Influence of Media upon Young People's Sexual Concept

To be frank, sex is such a great and hot topic that people ague and is interested in during the busy and changeable world. And of course it is really easy to find out the sexual information in our everyday life. Where does the sexual information exist on earth? How can you get such information without so much effort? And why are there many sexual problems among the young people? However, there is a clear but complex reason that is the power of the great media.
As we all know, TV, radio, newspaper, magazines, Internet and advertisement, such main active parts of the modern media have permeated to almost every fields of people’s life. One cannot study, work and even live without the help of the media now. As a result, people’s behaviors, customs and minds were unconsciously influenced and changed by the media, which exists everywhere.
It is said that, the pressure put on young people, especially on young girls through ads, television, film and new media to be sexually attractive and sexually active is profound. These days I have had some research that is about the influence of media on the Internet. The National Eating Disorders Association reports that one out of four TV commercials send some kind of "attractiveness message," telling viewers what is and is not attractive. The young Now reports that 38 per cent of the female characters in video games are scantily clad, 23 per cent baring breasts or cleavage, 31 per cent exposing thighs, another 31 per cent exposing stomachs or midriffs, and 15 per cent baring their behinds. What is attractive? What is sexy? The young had told us what they are in their mind.
