Lifestyle of people is the one which has been highly influenced by the media
like inclusion of fast foods in the food habits, changing pattern of clothing
and dressing in all, housing or home designing has also been affected. It has
also led to increase in comforts of daily life. Materialistic aspects of lifestyle
have been influenced to a higher extent e.g. use of dining table for meals.
Media has also affected the pattern of higher education, women education
and hence resulted in women empowerment. Social advertising has also led
to change many social practices; some of them are female foeticide, child
labor, caste system etc
Not only health sector also banking and insurance has witnessed changes,
media has spread the concept of savings and insurance. Also it has spread
awareness about Human and consumer rights and has helped to curb the
social evils like corruption, bribery, dowry etc.
Change in media technology has changed the scenario earlier there used to
be monopoly but now there are varied numbers of channels, also the
possession of media source per household has increased. Changing scenario
has resulted in more job opportunities which further lead to rural to urban
migration of population and globalization.
Thus a lot of changes have been brought about by media some on small
scale and some on large scale.
