Dependecy Theory

With Dependency theory, they suggest that people rely on the media for information determining their decisions. This means the media can create many different feelings such as fear, anxiety, and happiness. 


1) I tend to use the media mainly for entertainment and socialising with people. i do at times use it for information to find out what is going on and also research. sometimes i use the media for a distraction or when i have nothing else to do. when i am doing work i tend to have the tv on for background noise.

2) i feel that most of the population is really dependent on the media to find things out or just for entertainment. as technology has developed the use of the media has increased and therefore the dependency has increased too as everything and anything is available on the media. The media is able to control how we feel by what we watch or listen to.
