenan İmirzalioğlu is a character in that series who has a most of violent acts. Young people especially watch that series and they can wont to be like him. They start to act like him and get violence behavior. It can affected most peoples is in a bad way. Another example is that magazines include most of the celebrities’ luxury life. Celebrities have lots of money and they have luxury houses and cloths.

On the other hand, lots of people think that media is unnecessary thing to young people in terms of shaping their opinions and positions. However, this idea is not quite right. Lots of children grow with the Television. They watch every time in day. Therefore, they tend to behave that whatever they see on the Television. For example, there was a child who tries to fly like a ‘POKEMON’. He died because he jumped from the window. This is bad side to shape opinions. Moreover, some children watch some beneficial TV programs or listen radio programs. Thanks to these beneficial programs, they can improve their listening skills, speaking skills or thinking skills because lots of young people don’t think that what they do in the life. To illustrate, some documentaries on TV, some radio programs and some articles in the newspaper can help young people in the school or exam. They can answer some questions thanks to TV, radio or newspaper. In brief, Mass media plays an important role in shaping opinions and positions of the younger people.
