Discuss Negative Media Effects.

You will prepare and submit a term paper on Negative Media Effects. Your paper should be a minimum of 1500 words in length. Especially for the benefit of the kids, it is important to keep a check on the effects that these media and its ads bring on children. The media effects of TV ads can be attributed to the Social Learning Theory. The media-influenced depictions of society or lifestyle can be instrumental in changing the behaviors and attitudes of the children, particularly towards the advertised concepts in the media. The discussion focuses on a particular TV show and its advertisements thereby analyzing the ways these commercials are advertised, the products involved, and how it is directed towards the children. The persuasive strategies used by the advertising companies in these commercials to sell the product are also discussed. In addition, the effects of these ads and their potential health effects on children are assessed in detail. As in Europe, the idea of prohibiting or restricting advertising of products directly to children, particularly when it comes to food-related products is a good measure that can be adopted.
