Question and Answer
Answer 1
In the present day the world has changed a lot and also the view of the people regarding various
activity has also changed. In this changing environment, people have to face various problems to
deal with the facts in the present world. The three major problem that is being faced by the
people in the rapid development of the world is the early maturity of the youth, then violence in
school and the obesity.
These three are the vital issues that create a problem for the people all over the world. It can be
seen that with the development of the world and technology youth have gone much further than
their age. Extensive knowledge and availability of every single thing have made the process of
early maturity within the young generation (Myburgh, 542-552). The rapid change in the world
also created disturbance in the schools as this lead to the violence in school.
In the recent years, kids are very much attracted to the violence program that is being telecast on
television which creates a huge impact on their mind (Till, and Ben, 730-736). This is the
primary reason for the development of violence within the school. Another major issue is the
obesity in people and in the recent years this can be seen in every single people. The cause of this
issue is due to the unhealthy food habit of the human being. People with the development of
technology have also started to intake all kind of processed food that build obesity in human.
Answer 2
In the present years where the digitalization is only one thing that the entire world is eager to
listen, here media have a huge influence on the activity of the people. This influence of media is
generally on the youth and the young adults who basically care for the virtual world and its
activity. It can be seen that the reaction of the people in the social media create huge influence
for the people to improve their look and their characteristics (Velasquez, and Robert, 899-918).
It can be seen that media is the only way which have the ability to make anyone popular
overnight and for that person in the recent world has totally within the influenced of this system
to maintain their activity in the field. Media does not always act as the mirror to the world
because in this system there is various kind of spices that are added to present in front of the

people (Allcott, and Matthew, 211-36). Either it may be social media or the media platform for
the various activity is not the actual place or the thing that is shown to the people of the world.
This is the primary reason that the entire activity of the people directly depend on media activity
as this world is very much attractive for the young generation where they can explore their way
to maintain various activity within the field. Media is the process which allows the people to
maintain their activity in the various part of the lifestyle.
