----Thesis

Many could argue that when a News station or Radio station reports a story on negative behavior (such as homicide or suicide), a person could instead of taking in the news story as information, could imitate or copycat the same issue. So instead of the media continuously approaching the public with a story that could boost their ratings, they are responsible for fueling the fire that brings so much more stress into our lives.

Goals!

First of all, i need to dedicate some time to write, like 45 minutes a day or something. Then I need to find better sources to help support my argument because a lot of my sources are relatively "dull". But most importantly, I have to have a paper ready in less than five days.//// Better start now.

November's First Blog

Mass Media and the Effects on Depressive Patients
A Team of 10 Educated Asians The influence of media reporting of a celebrity suicide on suicidal behavior in patients with a history of depressive disorder. http://www.sciencedirect.com January 2007

This study has provided more convincing evidence suggesting negative influences of media reporting of a celebrity suicide on subsequent suicidal behaviors among depressive patients. After a widely known pop singer commits suicide in Hong Kong, a team of scientists investigate the behavior of depressive patients to see how the celebrity suicide has impacted their own thoughts on suicide. The report was made less than a year ago and it seems to fit in well with my theory of how the media can cause of suicides or other behavior disorders.
