Mass Media
We've all seen news channels, newspapers, magazines, etc. We all know what their purpose is, to "inform" the people of "important" events. But what events are important? The media wants us to believe that the "pressing issues" are; Murder, Sexual Offences, Hollywood Gossip, and Political/Famous Scandals. But are these really important? Or is the media just trying to divert our attention from real issues, like global warming?

I think it's just for entertainment. If you want to learn about world issues there are still plenty of places you can go, shows you can watch and things you can read to do so. The other stuff is just meant for entertainment value, useless information that people for some reason enjoy.
