The problem with the modern media is they do not have a sense of social justice. Do your agree?

Modern as defined in the dictionary is present, media is defined as the means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, and magazines, that reach or influence people widely. Social jusctice is referred to as the distribution of advantages and disadvantages within a society.

I agree that the modern media do not have a sense of social justice. I feel that modern media should be the medium to convey reading facts to readers and to educate the public with latest events and updates on the news. These medium of media should be used properly and in the correct manner, like just purely telling facts and information.

However, through the examples of blogs and downloads, it clearly shows that modern media is being misused. Bloggers made use of blogging to gain fame and popularity. They teach the younger generation wrong things such as to criticize a person on their blogs. Although each and everyone of us is allowed to have our freedom of speech but it is too skeptical and not upright to badmouth someone in a public blog, especially if the name is made known and the person is obvious to readers.

Modern media had caused many illegal acts to be commited. One of which will be the illegal downloading of files. The internet allowed users to download files illegally, most of the time, users are being tempted to do so.

Overall, I feel that modern media do not have a sense of social justice.
