GROWING
UP WITH THE MEDIA

By P.
G. Aldrich

What do you
remember most about your childhood? Running through the long dewy grass of a
meadow or the Saturday morning TV cartoons? Sitting in the kitchen watching
your mother cook supper or sitting in the living-room watching Captain Kangaroo![1]
Which came first on Sunday morning — breakfast or the comics?

Now bring your
memories up to date. What did you and your friends talk about, at least part of
the time, before class? An item from a newspaper? An ad that you noticed in a
magazine or a television commercial? An episode from a popular TV series? A
movie? Or a new record that you heard on the radio?

If your answers
parallel those of most young people, you add to the proof that mass media play
a large and influential part in your life. Your answers also prove just how
casually (мимоходом) you accept the
media, just as you accept the house you live in, cars, electricity, telephones,
your school, and your family as part of your environment. Parents and teachers
agree that all young people growing up with the media learn from them sometimes
more than adults wish you to. (And this is the cause for alarm.)

If the use of them
referring to media in the last sentence seems strange, remember that the word media linguistically is plural. When
people make a fuss about the media being a bad influence, they usually are
talking about television, the most
powerful medium of all. Maybe calling television the media can be justified
technically because, as a medium, it embraces functions of several media such
as newspapers, magazines, movies, and recordings.

The major media can
be divided into two kinds, print and electronic. The print media - newspapers, magazines, books, pamphlets, catalogues, circulars, brochures, anything you read — are the
oldest, dating back to the invention of the printing press in the fifteenth
century. The electronic media — radio,
television, films of all kinds, records,
tapes, anything that is transmitted
by the use of electricity — are less than a hundred years old.

Another meaning the
word mass suggests is "the
people", a phrase too often associated with adjectives like dull-witted, credulous (легковерный), ill-informed, uncritical, and passive.
Or are the mass of people well-informed, sophisticated, thoughtful, and active?
Which are you? How much of what you know about yourself has been taught you by
the media? You may not realize how greatly the media influence you because in
your lifetime they have always been there. In fact, short of deliberate
isolation on a mountain top or being lost in a forest and reared by wolves, no
one will ever again grow up without the presence and influence of the mass
media.

Is this good or
bad?

An experiment
recently conducted in Europe by the Society
for Rational Psychology showed that watching television is psychologically addictive. The idea of becoming addicted
to television brings up questions involving subtle conditioning and
brainwashing that could be friendly or vicious, altruistic or self-serving.

In a commercial
society the media's ability to stimulate motivation
to buy — almost as though people were puppets on strings — builds other
people's power. It can be power for good or power for bad, but it is always power for control.

All these negative
aspects of growing up with the media need consideration, at the same time you
are enjoying the positive aspects of immediately knowing what's going on in the
world, sharing great entertainment and historical events with everyone else in
our "global village", and having the fun of trying out a new product
that you wouldn't have known about without advertising.
