To answer this question, I want to
start with an example: When I watch TV and there is a commercial break, there
might be an ad for a certain kind of chocolate. The next ad might also be for
chocolate, leaving me wondering what kind is the better one. The overwhelming
variety of commercials tends to make people feel indecisive about what they
should think. Concerning the media, this phenomenon is even more notably. The
huge diversity of newspapers, magazines, radio stations and TV channels all
tell different stories, creating doubt about reality. Certain topics, e.g. the
US election, are fiercely discussed in every form possible and because each
medium reflects an individual opinion, society is divided. The US election
further illustrates this topic. Instead of helping the people with their
decision, the immense flood of information overwhelmed some people so much
that they didn’t vote at all. So, the marketplace of media and ideas might really
make us feel indecisive instead of helping us to take action.
