Mess and Media

Media and mass media are often used when discussing the power of modern communications. The word media is often used to refer to the communication of news. The word includes not only the newspapers, but the term can be extended to include magazines, TV show, internet and everything that can reach and inform large audience. In the Twenty-first century, TV show occupies an important role of media and become the most common way for people to get the information. However, some of the TV shows send the audience totally wrong information. The Comedy Central’s South Park usually exaggerations the issues and lead the audience toward to a wrong idea. South Park, which is created by four elementary main characters, uses the social issue or the privacy of celebrities as a topic to create the dark humor video. South Park is about four young boys growing up in the American Midwest. It sounds harmless enough, but the show is actually full of swearing, violence and gross humor.
The Comedy Central’s South Park performs the four characters in a carton version due to the untruth. Carton version can provide the audience an unreal sense so the audience will not mix the false information and the fact of the real world. Since the overall show is all made by the two Creator and Executive Producer, most of the plots are just jokes. For example, after the hijackers intentionally give the serious and unpredicted attack to both the economy system and the human lives of the U.S, South Park products one video which points that the U.S government is the actual assassin behind the scenes. It mentions that the U.S wanted to gain the support from other countries to assault the Iraq in order to get the benefit form the territory of Iraq. The purpose to do the secret conspiracy was due to the plenty oil and the market development. This show performs totally against to the truth. The creators satirize the government and the celebrities by portraying them as a group of insidious people. The dark humor is full of all the violent action and curing conversation in the carton in order to reflect the problem of society.
Overall, the purpose of the creators to make the film such like the South Park is to grab audience attention. Since the producers realize that everyone is interested in celebrities’ lives, they focus on the privacy of celebrities and make fun of them. By this point, they effetely advertise the show and make people pay attention to it. After the show achieves its first goal, grabbing people’s attention, it stars to develop more and more surprising topics which are focus on the social problem. Even most of the way the show represents is inappropriate, yet it gives the audience an opportunity to think about the problem of our environment. We can not deny all the issue that has shown in the South Park. Like the Exposes the 9/11 Hoax episode of South Park, it is true that the U.S government actually expects the natural resource form the territories of Iraq. It is also true that the U.S is trying to keep the power of the world, yet in an appropriate way. So even though the South Park is not a honor TV show, it actually provides he audience some subject to talk about.
Since the South Park always involves violent trouble and an inappropriate solution to solve the problem, it is definitely an unwelcome TV show for most of young people. Children who see the South Park as an entertainment will somehow imitate the characters. It not only influences the young’s personality but also the entire society indirectly. Also, children are too young to distinguish the truth and the false of the show. They might believe whatever information the South Park had provided to them and being misleading by the show. Parents would rather let their children to see The Simpson than the South Park since there is less violence and curing conversation. Even though the show is designed to reflect the problem of society, yet it also creates social problem at the same time.
South Park has the most extreme evaluation from the audience. Although there are so many inappropriate plots in the show, many people are still attracted by the humor in the show. Since it is impossible to use the political power to forbid the South Park, the associable department should at least move the time of the show to later at night in order to prevent young kids to watch it. Reducing the show time can help preventing kids to watch too. Also, some of the website such like Youtube should have sensor on the video which is inappropriate for younger children. After all children is the foundation of the country, we do not want any kind of inapposite media lead them to a wrong direction. Only if people prevent the inapt show from kids, our society can become a better world.
