Most societies consider parents as an important element in our nation's upbringing, these people's jobs is to cultivate and groom us as a youth into young men and women with strong morals and values.What happens to our youth if these people are substituted by a different kind of parent..a parent that has many face and seemingly different mind sets but in actual fact preaching the same ideology ?
our generation lives in an era where most of ur education doesn't come from any textbook or teacher who u go to for an hour or 2 each day for a lesson, No! The education in this era that we live in, comes from a more permanent teacher that does not only master in math,science or even language..this teacher is a master of one subject, and that subject is the human mind.
This teacher is what we call 'Media'. Whether u would like to admit it or not, you have fallen prey to its false truths..the problem the problem isn't that our society is illiterate..the problem is that even those who sit with their degrees and Diploma's got the wrong kind of education. What a person knows about his or her history will affect him in the future. Sadly most south africans do not even know the history of their own people and country. The knowledge that we have or lack there of is exploited and the media fills in the blank spaces of what u dnt knw with what they want u to believe.

this is true. I think most are influenced by the media because they lack insight about it and the creativity to fill in the blanks in their mind.
I think it's sad that the media is instrumental in our decision making, meaning our decisions are centralized. In fact, the executive ordering of events, which is sugar-coated as globalization is critical in our life. We forget about our native culture and we are manipulated into following blindly what we don't know. I certainly agree that the media controls us.
