Effects Debate

 

 

The effects debate is aimed at the censorship and the way the media is able to change/manipulate the audience in negative ways - and that there is a specific need to control media in order to protect its audience. People today who come up with ideas are put into certain categories (3 groups).

 

1. Cetain people that use their voice to address their concerns for danger within the media without having any real or actual truth to what they are saying. This can be related to politicans - the majority of the media itself is another example and campaining groups (Protest).

2. Certain people that have researched into specific effects on the media and whether things have had a postive or negative effects on the media audience.

 

 

3. The audience that are subjective and drawn to this debate are typically the youth/teenagers that are still having many mixed opinions on the world of media, throught the ages their opinions will change wwhen they get older.

 

 

 

Censorship in Media can also be related to age restrictions - age restrictons are placed on TV shows, Movies and Vido-Games. All of these examples have numbers varying from 3-18. 3 being the less extreme and 18 being aimed at the mature. In film there is an orginisation called the BBFC - they  are responsible for the correct classification of movies/video-games. Anyone below the age of the classification are stricly not allowed to use/watch the media product.
