The American Media and It's Effects

     The problem with American media is that the majority of it has no intellectual value and is literally dumbing down our society.  The group of people who are effected most are the younger generation of American who live in the media.  Parents who do not monitor or regulate what their children are watching can be considered to be one of the problems behind this issue.  Many people have tried to suggest things that parents should do to keep their children from watching media that is not suitable for their age such as parental control on televisions. Because of the freedoms we have in America people are not forced to do this so most don't.  In the future if the  American media does not improve its overall content out nation will continue to fall behind other contries as far as intellect goes.
