Alright, so I have a question that needs a quick answer... Need to write a 750 - 1000 word essay for university, and my topic was What role(s) should media serve other than to entertain... I've come up with influence / persuade people, which relates to buying a particular product over another, and public service announcements about say smoking and bad things. I've also come up with to inform / educate people, things like the news tell stories of good / bad things, and can have educational stories about familes, doctors and other things... Problem is I need 3 arguements, and I can only think of these 2... Help would be appreciated. Thanks. My third arguement will be it connects the world, as the world has become a global village because of internet and other things.
