All forms of media entertainment may it be movies, books, and or television shows have major influence on every culture, every race, and just plain out every human’s language that they use in every day conversation. Just like with the concept of watching to many violent shows and playing to many violent games making one violent the concept of enjoying mass media entertainment that uses prejudicial language can have increase negative effect on increasing use of prejudicial language in daily conversation.
The way mass media entertainment has increasing effect in the influence on the use of prejudicial language can be compared through the same method and effects that war propaganda had on people. Being shown only one type of media commercial, an example being listening to one type of music or reading one style of book over and over, is almost like brain washing. For children up to children, teenagers, and up to young adults this method of is very common since they are all still growing and absorbing new information everyday, so companies can take advantage of this and have their products have an influence in their life by being a part of their daily lives that they experience pretty frequently.
The fact that censorship on foul/mature language is being lowered every year on daily media, news, television shows, and even movies, is having an ever so increasing effect in the use of judicial language as well. There was a time where you couldn’t say bitch on television without getting the word bleeped out, but now you hear it everywhere from MTV to the morning news. I do like the fact that America’s censorship is becoming more open since most of the world their censorship is practically nil or non-existent, but you think we would be tightening our grip on censorship instead of loosening it to effect younger generations from using such prejudicial language, forming new prejudices, and being inspired to use these new found ideals in everyday life. This issue of watching, reading, or using any form of media entertainment is not the fault of the children but instead the parents' fault in the method they use to raise their children. In my opinion if the parents of the child gave a care into what mass media their children or teenagers currently use on a daily basis they would turn out to be fine, but the problem is that most parents really don’t care at all which gives free reign to mass media being able to bend the mind of children and young adults out there to fill their heads with what they want them to think.
