Today, information gives unprecedented success or mercilessly destroys, and the one who owns it, owns the world. It is difficult to argue with the fact that the influence of the media on modern society radically different from past centuries. Newspapers, magazines, radio and television can impose definite opinion and even behavior patterns.
A colorful example can be printed editions of the past Soviet era when editorials, public debunkings and revelations were a huge success and were fatal to those who were ridiculed in the pages of the newspaper. On the other hand, honorary participants in newspaper debates, those workers and activists who managed to get into the pages of newspapers in laudatory odes, become local or national stars.
The role of the media in human life
Speaking about the role of the media in life modern man, it is worth mentioning separately the permanent influence. Newspapers, magazines and news impose the sad events of our time, talk about fires, murders and scams, while at the same time lighter tabloid press, glossy magazines or entertainment programs are actively offered, which gradually fill the airwaves of radio and television. Involuntarily, contemporaries come to the conclusion, why read and listen to complex information when there are funny, funny and exciting articles about stars or ordinary people.
Thus, society and the media are closely interconnected, since the first gives rise to the second, and after that it cannot do without it. The primary task of the media is to cover current events, to inform the population, however, depending on the type and form of presentation of information, its role and influence may change. If negative events in our country are served against the backdrop of yet big problems in other states, traditionally their own problems are perceived easier and not so destructive. A similar principle was actively used in Soviet times.
The impact of the media on society
Can society survive without the media? Hardly. The role of the media in our lives is so great that without newspapers, magazines and television, a person will go back several years and will remain completely ignorant of the events in the world. Therefore, it is worth thinking about the influence of the media on human life, and therefore choose the highest quality means. mass media that are not influenced by external factors, such as politics, economic impact. Fortunately, from the entire array of information you can always find decent and high-quality, and from dozens of newspapers, honest and fair, in which all events are covered accurately, quickly and without bias. True, it will take a long time to look for such media, because many of them are under the direct influence of political or economic forces.
The inhuman world in which modern man lives forces everyone to wage a constant struggle with external and internal factors. What's happening around ordinary person sometimes it becomes incomprehensible and leads to a feeling of constant discomfort.
Daily sprint
Psychologists and psychiatrists of all stripes note a sharp surge in anxiety, self-doubt and great amount various phobias in an ordinary representative of our society.
The life of a modern person takes place in frantically, so time to relax and take your mind off the many domestic problems, simply no. The vicious circle, consisting of a marathon distance at a sprint speed, forces people to run a race with themselves. Intensification leads to insomnia, stress, nervous breakdowns and illnesses, which has become a fundamental trend in the post-information age.
Information pressure
The second task that modern man cannot solve is the abundance of information. The flow of various data falls on everyone simultaneously from all possible sources - the Internet, the mass media, the press. This makes it impossible critical perception, since the internal "filters" cannot cope with such pressure. As a result, the individual cannot operate real facts and data, because they are unable to separate fiction and lies from reality.
Dehumanization of relationships
A person in modern society is forced to constantly face alienation, which manifests itself not only in work, but also in interpersonal relationships.
The constant manipulation of human consciousness by the media, politicians and public institutions has led to the dehumanization of relations. The exclusion zone formed between people makes it difficult to communicate, look for friends or a soul mate, and attempts to get closer from the outside strangers very often perceived as something completely inappropriate. The third problem of the society of the 21st century - dehumanization - is reflected in popular culture, language environment and art.
Problems of social culture
The problems of modern man are inseparable from the deformations in society itself and create a vicious spiral.
The cultural ouroboros causes people to withdraw even more into themselves and move away from other individuals. A typical expression of the processes of degradation of public self-consciousness can be considered modern Art- Literature, painting, music and cinema.
Movies and books about nothing musical works without harmony and rhythm are presented as greatest achievements civilizations full of sacred knowledge and deep meaning incomprehensible to most.
Crisis of values
The value world of each particular individual can change several times in a lifetime, but in the 21st century this process has become too fast. The result of constant change is constant crises, which do not always lead to a happy ending.
The eschatological notes that slip through the term “crisis of values” do not mean a complete and absolute end, but make us think about the direction in which it is worth paving the way. Modern man is in a permanent state of crisis from the moment of growing up, because the world is changing much faster than the prevailing ideas about it.
Man in modern world forced to drag out a rather miserable existence: thoughtlessly following ideals, trends and certain styles, which leads to the impossibility of developing one's own point of view and one's position in relation to events and processes.
The ubiquitous chaos and entropy that reigns around should not be frightening or cause hysteria, since change is natural and normal if there is something unchanged.
Where and from where is the world heading?
The development of modern man and his main paths were predetermined long before our time. Culturologists name several turning points which resulted in modern society and man in the modern world.
Fallen in unequal battle under the pressure of adherents of atheology, creationism brought very unexpected results - a widespread decline in morals. Cynicism and criticism, which have become the norm of behavior and thinking since the Renaissance, are considered to be a kind of "rules good manners» for modern and sacred.
Science in itself is not the meaning of the existence of society and is not able to answer some questions. To achieve harmony and balance, adepts scientific approach it is worth being more humane, since the unresolved problems of our time cannot be described and solved as an equation with several unknowns.
The rationalization of reality sometimes does not allow seeing anything more than numbers, concepts and facts that leave no room for many important things.
Instinct vs reason
The legacy of distant and wild ancestors who once lived in caves is considered to be the main motives of society. Modern man is just as attached to biological rhythms and solar cycles as he was a million years ago. Anthropocentric civilization only creates the illusion of controlling the elements and one's own nature.
The payoff for such deceit comes in the form of personality dysfunction. It is impossible to control every element of the system always and everywhere, because even own body you can't order to stop aging or change proportions.
Scientific, political and public institutions they vied with each other about new victories, which will certainly help humanity to grow flowering gardens on distant planets. However, modern man, armed with all the achievements of the last millennium, is not able to cope with a common cold, like 100, 500 and 2000 years ago.
Who is to blame and what to do?
No one is to blame for the substitution of values, and everyone is guilty. Modern rights of a person are both observed and not observed at the same time precisely due to such a distortion - you can have an opinion, but you can’t express it, you can love something, but you can’t mention it.
The stupid Ouroboros, constantly chewing his own tail, will someday choke, and then there will be complete harmony and world peace in the Universe. However, if this does not happen in the foreseeable future, future generations will at least hope for the best.
Everyone wants to live interesting and full life: to find one's place in society, to realize oneself in a profession, one way or another to participate in public, family, household and leisure forms of life. But without good health clear mind and a positive attitude towards the world, success in life is not easy to achieve. That's why essential precondition for development different sides human life and achievement of active longevity is healthy lifestyle life.
WHO experts in the 80s of the XX century determined the approximate ratio various factors ensuring the health of modern man, highlighting four derivatives as the main ones. Subsequently, these conclusions were fundamentally confirmed in relation to our country as follows (WHO data in parentheses):
- genetic factors - 15-20% (20%)
- environmental conditions - 20 - 25% (20%)
- medical support - 10-15% (7 - 8%,)
- conditions and way of life of people - 50 - 55% (53 - 52%).
According to experts, the health of people in more It depends on the way of life and only in the last place - on health care. As the famous Russian writer L.N. Tolstoy: “Ridiculous are the demands of people who smoke, drink, overeat, do not work and turn night into day, that the doctor make them healthy (...).” Do you really cultured person a culture of health must be formed, because conscious attitude to his physical and mental well-being - this is a sign of a person responsible for the peace of his loved ones, the future of his children, and the country.
You cannot save health in parts. Health is the result well-coordinated work all systems of the body and personality. Therefore, the basic principles of maintaining a healthy lifestyle should become part of the worldview of every person.
1. Quality and diet are fundamental to health. The body gets almost everything it needs from food. nutrients which he uses for life. Nutrition should be varied, fractional and uniform (3-4 times a day, the last meal - no later than 3 hours before bedtime) correspond to a person's energy consumption and imply the use of only useful and fresh produce. It is equally important to monitor the quality drinking water. An abundance of vegetables, fruits and nuts. Scientists say that these foods should make up at least two-thirds of the diet - another way to get naturally there are enough vitamins, and there are simply no micro and macro elements.
2. Physical activity is one of essential funds health promotion. Even a small everyday 10-minute gymnastics brings great benefit. Gymnastics, athletics, outdoor games are very useful for of cardio-vascular system, lungs, strengthening the musculoskeletal system. In moments physical activation the circulation of leukocytes and antibodies that can recognize and destroy viruses and bacteria is enhanced.
3. Optimal work and sufficient rest also affect our health. Active activity, not only physical, but also mental, have a good effect on the nervous system, strengthens the heart, blood vessels and the body as a whole. Work is essential and essential part our life. It should not oppress a person, so you need to try to find a job that suits you, which will please and realize the qualities and abilities inherent in a person.
Sufficient sleep is essential for normal activities nervous system. Regular lack of sleep leads to decreased performance and severe fatigue. It is better to sleep in a well-ventilated room, and it is also advisable to go to bed at the same time.
4. It is very important to constantly harden the body, that is, to train it for a more stable transfer of temperature effects. It's not only water procedures but also rubdown, outdoor sports. A person who is engaged in hardening is less likely to get colds and other diseases, has a stronger immune system. Bath and massage procedures have a beneficial effect on the body.
5. Walk in the fresh air. Walking in nature, in the park has a positive effect on the human condition, both physically and mentally. psychologically. Fresh air combined with physical activity- an excellent tool for increasing the tone of blood vessels.
6. On physiological state human big influence renders it psycho-emotional state. Stress in our life is inevitable, a person experiences it almost every day. stress hormone cortisol, which is activated during moments of strong nervous experiences, disrupts the functions endocrine system. At the same time, the production of interferon, which is important for the quality of the immune system, changes.
What matters is how you respond to stress. You can come to nervous breakdown but you can mobilize and adapt to changing conditions. This will help simple methods: positive thinking, deep breathing, the ability to relax, not to take what is happening to heart, communication with close and understanding people.
7. Worldview healthy person rules out bad habits. Smoking and alcohol abuse bring great harm not only to people suffering from these habit-diseases, but also to those around them and to society as a whole.
It is important to understand that a healthy lifestyle is not a pill that instantly eliminates all ailments. This is the principle of life, a special worldview and everyday nice job over himself, which in the end will surely be crowned with success.

The role of the Internet in the life of a modern person hard to overestimate. Nowadays, more than 30% of the world's population uses the Internet, and this is a little bit about 1,500,000,000 people. Back in 1992, only 100 people used it. It was planned to use the Internet only for business purposes. And now? Each student, having launched a browser, can find the information he needs in a matter of minutes. About, how people spend their time online I already wrote, now not about it.
The role of the Internet in the life of modern people
The number of Internet users is growing rapidly. By 2018, the Internet will be in almost every family. Television will be a thing of the past. Through the Internet will pay utilities, ordering food at home, although, in principle, this is already possible now. And most importantly, in the future, many will do their work without leaving home, saving their time, which can be spent with loved ones. Those times are not far off.
Let me quote from the President Conde Nast Karina Dobrotvorskaya’s Russia: “Just a year ago, print journalists media talked about the Internet as a hidden threat, and all conferences about the invasion of new social media were somewhat mournful. Now the tone has changed radically. They are not talking about a threat, but about new opportunities. Discuss not death, but development. Formerly "paper soldiers" (meaning print mass-media etc.) tried to get away from online projects as additional load. Now they are afraid that they will not be given this burden. After all, this will automatically mean that they will not be taken into the future.”
Already, many central channels have been established on the Internet. In the coming years, they will stop broadcasting on cable TV and limit themselves to broadcasting on the network.
There are many media resources on the Internet where you can watch your favorite movies and series in high quality(HD). Such resources have replaced VHS cassettes and DVD discs for us, and for free. The only thing you need to pay monthly subscription fee for the internet. The prices for the tariffs are quite reasonable, and I think everyone can afford to pay for the Internet.
Internet plays huge role in life modern people Without it, it is already impossible to imagine life on Earth.
When did the Internet appear?
The official date of birth of the Internet is not indicated in any document. In every country he appeared in different time. The Internet was born in the United States in 1969. The purpose of the Internet was to provide a reliable communication channel in the event of a nuclear war.
In Russia, in 1998, a tradition was born to celebrate the birthday of the Internet in September, when one of the IT companies organized a "census of the Runet population", according to which no more than a million people had access to the Internet.
Today, according to the latest statistics, over 50 million people use the Internet in Russia. At the same time, the monthly growth of the audience is more than 20%. More than 72% of users access the Internet every day.
By 2015, Russia plans to significantly increase the level of Internet penetration, especially in remote regions. Now, Russia ranks 2-3rd in the world in terms of Internet penetration.

Today it is difficult to overestimate the importance and role of ecology both in the life of the whole society and separately in the life of each person. So the state of the planet depends both on commercial companies that produce tons of waste every year, and on an individual who enjoys the benefits of civilization.
A bit of history
Throughout known history Humanity has evolved and with it, its concepts of the surrounding world have developed. Very early, people realized that natural gifts should be used wisely, without destroying the natural balance between man and the planet.
This is confirmed by the rock paintings, which speak of a person's interest in environment.
From later data it is known that nature conservation was actively practiced in Ancient Greece where the inhabitants protected the beauty of natural forests.
Modern look
Now ecology is interpreted as a science that studies the interaction of living organisms with each other, as well as with the environment.
Any organism living on the planet is influenced by many factors: favorable and unfavorable. All these factors can be conditionally divided into two groups: biotic and abiotic. Biotic include those that come from living nature; to abiotic - those that carry inanimate nature. For example, an orchid growing on the bark of a tree is an example of symbiosis, that is biotic factor, but the direction of the wind and weather affecting these two organisms is already an abiotic factor. All this creates conditions for natural evolution living organisms on the planet.
But here comes another one important aspect that has a significant impact on the state of the environment anthropogenic factor or the human factor. Deforestation, diversion of rivers, mining and development of minerals, release of various toxins and other wastes - all this affects the environment where such impacts are made. As a result, biotic and abiotic factors in this area are subject to change, and some of them completely disappear.
In order to regulate environmental changes, scientists have deduced the main tasks that ecology must solve, namely: the development of laws for the reasonable use natural resources, relying on general principles organization of life, as well as timely decision environmental issues.
For this, environmental scientists have identified four basic laws:
- everything is connected with everything;
- nothing disappears into nowhere;
- nature knows best;
- nothing comes easy.
It would seem that compliance with all these rules should have led to a reasonable and harmonious use of natural gifts, but, unfortunately, we are seeing a different trend in the development of this area.
Why is this happening? Why does the role of ecology in the lives of many people still remain in the background? Any external problem is just a reflection human consciousness. Most do not even suspect what is hidden behind the result of their daily life.
Aspects of nature affected by the anthropogenic factor
The sharp increase in consumer lifestyle has led to the unreasonable use of natural resources. Rapid development scientific and technological progress, the large-scale growth of human agricultural activities - all this aggravated the negative impact on nature, which led to serious violation environmental situation on the entire planet. Consider the main natural aspects most prone to environmental crisis.
Air
Once on Earth there was a different atmosphere, then it happened that oxygen appeared on the planet, and after it aerobic organisms formed, that is, those that feed on this gas.
Absolutely all aerobic creatures depend on oxygen, that is, on air, and our life depends on its quality. Everyone knows from school that oxygen is produced by plants, therefore, given current trend deforestation and an active increase in the population of people, it is not difficult to guess what the destruction of the fauna leads to. But this is only one of the aspects that affect the state of the atmosphere of our planet. In reality, everything is more complicated, especially in large populated cities, where, according to medical standards, the concentration toxic substances exceeded tenfold.
Water
The next equally important aspect of our life is water. Human body consists of 60-80% water. 2/3 of the whole earth's surface is made up of water. Oceans, seas, rivers are constantly polluted by man. Every day we "kill" the world's oceans by extracting oil from offshore fields. Oil slicks threaten the lives of marine life. Not to mention the garbage islands, continuously drifting on the surface of the oceans and seas.
Fresh water most vulnerable to human ignorance. Wastewater, various toxins such as mercury, lead, pesticides, arsenic and many other "heavy" chemicals poison rivers and lakes daily.
Earth
The main foundation of life on earth is soil. It is known that in order for the Earth to be able to create one centimeter of black soil, it will take about 300 years. Today, one centimeter of such fertile soil, on average, dies in three years.
Climate
The totality of all environmental problems leads to climate deterioration. The climate can be compared to the health of the planet. When individual "organs" of the Earth suffer, then this has direct influence on the climate. For many years we have been observing various anomalies due to climate change, the causes of which are the anthropogenic factor. Human intervention in the activities of nature has led to a sharp warming or cooling in certain areas, rising sea levels due to rapid glacier melt, abnormal or no precipitation, and strong natural disasters and much more.
The main thing is not to focus on the list of problems, but to comprehend the causes of their occurrence, as well as focus on effective ways and methods for their solution.
Areas of our lives affected by the environment
What is the role of ecology in human life? As for absolutely everyone, with which we all deal every day, every second of our lives; without which life, as it is now, could not exist?
Health
Health as a constructor, from separate parts which depends on his condition as a whole. There are many such factors, the main ones are known to everyone - this is the way of life, nutrition, human activities, the people around him, as well as the environment where he lives. Ecology and human health are closely interconnected. If there are violations on one side, the other reacts accordingly.
A person living in a city is many times more likely to get any serious illness than a person living in the suburbs.
Food
When a person eats improperly, his metabolism is disturbed, which in turn leads to more serious problems with health. It is worth remembering that these violations can also affect future generations.
The main problem for human health is chemical substances, mineral fertilizers, pesticides used on agricultural fields, as well as the use of additives and dyes to improve appearance products, preservatives to increase the shelf life of products and much more.
Known cases of adding connections heavy metals and other elements unfavorable for the human body, such as mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium, manganese, tin and others.
There are many toxins in the feed of poultry and cattle that can cause cancer, metabolic failure, blindness and other serious diseases.
To protect yourself and your loved ones, you need to be careful about the products you buy. Study the composition and symbols printed on the packaging. Do not support manufacturers who are indifferent to your fate and the state of our planet. Special attention give E-additives with three-digit numbers, the value of which can be easily found on the Internet and thereby live a longer and happier life.
Vitality and mood
The state of health and the quality of nutrition are the determining factors of human activity and vitality. As we can see, all these factors can be associated with the state of ecology on our planet, on which we directly depend. Leading a healthy lifestyle, doing yoga and self-knowledge, it is simply impossible to be indifferent to the environment. When we are in nature, breathe fresh air, eat clean, hand-grown products - our life changes its quality. The state of mind is also transformed, from which the mood and attitude to life in general are harmonized.
Karma
Everything in this world is natural; everything that we do, one way or another, comes back to us, immediately or later - it does not matter. If we take care of ourselves and the world where we now live, save resources, thinking about nature, live in good conscience, then ecological situation the planet will improve - and we will not have to pay for our own recklessness and inattention.
Live consciously, eat healthy - only natural products - take care of the disposal and recycling of waste, use the essentials - then your life and the life of our entire planet will improve! Great things start small!
