"Over the last 500 years, the influence of mass media has grown exponentially with the advance of technology." Found in an article called 'Mass Media Influence on Society'. This Means that Technology has advanced along with the expansion of massive media. Media first began with books, newspapers, articles,magazines, photographs, etc. Those resources are still being used till this day, The most common media used today are television, internet and social media. Many people depend on media because of the useful information it contains and the communication such as work, education, entertainment, and many more things. Although media is useful resource to many of us and people see it as a positive , Its expansion can also have a negative effect. Children are also a part of the expansion of media such as television, it can become a serious mental and physical issue for children.
"The average child sees 12,000 violent acts on television annually,
including many depictions of murder and rape. More than 1000 studies
confirm that exposure to heavy doses of television violence increases
aggressive behavior" This is an example of the negative way television affects children. These are the some of the effects on media.

Animals do not have a voice to speak up on what they like or dislike. Many people mistreat their animals but what can the animals do? Nothing. The thing about this is that they are being mistreated all over the world, dogs are being trained to fight other dogs, and animals are being killed for human consumption. These things are inhumane and unfair towards animals. Based on the statistics I have researched, each year 10,000 bull dogs die in bullfighting. Which means that that either the opponent dog kills the other, or they both kill each other. This is not right, dogs should not be trained to fight other dogs. Another issue is dogs being killed for human consumption. Animals are being killed for food.Based on the statistics I found, People eat about 250,000,000 tonnes of meat annually worldwide and The amount of meat people eat is growing by about five million tonnes per year. This means that if the amount of meat being consumed is increasing then more animals are being killed for it. Animals are also being consumed for clothes, more than 50 million animals are violently killed for use in fashion every year. These things are unfair towards animals and we should be their voice and help stop this injustice.
