...Effects of Mass Media Worksheet Write brief 250-to 300-word answers to each of the following: Questions | Answers | What were the major developments in the evolution of mass media during the 20th century? | At first there was the radio, it was a point with some families that it was family time to sit and listen to radio shows. Then the television came along and because back then there were, only a few channels to choose from so it still incorporated family time but it took the discussions afterward out of play. People started watching what was in front of them and not paying attention to the family that was in front of them. Communication ebbed and I think that is why our society is the way it is today. People have senses and with the radio, you used one sense, your hearing. Leaving the option for talking about what they were listening to and being able to communicate as a family. With the television, it took another sense. You have to use hearing and seeing leaving little room for talking about what you watching and listening to. People would watch and hear what the television was placing in front of them and would take it for what it was and say very little to the ones that were around them. I think, based on my grandmother that people would listen to the news, and see the pictures, people would take it for what it was and not question it. Although back then we did not have several ways of voicing our opinions as we do today. The developments in the evolution of mass...

(1) In the WHO European Region, non-communicable diseases cause 86% of deaths and 77% of the disease burden (DALYS). (2) Cancer and the environment About 60% of cancers have causes other than lifestyle factors; these include environmental exposures. A WHO European Region conference in Asturias, Spain in March 2011 unanimously adopted a declaration which stated: "A substantial percentage of all cancer is caused by environmental and occupational exposures". (3) Expert scientific reviews have linked endocrine-disrupting chemicals to breast and prostate cancer. (4) A European Commission assessment of REACH prior to its introduction stated that if this legislation succeeds in reducing chemical-related diseases by only 10%, the health benefits are estimated at 50 billion Euros over 30 years. This corresponds with 2,200 to 4,300 fewer cancer cases in the workplace annually.

...Effects of Mass Media Trevor Stanton HUM/186 January 22, 2014 Effects of Mass Media During the last century there were several major developments in the evolution of mass media. These developments are the evolution of the print, electronic, and digital eras which now encompass modern day media. These three eras have significantly affected American culture and economics, while ushering in a new standard of mass communications. While paper printing can be traced back to China as early as 100 c.e, modern printing did not emerge until the mid-fifteenth century. At that time, the printing press was introduced. The printing press was a conglomerate of machine duplication, rapid duplication, and faster production. These three elements were necessary for mass-market innovation. Information and ideas could now be spread faster and farther than ever before. With the evolution of the printing press, production of mass quantities at lower costs per unit became essential in mass production of other goods. This led to the Industrial Revolution, modern capitalism, and the consumer culture of the twentieth century. “With the revolution in industry came the rise of the middle class and an elite business class of owners and managers who acquired the kind of influence formerly held only by the nobility or the clergy. Print media became key tools that commercial and political leaders used to distribute information and maintain social order”. (Campbell, R., Martin, C., & Fabos, B. (2012)....

The term “mass media” made its first impact in the 1920’s when radio, video, and television changed the market. These choices became very popular with a generation that no longer wanted to read in order to receive information and entertainment.
