What are the negative effects of mass media on culture?

1. In people's daily life, people are confronted with a variety of mass media, which become the objects of entertainment and recreation, and people are thus changing their habits and ways of thinking, which reduces the chances of choosing various cultures. The mass media are unknowingly affecting people's lives, changing their time schedules and interfering with their choice of other cultures.

2. Mass media weaken people's ability to think because they transmit a single cultural element. The instantaneous consumption of mass media makes it impossible to interpret culture in depth, and in the process it blurs out original ideas and opinions. For example, we often use our cell phones excessively: creating an inescapable media dependency that is difficult to break away from; we must look to the media for the source of the ideas and thoughts we receive; and we prefer to express ourselves in a virtual reality and avoid real social interactions.
