The media affect my perception of the social problems faced by societies in America. Some of these problems include crime, violence, and immorality. The media are often focused on their quantity of coverage, so much that they undermine individuality and aspects of rich culture.

The negative depictions of the media, thus, create an impression of an unconstructive society, hence increasing the social problems.
