[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the effects of modern media as found in the works of Parenti, Bagdikian and McKibben. Living in today’s modern world, individuals are well aware of the amount of information they are receiving from the various media and information sources. While individuals may be aware of the mass influx of information they are receiving in the different media formats of, for instance, television, the movie industry and the newspaper and news magazine industries to name a few, most individuals are not aware of the influence this information has on them, or more so, the sources of the influence. Through the works of Michael Parenti, Ben H. Bagdikian and Bill McKibben, there appears to be a much larger and darker side to the media and information industry. Basically, no level of the media industry is immune to political and corporate influence which regulates the content of entertainment and news and in turn directly or subtly influences all individuals in modern society. As a result, individuals are not only being inundated with political and corporate ideals but they are often unaware of this process. In addition, individuals are loosing contact with social and natural factors which provided the basis for community relations and rational and independent thought in the past. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

One of the most heated issues that have caught the attention of the media within the last couple of years is that of the Mexican Mafia. Nicknamed 'La Eme' for the Spanish letter M, the Mexican Mafia has been portrayed as one of the toughest and most feared gangs in recent history, and the media has not fallen short on their duty to depict it as such. Formed in Texas back in 1984 by Heriberto Huerta as a means by which to defend Latino inmates from other prison predators, the Mexican Mafia has not given itself much reason to be presented as anything other than the brutal killing machine that it is. The writer discusses how legitimately the media portray La Eme. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
