Religious channels
It all depends on the persons believes, mores and the way he was rise. In my opinion I see that these kind of channels are kind of educational they teach some things that is valuable and I can use in my life, but it doesn’t mean that all kinds of religious channel can be excepted by all kind of people. It depend on religion that an individual belongs to. For example a recent religious channel that was launched Al-Resala, I think that it’s an excellent channel were it’s not a channel that is so strict, it’s a channel were most of its programs are light and effectible that persuade people in a nice easily way. There are some religious channels that have been so strict and they always judge people and threat them they are not beneficial at all what they cause is the hate and anger between people and I ‘am against that for sure.
Media and Privacy
Privacy is something important in peoples life, no one would prefer his life without privacy; there are some moments and activities that people wouldn’t like others to know about, were it’s part of their lives that no one have the right to know or follow. When it comes to celebrities it’s a different case. They chose to be famous, no one did force them to be famous, were it’s part of their job to be followed by papparatzies and photographers, they sure do know that there are millions of people all around the world are looking forward to know all their latest news, photos and occasions , there are nothing they can do about it. If I was a celebrity I will know before I enter this world that there will people who will be influenced by me, photographers who will track me, companies who will pay lots of money just for getting the most recent pictures. That is the world of fame, who choose it should stick with it, celebrities are no more regular people.
media and peoples thinking
In my opinion media is the key of people attitudes and the way they form their personalities, also, they build their lifestyles based on what they watch from all media resources. For example, TV talks shows, movies, music videos and magazines. For example if Lindsay Lohan have done any attitude or ware any new item or style most of the girls will do the same, if Opera say a valuable advise, most of the people and her fans will take this advise . Movie stars and media icons have became most people influential resources. For me for a year and a half I’ve been influenced by late 70’s and 80’s styles, music and main figures in that period. Media is a real tool that changes people’s thinking and the way of life.
Beauty and Cosmetic Surgeries
Beauty is a main part in both males and females life. Specially, when it comes to the media field, most of the programs that we watch on TV, we can see that make up, outfits and cosmetic surgeries have played a big role in them. People get influenced by them immediately; I am not against plastic surgeries that people use when they have serious problems in the way they look; for example, injuries from crash accidents or major problems in their bodies that they got since they were born. It depends on people’s thinking and the environments they’re living in were there are some communities that forbid cosmetic surgeries that have been done without a serious excuse. About those programs like, The Swan and Extreme Make Over, I think that it was a big success for the producers for these shows, because in that time it was a new thing that you watch a real change in a human look in a 25 or 30 minutes episode, and it became a real phenomena in the media world, it get too many peoples attentions and hopes. At the end beauty is important for both sex but beauty is really what comes from the soul not what comes from your looks.

Influencial America
America ! The most influencial country, especially in terms of Media, has influenced everybody globally! From dressing styles, to manerisms, people want to "copy" America, or rather Americans, as they are portrayed to us! How many of the people following the trend sets by America, have actually visited the country or know a lot about its geography, history, curretn-politics or even know the name of all its States? Well, when being shadowed by the media and its tainted pretty painted pictures of America, why wouldnt we want to follow the oh-so-magical country's behaviour patterns, and not stick to our own country's language, dressing style and culture?
And have you ever wondered? All of us are studying at an American University because of the creditbility that an American affiliated or accredited Degree holds! Why is it so?
Over the years, America has established a well ground for everything. Be it technology, education, fahsion or command on language! Internationally, socially their culture, lifestyles, technology etc. has become popular and therefore in demand! Not doing what evrybody else is doing, also indirectly makes you deviant, or a more appropriate term would be, a social outcast!
Clothes: The Indians have their traditional clothes, so do the Arabs or any other nationalities. Then why dress in skirts or pants? This is because the media has enforced certain views upon everybody of what is cool and what is not? Numerous trends have emerged in a fashion industry also known as "Western Clothing" - deriving from the fact that its American!
Language: Come to think of it, everybody wants to have an American accent, or people fancy American girls, or girls fancy American boys' accents! However, English originated from England, not America, then why does American accents make people go crazy!
Again the answer is fostering consumer culture that America has very smoothly done, over time! Media and socialisation has made America capable of setting trends and allowing us to follow them!
There have been both negative and postive impacts of this so called "Americanisation", but nothing drastic can actually be done about it now. I believe there are more pros than cons, and thus i wrap my writing, with America is very influencial, and media strongly helps it gain more and more power!
