Unethical Media In Social Media

Unethical Media in social Media

Unethical media is a big problem nowadays and it should be solved, it is morally wrong, against accepted standards of behavior. Ethics is the way people behave based on how their beliefs about what right and wrong influence behavior. Ethics is defined as the analysis, promotion and evaluation of what establishes virtuous character and correct conduct according to the best principles available. Ethics doesn 't ask simply the way to live in a good manner. It asks how one must live well in an ethical manner, i.e., in goodness as well as in the right relation amongst one other, a task which might necessitate us to sacrifice personal benefits, in carrying out duties or in enduring persecution.

In addition, it causes estimates of the expansion of more unusual and unethical sexual behaviors, less expectation of sexual exclusivity with partners, less concern about sexual child abuse, and concern about that sexual inactivity leads to a health risk.

Exposure to media violence was found to significantly increase viewers ' offensive behavior when the findings were aggregated across studies, but the effect was not uniform across investigations.
The most negative effects of violent media content can be seen on children. It is argued that children tend to imitate the violence they watch on television, a process explained by social learning theory, which is a well-established approach in social psychology. (Felson 1996).
Social learning theory suggests that individuals learn by observation in social situations, and that they tend to act like those they observe even without external incentives. Given the fact that the media institutions use sexuality and violence as a marketing instrument in order to attract more viewers or consumers, it means that the media companies are trying to market themselves or their products at the expense of ignoring business
