Ethics and Media

When I was a girl the television had three channels and went off at midnight. When major events occurred the only show was the news. Couples had seperate beds and children listened to their parents. I am not sure how much I learned from televsion but this generation gets so many imputs. The internet, tweets, facebook, television, music and then life all have impact. I see movies offering ethical issues and some solutions involve breaking rules.
It is noted that ethics are ethics and should not harm another, should not embarass you if published in a prominent newspaper, should be transparent (something you would admit to), and should be what you believe in (Chen, 2009).
