The media (or the media) play in our life a huge role. No wonder they called "the fourth power", capable of influencing social and political events throughout the world. After all, the media span the globe, and if something falls into their field of vision, it is something that can become known to all the inhabitants of the planet.
However, the power and the power of media can be used to harm people. After all, such a situation is possible when the media for slander or deliberately will be to distort information, forming in the minds of many people a false picture of the events.
And then people blinded by the truth, can make some reckless or illegal action in advance. Such, for example, happened when in August 2008 Georgia attacked South Ossetia, while all the Western media asserted with one voice that Russia attacked the "peaceful" Georgia. Naturally, the audience of Western countries believe their eyes and consider our country to shameless aggressor.
In our life media is also very important. We can't imagine without them its existence. We want to know what is happening in the world, in our country, we want to be aware of all the important events of our time.
In this, and we help the media. However, it is very important objectivity of information, after all, the media inevitably become a means of manipulating a huge number of people, and this circumstances can not be used "powers that be".
Therefore, we must treat the media with caution, not to believe everything that is told to us on television and written in Newspapers. Not to believe distributed at some sites in the Internet materials that defame innocent people. And only such a cautious attitude will give us the strength to avoid cheating.
На 30-й праздник дня земли в Соединенных Штатах Годы с первого Дня Земли, в 1970 году, когда миллионы людей присоединились к одной из крупнейших демонстраций общественного мнения в истории нашей страны. В тот же день, 20 миллионов американцев приняли участие в митингах, демонстрациях, чтобы показать свою поддержку для защиты нашего здоровья и окружающей среды. Этот День Земли мы отмечаем чистейшую среду в поколение. Но наша работа не делается. Мы по-прежнему сталкиваются с проблемами со здоровьем окружающей среды и населения. Одна из наших самых больших проблем является изменение климата. Глобальное потепление реально сегодня. Более 2000 специалистов в мире по глобальной окружающей среды говорили нам о том, что последствия изменения климата можно предсказать. В декабре года президент объявил новые стандарты. И в первый раз, эти стандарты касаются не только транспортных средств, которые управляют люди, но они используют топливо. Работая вместе, мы создали общие стандарты смысле, что охране общественного здоровья. Существуют и другие источники вредных загрязнений. Только за следующее десятилетие, из-за инвестиций, сделанных в программе Energy Star, американцы будут больше экономить, что 24 миллиардов долларов и уменьшить миллионы тонн вредных веществ. А лучшие вещи об этом - мы не просто экономить деньги; мы уменьшения загрязнения окружающей среды, охраны окружающей среды. Такие экологические проблемы не будут решены правительством. Они не будут решены бизнесом. Они будут решены нами.
