NCERT Class 7 Civics: Chapter 6, Question Exercise Q.2
You have read about the ways in which the media ‘sets the agenda’. What kind of effect does this have in a democracy? Provide two examples to support your point of view.
Effect of this agenda in a democracy:
(i) It influences the thoughts, feelings and actions of the people.
(ii) It brings attention of the people to the various issues of the people.
(iii) Somehow, it has influence in our lives and in shaping our thoughts and thus sets the agenda.
Two examples in support:
(i) The media drew our attention to alarming levels of pesticides in cola drinks. They published reports that indicated the high level of pesticides and thus made us aware of the need to regularly monitor these colas according to international quality and safety standards.
(ii) It published the news of the mass numbers of suicide committed by the farmers which leads to large scale movement and people support and thus forced the government to look further on this issues.
