Essay 18: Nowadays, there is a trend that reports of media focus on problems

and emergencies rather than positive development. Some people think it is

harmful to individuals and to society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

ThuyLinh

It is true that media reports have played an important part in human life these days.
Some people think that reports of media focus more on problems and emergencies
than positive developments has many negative effects on both individuals and
society. In my opinion, the advantages of this trend outweigh its disadvantages.

There is no denying that reports of bad news and pressing issues can bring a number
of benefits. Reports on emergencies or problems give people a real sense of dangers
and threats in their local areas and around the world, as well. When people can be
aware fully of happenings that occurred in society, they can avoid troubles that are
possibly predicted. For example, during the Covid-19 pandemic, citizens need to
update information about the spread of viruses constantly to take necessary
measures in advance to keep them safe in the pandemic. Besides, the warning of
some natural disasters such as earthquakes, storms, and hurricanes in media reports
is indispensable to people to positively protect their life and property or evacuate if
necessary. In addition, worldwide problems such as environmental pollution or
economic crisis should be focused on because dealing with these issues is the
responsibility of both government and inhabitants and people need to take certain
measures to improve their living conditions.

reporting critical and urgent issues can help to generate/garner attention from different
people all over the world, which can of great benefit to dealing with such problems.

On the other hand, focusing totally on negative news exerts a negative effect on both
individuals and society. People watching reports on emergencies and problems too
much can live in fear and panic of danger, which is harmful to their mental health.
Besides, people usually have difficulty in accessing verified information because some
means of media are willing to exaggerate real information to draw the public's
attention so that they can make a higher profit.
 In conclusion, reports of media concentrating on emergencies and problems
have/exert both positive and negative effects on both citizens and society.

These days, media is focusing primarily on issues and emergencies in place of the
developments which are supposed to better the life of people. However, it is argued
that the focus on bad news has various negative impacts on people and society. From
my perspective, the media should always be responsible for ensuringa balanced
coverage of both bad and good news in their reports.

On the one hand, some people think that there are some benefits of posting social
problems on the media. First, the more emergencies and negative information shown
on television or the internet, the more people track down and know about current
negative issues and they can prevent these situations. Moreover, reporting many
serious accidents is an effective way to raise people's awareness about their safety.
For example, in my local TV channel there is one programme which is named "VOV"
and it often demonstrates traffic jams or accidents. As a result, people will be more
careful when they are driving.

On the other hand, privatisation has reduced the reliability of information

communicated by the media. Some news channels have been taken over by
politicians and corporates. As a result, the information shown on these channels is
more politically centred involving criminal activities and fights and arguments between
the parties. This kind of activities adversely affects people's mental level and even
makes them scared and live in full of panic. Furthermore, violence and crime-involving
activities might have a negative influence on youngsters. As they usually find these
type of news attractive and amusing, and it is easy for them to get involved in such
activities.

In conclusion, negative news and emergencies should be reduced by social media

and I think that it would be more beneficial if they show good news and inspirational
programmes.
Minh Hieu

Nowadays, it has become widely acknowledged that negative news like problems and
emergencies are often covered by the media. I believe that this trend brings both
benefits and disadvantages to individuals and society but the detrimental effects it
exerts certainly outweigh the positive one.

On the one hand, it is undeniable that this trend has some benefits. First, that news
media often cover emergencies will help save lives and reduce damage in case of
natural disasters. The media often covers news on natural disasters like earthquakes
and storms which help people know how to protect their property and stay safe. For
example, when there is a storm, people are often given vital information through
media like the location of the storm, its path and its strength. Second, a focus on bad
news might help many people as it raises awareness among people. When reading
about news on crimes, people will be frightened but at the same time they will be
more cautious. In addition, reports about traffic accidents help people know the
consequences of driving carelessly and as a result, they will be ready to obey traffic
regulations and rules.

coverage of imminent/forthcoming natural disasters can help people to ….

On the other hand, excessive coverage of bad news in the media certainly has
negative impacts on society. The media is often known for exaggerating the real
threat of the problems to draw attention and get higher profit from advertisements.
This will cause panic and fear among people. Additionally, people tend to develop a
pessimistic view on something if they hear bad news about it. for example Therefore,
excessive coverage of negative news will make them have a pessimistic feeling
toward life.
In conclusion, the focus on bad news on many means of media should be avoided as
it has a number of detriments, negatively affecting society.

Tam Anh

Nowadays, the articles of the media emphasize problems and pressing news rather
than positive ones and several people believe that this tendency is detrimental to both
individuals and society. In my opinion, while it has some advantages, the downside
overshadows the upside.

On the one hand, it is true that the focus of media on problems and emergencies can
have some positive impacts. Firstly, it can help raise people’s awareness of alarming
issues. The more negative the news is, the more likely individuals are to be aware of
these problems and take steps to address them. For example, these days, news helps
people be conscious of how serious the COVID-19 pandemic is and then they will
comply with the epidemic prevention requirements to protect their health. Additionally,
during natural catastrophes like floods or earthquakes, reporting about emergencies
can save lives and decrease damage by delivering real-time urgent news and
notifications. Besides, because natural disasters cause a lot of consequences such as
houses being washed away, lack of food and clean water sources, the coverage of
such events can garner widespread and timely support for people in affected areas.

On the other hand, the news filled with social issues has some adverse impacts on
individuals and society. Firstly, it can cause prejudices and misconceptions about
certain groups of people. For example, there are many media reports giving
misleading information about HIV disease and people infected with HIV/AIDS, causing
a lot of people to think that when they come into contact with those people, they will
also get infected. This is likely to cause stigma and discrimination against HIV
patients. In addition, focusing on emergency news also can lead to anti-government
protests. In Thailand, after a mass of news articles about the country's worst ever
wave of COVID-19 and the economic crisis, which caused a high rate of
unemployment, thousands of people lost faith in the authorities and decided to protest
to demand the dissolution of the government.
In conclusion, while news on social problems and emergencies has some benefits, I
would contend that its advantages are outweighed by the drawbacks.

Tram Vu

As society progresses, there exists a tendency among social media platforms to shift
their focal points from positive development to burning issues. Whereas a segment of
society opines that such trend would take a toll on both people and society, others
seem to be on the disapproval side. I personally tend towards the latter for reasons as
follows.

A compelling reason for the media's emphasis on existing problems is that it will
augment individual and societal development. Firstly, exposed to burning
emergencies, people's awareness of their surroundings is to be heightened. In fact,
being the main sources of information, media reports are able to inform the public with
honest news about social issues. Given such awakenings, individuals are likely to
furnish themselves with in-depth knowledge as well as essential skills with a view to
overcoming these situations. This will ultimately lead to personal development.
Secondly, with emergencies being the focal point of the mass media, social problems
will be addressed. When emergencies like flooding and famine reach the public, their
empathy and mutual care may be nurtured. People, therefore, will have a sense of
responsibility to lend their voice and help to alleviate these burdens. Thus, joint efforts
will be invested, which is the main contributor to eradicating social issues. For
instance, people who have fallen below the poverty line amid the Covid 19 pandemic
attracted great public attention after the national television broadcaster had
spotlighted them. As a result, funds are raised by benefactors and volunteers who are
willing to relieve the poverty-stricken's stress. Given these points, it is undeniable that
focusing on social ills can bring about a myriad of benefits to not only individuals but
society as well.

Some people would argue that such tendency can trigger adverse impacts as it puts
immense pressure and stress on the individuals, thereby hindering their will to better
society. However, this point barely stands to reason. First, being regulated by national
laws of broadcasting, the amount of negative information that reaches people would
be under constant control. Furthermore, should the media exacerbate social issues
with a profit-driven aim, such misleading news is likely to be censored. Hence, it is
apparent that public distress stands little chance to emerge. In addition, even if this
trend engenders negative reactions among the audience, people are given the chance
to appreciate their favorable conditions. This is equal to a powerful incentive that will
ultimately be the driving force for people to invest in the development of the
community. Consequently, not only are people's personal growth but also societal
progress be guaranteed.

In conclusion, I stand my ground that the media's focusing on the critical problems
among society can bring about a wealth of benefits. Therefore, it is advisable that
viewers select honest and transparent media reports in their own interest.

Reports of media are leaning towards drawing attention to covering issues and
emergencies instead of positive proliferationchanges/events/news (trongngữ cảnh này
thì từ “development” ko mang nghĩa “proliferation” nhe). Some people hold that this
trend is detrimental to people and society. To my mind, I partially disagree with this
opinion because the benefits of this tendency would outweigh its demerits.

On the one hand, the concentration on problems and emergencies of reports could
exert negative effects to a certain extent. First of all, it might engender a state of
anxiety among people. Focusing too much on negative issues and bypassing positive
development is likely to drive people to feel nervous about the condition of their
localities and countries, leading to demonstrations and disturbances. Moreover, if not
carefully supervised, these reports would result in misunderstanding and cast
aspersions on the reputation of many firms. Nowadays, some shops abuse media to
attack their competitors without any grounds and cause boycotting with regard to
these firms.

On the other hand, media’s relentless reports of media’s drawing attention to on

problems and emergencies also create some benefits. In the first place, it would play
an important role in increasing awareness of people. For example, news about climate
change is becoming widespread thanks to media, which may help individuals become
more aware of the environment and take measures to prevent this issue from being
exacerbated exacerbating. Furthermore, the concentration on problems might put
pressure on governments to take actions more quickly. Nowadays, there exist many
issues which could usually be overlooked by authorities. Ergo, under the pressure of
media, they have to tackle these problems rapidly to stabilize society and avoid
causing protests among people.
In conclusion, despite certain drawbacks, the focus on problems and emergencies of
reports of media would offer significant benefits merits to individuals and society.

Opinions are divided whether that the focus of media reports have a tendency to on
concentrate on social issues and emergencies more than instead of positive changes
is harmful to our society or not. In my opinion, the negative impacts of this tendency
outweigh the positive ones.

It is apparent that the constant coverage of problems and crises reported on the
media may be advantageous in some ways. Firstly, it helps people stay updated on
the latest news about social matters since many issues and emergencies are
happening every day in the world. Secondly, bad news may raise people’s awareness
and make them more cautious. For example, when reading about violent criminals,
people may be worried, however, at the same time, they would be more careful when
going out.

On the other hand, the overwhelming reporting of issues and emergencies on the
media can exert negative impacts on both our society and individuals. Firstly,
excessive too much bad news can make individuals lose faith in their authorities since
they think their government cannot address the problems. Secondly, the lack of media
reports on positive development can affect our mental health by causing social
anxiety, stress, or even depression. To illustrate, when reading too much bad
relentless bad news, people tend to be pessimistic or melancholy about life and they
can even unintentionally neglect the good ones. Also, the great frequency of socialthe
consumption oftoo much negative issues news, particularly news about crimes may
influence some individuals totempt some impressionable people into committing
similar wrongdoings.do crimes since they know the process to do it. Consequently,
the rate of crime and violence may increase.

In conclusion, while that media reports media’sconcentration concentrate on problems

and emergencies more than rather than positive development may be advantageous
in some way, however, I still hold the belief that this trend can do more harm than
good to our society.

NhatLinh

Some people hold the belief that the growing dominance of topics related to burning
issues and serious situations in the news media can be detrimental to people and
society. While this viewpoint is justifiable to some extent, I believe that these reports
may be of great advantage.

On the one hand, there exist several drawbacks of the media focus on problems
media’s concentration on problems can have several drawbacks. To commence with,
it could pose a threat to people’s mindset. When being exposed to scores of reports
on pressing matters, people may potentially hold a pessimistic view of the world
around them. They are likely to be more concerned with threats or vulnerabilities while
overlooking beneficial aspects of life. Also, reports on matters and states of
emergency can result in political unrest. This is because citizens may assume that
authorities cannot take control over serious matters and let them happen. Therefore,
anti-government demonstrations or rioting could be held.

On the other hand, the media focus on extreme events might offer numerous benefits
to individuals and society. First, this phenomenon can instill a sense of caution in
people. If serious problems are frequently discussed in the media, individuals could be
alerted to potential hazards, thus allowing them to discover the most effective way to
reduce the risks. For instance, by reading articles about illegal acts, people may equip
themselves with self-defense items or not bring along any valuables so that robbers
cannot harm them. Secondly, burning issues dominating the news the dominance of
bad news on mass media enables people to accumulate experience from these
pieces of news and knowledge which is of great benefit to them. For example, during
the Covid 19 pandemic, the world has witnessed a considerable rise in the number of
cases and deaths while governments have also adopted policies on the situation. As a
result, people could learn how to protect themselves against the virus through updates
on media channels.

In conclusion, I believe that the wide coverage of problems and emergencies on the
news may have bring various drawbacks, yet it still benefits people and society to a
certain degree.

In recent years, it has been common that the media tend to cover emergencies and
crises instead of positive aspects of life. While some people concur that it is
detrimental for both individuals and society, I would believe that it brings about both
both positive and negative effects. double-edged effectiveness.

On the one hand, it is undeniable that the dominance of bad news on media plays a
vital role in our life can be greatly advantagous. First of all, the urgent news can
reduce the loss of life and damages from natural catastrophes such as earthquakes,
tsunamis and storms. It educates the public about disasters and warns them of
hazards. To be specific, people from everywhere may access the latest news on
emergencies. Thus, they can follow specialists’ advice and take the next right
precautions actions. For example, the forecast of an impending storm can urge
fishermen and sailors caught in the storm can be guidedbe of great benefit for people
to prepare for it with a view to minimizing the potential damage. how to protect
themselves via radio. Additionally, the media greatly contributes to keeping our
society safe. When journalists report on crime and crime victims in the media, people
could know the punishment and be well aware of protecting themselves. Public
punishment is also an effective deterrence to crime, thereby warning people against
taking any illicit ations and decelerating the number of criminals in society. Moreover,
the media helps people acknowledge their rights and responsibilities. For instance,
the popularity of reports of the media can provide citizens information about fugitives
(chưa rõ ràng) so that they can join hands with the government in devoting
themselves to their country.

On the other hand, the disadvantages that the dominance of bad news on media
brings about should notcannot be ignored. First and foremost, criseis reported on the
media can be one of reasons behind the proliferation of murders in recent years. The
young and people having mental health can easily be negatively affected by details of
the murder on the media, which leads to the consequence that they are
unintentionally learn and practice them in real life. It is reported that there isare an
increase of over 10% murders caused by people who are negatively affected by
media. Moreover, because people from all over the world can access information in
other countries, bad news may have adverse effect on foreigners’ outlooks, thereby
hindering the development of tourism around the world.

In conclusion, I am of the opinion that focusing media’s focus on problems and

emergencies rather than positive news on the media could bring both pros and cons.

Over the past few decades, the majority of news media have tended to be covered
byIt is true that reports on media today are predominantly negative news rather than
the negative development of the society instead of the positive onepositive changes or
events. Some people hold the belief that this trend can exert a number of adverse
impacts on humans. From my perspective, I am inclined to this viewpoint, and I would
contend that medianews coverage should be a be a balance of both good and bad
news.

There are numerous compelling reasons why reporters of the media should not
heavily focus on the bad newsThere is no denying that the dominance of bad news on
media can lead to serious repercussions. Firstly, negative news can be the reference
for people when they want to commit a crime. As the negative news about misconduct
frequently provides detailed description in terms of the process to break the law,
people tend to follow the explained procedure written on the news when committing
an offense. Furthermore, negative news these days is not always reported as
truthfully and accurately as they should be. A host of pieces of news have been found
to be significantly misleading since the reporters want to raise the interest of the public
in the bad news. To illustrate, coverage of certain events and incidents may include
blatant lies or unfounded claims, preventing readers from accessing the truth. (then,
what is the consequence of this?)

It would be plausible to argue that the news should be a balance of negative and
positive news. To begin with, despite some above-mentioned downsides, bad news
still has its own merits. Information about the negative development of the society can
serve as an alert informing humans about the possible problems thatey can occur in
due course and ways to steer away from them. On the other hand, good news also
has its own weight. News about good things happening in life can create a positive
vibe among the public as well as encourage readers to try making greater
contributions to society. As viewers are easily affected and motivated when reading
good news, reporters should focus more on positive news to form a better society.

In conclusion, due to some adverse effects that focusing heavilythe focus on bad
news can bring about, I firmly believe that the media news should be a balance of
both good and bad news.

It is indisputable that these days, news related to problems and emergencies has
become prevalent on mediaincreased. Besides, Ssome people consider view it this as
detrimental to individuals and society. Personally, I strongly believe that it is a
negative trend.the dominance of bad news on media can have numerous harmful
effects.

On the one hand, concentrating on problems or emergencies articles may be helpful

to some extent. To begin with, being exposed to bad news may raise people’s
awareness and vigilance about social problems such as crimes or pandemics. For
example, when people read news about recent increasing robberies, they can be wary
of their house's security, avoiding burglars breaking in. Moreover, through badthis
news, governments and local governments are urged to devise realistic and timely
solutions to the reported significant challenges in order to limit the negative impacts,
which helps to better people’s life. .

On the other hand, releasing too many negative articlesexcessive reports of negative
events may have more drawbacks than benefits. On thean personalindividual level, it
causesprovides impediments to building harmonious relationships betweenwith
people in society. To be more specific, humans have a tendency to be influenced
psychologically by information that makes a strong impression on them.
Moreover, when people prioritise negative over positive news content, it allows
journalists to misrepresent information in order to generate sensational articles
that will pique readers' interests. (Hậu quả chưa rõ ràng) Last but not least, thea
focus on bad news on media might cause political upheaval. This is because citizens
may blame the government for bad judgments, and as a result, they may lose trust in
their country and there may be more riots against the authorities.

In conclusion, the coverage of articles focusing on problems and emergencies is not

denied. While this tendency may have advantageous aspects in some ways, it still has
more detrimental effects on individuals and society as a whole.

It is truepopular that today, media reports often have a tendency to concentrate on issues
and emergencies. Some people believe it has negative consequences forto individuals and
society. Although this trend may be positive, I believe thatthink its negative influences are
more significant.
On the one hand, a media report focusing on problems and emergencies media’s focus on
bad news rather than positive developments may be useful. Firstly, when reporting on natural
disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, the media can help to minimize injury and
damage. For example, people in danger will seek safe shelter or alert others if they learn of
an emergency involving them through media reporting. Secondly, reporting of catastrophic
traffic accidents in the mass media is also an effective waytechnique to raise public
awareness ofabout the importance of obeying traffic laws to ensure the need of road safety.
For example, when people see accidents that have happened recently, they will be more
careful to prevent them from happening.

On the other hand, this trendthe dominance of bad news on media can exertmake a lot of
detrimental effects for some reasons. To begin with, while reporting on good improvements
might help people broaden their horizons, focusing on bad news and issues can negatively
affect people's mindsmental health. For instance, when they heard through a media
representative that there was a killer roaming the area, many people near my house began to
overreact and get fearful. Moreover, when children often see media reports about the
barbaric acts of a murderer or killer, they will begin to move towards a tendency to
violencesome of them may be tempted to get involved in such crime. To be specific, if a child
hears the news or reads articles about terrorism or violent crimes on a daily basis, they are
more likely to frighten and bully other children..

In conclusion, although while the concentration on reports about problems and emergencies
on media may be helpful in our life, I would contend thatstill think its adverse impacts are
more glaring.it can bring some negative consequences.

Uyen
Noticeably, news reports in the media have a tendency to highlight unfortunate events
rather than optimistic aspects of society and a segment of society opines that this
trend would prove detrimental to people in the society. Nevertheless, from my
perspective, this tendency boasts merits that would outweigh the disadvantages.

Irrefutably, the emphasis of news releases on pessimistic incidents could exert

several negative impacts on news viewers and the society. Needless to say, a
person’s mentality is worsened when he is constantly exposed to negative news. The
reports on crimes, accidents, warfare and multitudinous depressing facets of society
engender internal fear within the citizens, which creates a pessimistic outlook on life.
Those who are overly stressed out about their life security might even resort to
migration as a means of seeking peace of mind. Furthermore, the image of one’s
country might be tarnished should reports on the country’s state of affairs be
predominantly discouraging. Individuals intending to move to one nation could give up
their intention when they feel insecure about life there, which means the preclusion of
a potentially competent labor force or loss of revenue from potential tourists..

Nevertheless, the highlighting of emergencies and accidents could be extremely

beneficial to individuals. First of all, people’s awareness of societal situations could be
leveraged by pessimistic news reports. Undeniably, accidents and emergencies are
discouraging and fearful. However, individuals would then figure out protection
methods to avoid such unfortunate incidents. As a salient example, during the Covid-
19 pandemic, reports on surging death cases prompted people to conform to
protection methods to prevent the spread of the disease. Moreover, such negative
news might be able to gain attraction for the people in need. News releases could
assist charitable organizations in raising funds for the needy when making the
unfortunate events known via the media. For instance, when dwellers’ life in the
center of Vietnam was devastated due to intense flooding, articles on the natural
disaster gained national imagination and people in need received countrywide aid.

In conclusion, while emphasis on bad news could be somewhat disadvantageous, its

benefits are more remarkable.

These days, there are a lot of media companies thatmedia have a tendency to focus
only on issues and emergencies and do not talk much aboutrather than positive
development. Many people believe that this trendit is harmful to people as well as
society. In my opinion, I agree with this argument for the serious consequences that
the dominance of bad news on media can lead to..

To begin with, media’s focus on negative events newspapers or media are playing
ancan be of great benefit to people important role in bringing information to people.
The media provides information, developments of events taking place around the
world. Moreover, it also helps people perceive more things. In addition, transmitting
urgent or important information from anywhere in the world will help us quickly find the
cause (cause của cái gì em?) and offer many solutions to overcomesuch problems.
For example, during the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the press and many media play a
significant role in communicating information about the epidemic to everyone.
Thereforenceforth, people are also more conscious of protecting their own health after
listening to many advices from other patients.

On the other hand, putting information the excessive coverage of bad news on the
media also has many limitations. Firstly, watching a lot of bad news will affect people's
thinking and people will lose trust in each other. Especially childrenImpressionable
children they will thinkmay even think differently about society and different way of life

in that country.

In conclusion, while media companies publish more urgent information than

drawbacks are significantly more.
Essay 18: Nowadays, there is a trend that reports of media focus on problems
and emergencies rather than positive development. Some people think it is
harmful to individuals and to society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With the proliferation of media platforms, people all over the world are being
inundated with news coverage of current affairs every day. However, it is true that
such information is predominantly negative. In my opinion, the tendency for the media
to concentrate on bad news can have harmful consequences for each individual and
society.

On the personal level, constant exposure to negative news can have certain adverse
effects. Firstly, it can wreak havoc on our mental health. Learning about bad things
like the exponentially increasing numbers of Covid-19 cases in many countries or
awful natural disasters can put people in a sombre mood in which they feel distressed
and worried about similar catastrophic incidents happening to them. A relentless flow
of such negative news would inevitably aggravate their personal worries, engendering
the development of severe conditions like depression or over-anxiety. Secondly,
excessive bad news consumption could stop people from experiencing new things.
This is because of the unfounded fears fuelled by recurrent exposure to negative
media coverage. For instance, news about plane crashes may discourage some
people from travelling by air for fear of becoming victims of such accidents. This
means that they will miss opportunities to explore numerous exotic locations of the
world as well as broadening their horizon.

On the societal level, bad news can also have serious repercussions. For one, in
some cases, negative media reports may impede efforts to ensure the safety of the
whole society. For example, death cases from Covid-19 vaccines, though extremely
rare, reported on mass media have sparked grave concerns among a significant
number of people and deterred them from getting inoculated. Such vaccine avoidance
and hesitancy make it difficult to contain the spread of the coronavirus and free
human society from its dangers. In addition, needy and poor people may suffer
severely due to bad news. While media coverage of unlucky fates or natural
calamities may help garner timely support for sufferers, reports of charity fraud – the
act of raising money but not using it for the intended purpose of helping the
disadvantaged - can generate outrage and therefore lower the public’s commitment
and contribution to charitable activities.

In conclusion, there is no denying that bad news reports help people be alert to
impending unfortunate incidents. However, to some extent, the inundation of such
negative coverage on media channels can also be detrimental.
