Such studies have brought to light the existence of a communication network of interconnected individuals. This is in contrast to the concept of a mass of disconnected individuals each in direct contact with the media. Of key importance here are the opinion leaders, who are particularly exposed to mass media, and who act as intermediaries.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The number of empirical studies has attempted to assess the impact of the mass media. A substantial volume of research has concentrated on the effects of television. It is clear from this that both the consumption of television and its impact is heavily patterned, and that &#8216;the level and direction of consumption varies sharply with age, sex, intelligence, education social class, parental habits and social relations. The effect of television depends on these variables. We must get away from the habit of thinking in terms of what people do with television and substitute for it the idea of what people do with television&#8217; The impact of television on leisure, for example, depends to a considerable extent on what people did with their time before they had TV. Himmelweit has noted what she calls a &#8216;displacement effect&#8217;; television viewing replaces comparable activities such as reading comics, cinema visits and radio listening. On the other hand, it has little effect on reading books, and sports activities.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Such researches have been stimulated largely by a growing public anxiety about the effect of the mass media and especially television which penetrates the home with an immediacy and potential power far greater than other forms. Lazarsfield and Merton have identified four main kinds of anxiety. Firstly, there is alarm at the potency of the media to manipulate the individual and his powerlessness in the face of such a threat. Secondly, there is the fear that economic interest groups may use the media to minimize social criticism and ensure conformity to the economic status quo. Thirdly, there is anxiety lest a desire to attract mass audiences causes deterioration in cultural standards. And finally, there is the fear that the media are producing passivity, dependency and escapism.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The evidence is somewhat complex. Many individuals with anxiety tendencies do seek fantasy and escape, and for these, television meets a need, and probably reinforces their escapist tendencies. Himmelweit, Oppenheim and Vince have not found evidence that TV makes children passive. But Belson discovered that television reduced the activities and initiative of viewers. Lazarsfield and Merton in America, however, argue that television does have a narcotic effect, and that &#8216;the commercially-sponsored mass media indirectly but effectively restrain the cogent development of a genuinely critical outlook&#8217;. There is little doubt that violence on TV does not have the cathartic effect frequently claimed for it by reducing aggression vicariously. On the contrary, such material would appear to be especially dangerous for delinquents for whom such characters have been found to provide heroes, and models for action, while heavy exposure to violence on the screen heightens the possibility that someone will behave aggressively.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The long-term effect on tastes and interests is more difficult to discover. Himmelweit found that when there was only one channel, television did extend tastes, but with the opportunity for selective viewing offered by a second channel, there was a marked narrowing of tastes and preferences. American studies have similarly found evidence for a hardening of taste at a level which reflects its own search for a common denominator of taste. Himmelweit found that it widened tastes only for the bright ten and eleven years old, and for the average thirteen and fourteen years old.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The effects of television though significant and important, do not appear to be dramatic. But it is difficult to come to any firm conclusions from the available evidence of its cumulative and long term effects. The fact that the impact of television in a three-week election campaign is slight does not rule out the possibility that it may have more marked effects on political attitudes over a greater length of time. More research will be needed before this can be judged with any degree of certainty.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The influence of the Press is difficult to assess on the available evidence. The reports of 1949 and 1962 concluded that the popular press and on occasion, the quality press, fell short of the highest standards and were guilty of excessive partisanship, distortion, triviality and sensationalism. But the complex nature of the communication process does not enable conclusions to be drawn based simply on the content of communication. However, the 1949 report concluded that with few exceptions, newspapers &#8216;fail to supply the electorate with adequate materials for sound political judgment. The fact that collectively the Press represents the whole spectrum of political opinion does little to help the average reader who is not in a position to perform the very complex task of comparing a number of partial and distorted accounts in order to extract an unbiased conclusion. The most probable result is that in those areas where the reader has direct experience, the Press is unlikely to have a major influence. But where he relies almost entirely on the Press, its distortions could have more significant effect.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">Questions:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">Find a suitable title for this passage and give reasons to justify the suitability.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li>\n<div><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">(i) What according to the passage determines the effect of television consumption?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">(ii) State the growing public worries about the impact of the mass media as spelt in the passage.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">What according to research reports in the passage are the negative effects of mass media on people?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li>\n<div><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">Explain the following words and expressions as used in the passage.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">act  as intermediaries<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">empirical studies<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">variables<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">public anxiety<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">appear to be dramatic<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">political attitudes<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">triviality and sensationalism<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">whole spectrum.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\"><strong>SECTION II<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0But someone was knocking at the door to my room.
