Effects of media on our relationships

As far as media is concerned we are influenced by every aspect of it and our relationships are as well. More or less we are using what we see in movies as a guide to our relationships since we are always looking for a reason to our questions. Though there is no right or wrong answer or better yet there is no right answer to any of our questions we tend to prefer the ones in movies or media in general over our own choices. The reason is probably because in movies a happy ending of the solution is created to the problem where as even the end of the movie, is still half way of the relationship. Although we know that what we see in the movie is not the real or final result but we still tend to accept it and follow it hoping that same thing would happen to us. We tend to rely on the written mediums like magazines and newspapers more than movies. Magazines and newspapers are more directed towards problems and solutions when dealing with them rather than movies. Where in movies you need to search for the problem and the answer in magazines the problem is usually a given question and the answer to it. Magazines for that matter are more influential than movies because they are usually written by a professional. TV shows or better yet live discussions shows like Opera or Dr. Phil are even more influential than magazines and newspapers because they give a live example so that you can relate yourself better to it and discuss it. Also, it is more influential because the guest in the show whom is going to discuss the problem is always an expert.
Though the media tries to find and give the best answers to our relationship problems and we always tend to follow them, we should always double think about them. One reason is that the results are not always like the examples in the media. And also, they are not always the best answer to our problems since there is not only one answer to the problems. Yet, it’s nice from time to time to have a sort of right answer to your problem. Effects of media on our relationships
