Evidence
Countless student surveys have revealed that individuals feel motivated, insecure, focused or confused depending on the type of media exposed to. Psychological research has determined that; (1) There is direct correlation to what we view and how we fell emotionally. (2) A direct correlation to what we here and how we think. (3) What individuals see and hear impacts thinking imagination and perception. A Senior Field study concluded that more youth have a lower reading comprehension level due to the overwhelming media of the last 5 years (2009-2014). The National Board of Education has witnessed a decline in reading and writing interest over a 5 year gap (2009-2014). Social Media has had over 30% increase and over 10 new added online web applications. With more opportunity for access, the youth have a greater chance to be negatively influenced with counterfeit images.
