videoclips

Nowadays the effect of media cant be underestimated in our lives specially the youth. Media is the major source of knowledge for most of us. Even if we believe that the media cannot influence or change our beliefs or moral values it does strongly influence us. Most of us consider TV as the main source of entertainment, most youths nowadays are not interest or aware of what is happening in the world internationally, all of their interests are directed towards musical video clips, which is a really dangerous issue from my point of view. I even find it weird to relate the video clips that are present these days to the word music. All what it represents is provocative figures with really poor voices and with extremely sexual lyrics, that have no any meanings whatsoever. The musical channels claims that they are not having a planned agenda to brain wash the teens. However, they portray figures that are so different than their backgrounds and beliefs causing a huge gap in their lives and creating conflicts between the teens and their society. From my personal experience I don’t think I was not influenced deeply by the musical video clips and that goes back to the way I was raised, I criticize them the whole time and laugh often on them and get entertained also by them. But I cant deny the amount of the time that I wasted on watching those silly video clips. What I mean is that nowadays the youth is not ignorant or stupid and they can differentiate between the right and wrong but the greater influence is the amount of time that is wasted on these video clips that keeps our nations behind
