Can the Media Be Toxic?

The media can most certainly be toxic, It is filled with lies and many cyber bullies. Children are faced with being ridiculed online just for their appearance. It’s very saddening to people like Ken Kurson that the media can be so negative at times. It has shaped the way of the world in many different ways and it’s unfortunate to see people be down on themselves over something that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

The media published stories about diet culture, unethical products, and food that is horrible for the digestive system, mainly just because of money, Advertisements, no matter if they are good or bad, exist to influence people to purchase items from the company. This can be toxic because it instills people to build classes with each other.Let’s say there are commercials about luxury items. Those who can afford it are automatically at a higher class which can cause bullying and belittling. The media has so many other ways that it can be toxic and distinguish people from each other. Ken Kurson urges people to take breaks from the influences of social media before anything negative comes from it.
