Media and Releationships

don't we all enjoy role-play. sometimes knowing where our behaviour comes from and at other times we can't even recall. we are looking this week at the mass media and their presentations of relationships, what is called a relation or a dating. How are they portrayed in movies, video clips and soap operas. And to what extent they are affecting our attitudes and behaviours. Since it is hard for many of us to talk even to best friends, about their relationships, it is the media which is one our main consultants on what to do? how to interact at the very beginning of a relation? when to feel jealousy? should we show it or not? where do we stop? etc.

Hi every one this is Nora Al Ali :
Media has been playing very important role in our life. We cant imagine our self’s with out media’s I tried to imagine my self living with out TV, radio and internet..etc, but I found it very difficult because when we first open our eye we watch TV and we spend long time watching Cartoons for example I remember my self that when I was a little chilled I used to have my lunch in front of TV watching my favorite cartoon Tom & jerry, which show us how media effect us since we were children.
I agree with you when you stated that media shapes our relationships by giving us some kind of advice and let us to know how to deal with our partner. Even if we have close friend they can’t tell us every thing about their relationships because they conceder every thing in their relationships as privacy thing to save their relation. That’s why media helped us a lot to know how to deal with many kind of different situation with our partner. By watching much kind of movies that deal with issues about relationships and how they start and how it must end and so many different kinds of stories. Not only movies, but also we watch many different kinds of shows that talked about relationships. which helped us a lot as I see it around me finally as I stated I can’t imagine my self living with out media because media is helping me a lot in my daily life especially in my relationships and I hope to have always good and honest relationships…..
