Cover Ups

We all use media in our daily lives, so much that when we are scrolling through our daily feeds sometimes we pass something that could have been important. When I think of media I think of it as something to cover up another story. We see these terrible things in stuff like memes, tv shows, movies, and many others forms of media. The things that we see could range form anywhere like horror that happens in real life, terrible things that happened in a war, etc. All of these things are being hidden by the funny captions that people make and put on them, as for tv shows we see these shows that make things like murder, rape, insets, suicide, etc and we enjoy them but I don't understand why. These shows and other forms of media hide the fact that this stuff is actually going on and want to make you believe that we can turn theses terrible things into something that a person enjoys to watch.  It goes as for as a young boy playing a video game such as a shooter game while he is playing it he forgets that it is nothing like being in real war and likes the idea of the game, so they chose to go into the military because they thought it was going to be just like the game. The military has gone as far as to set up game systems in their place and tried to recruit kid though that. Another great example of covering up the story.
