본문내용

The question whether one can be perfectly objective or not has truly been controversial issue of our time. Why does one need to be perfectly objective if possible? When one goes to grocery store and asked how much one pound of onions cost, a clerk should answer objectively. How about taking a mathematics exam? There would be no subjective term involved in terms of computational mathematics. Needless to say, in the modern society, people have developed number of contracts and policies that have to be perfectly objective. A government should be perfectly objective (fairness) when it legislates and enacts a law. Financial companies such as banks or insurance companies increase their credit by improving transparency in management (another objective term). However, do people really trust their objectivities because they are supposed to be objective?
Among those cooperation and public services, the media has the most important role to keep a society objective. Most people watch TV, surfing internet news, or listen to a radio station to get recent information. Also, people embrace new cultures and different groups throughout the media. All politics, marketing, public relation (and announcement), or religion depend on the power of the media. Thus, objectivity is mostly considered the most important characteristic of the media since it can affect and change the whole society. Indeed, the media is capable to not only change the world but also control the world. It has affected the world more than anything else. How has the media changed the society? Has it been perfectly objective or tried to be objective where the objectivity represents being objective to any social classes, in other words, being objective regardless of races, gender, or income levels?
