The likelihood of violent behavior in viewers' mentalities and social lives is increased by programs like war serials, pornographic flicks, and dramas that all depict such programs that are against the moral and ethical ideals of culture. As the violence in the real environment increases, they increase the risk of abuse. In the current review, the evidence of these studies has been critically evaluated, based on the social and psychological factors that have been developed. These elucidations show how the dangers of violence might have negative short-or long-term impacts. The level of impact of media violence is compared to a few other known social issues in order to assess how serious these risks are, how urgently they need to be addressed, and how to eradicate them. The fundamental function of the mass media in our society in the 20th and 21st centuries has been to impose certain beliefs on our culture and way of life, despite the fact that information and media are now seen as the fourth pillar of democracy.

Modernization has converted media into an indispensable feature of human activity. However, factors like age, education, economic condition, personal needs and availability of proper components decide the quantum and frequency of media use. This is evident from the fact that most media centres are located in urban areas. The majority of consumers of media products are also concentrated in and around cities and towns.

Social media is expeditiously unfolding right in front of our eyes and it is relatively undoable to castoff and secrete from this new form of media. It is not only a momentous part of hobnobbing and mingling within groups of the same status, but it is also used to display and instigate people to become part of an outsize populace. It has positively changed the way and manner we communicate and how we find and share information through various media platform such as the use of Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, and many various blog formations. With new application on smartphones, media (video and audio) can be created, edited and shared quickly. Once it becomes digital, it no longer belongs to the creator as it has gone far and wide.

Although, the teenage and adolescent years can be quite exacting for children, and social networks can be locus for them to ramble to for support and advice when going through a difficult time. The impress of the media on the psychosocial development of children is abstruse. Thus, it is impertinent for physicians to discuss children's exposure to media with parents and guardians so as to furnish admonition on age-appropriate use of all media, including television, radio, music, video games and the internet, because various social media sites offer children of adolescent and teenage age new ways to access communication and entertainment and the lengthy effects are still not well known.

Many of them are not aware that they are individually targeted because the sites keep track of their habits and demographics. For this rationale, it is also very mandatory for parents to be more cognizant of this new media and what it offers both good and bad for our children The phenomenon of this assertions are to delve into the advantageous and pernicious sequence of media on a child's mental and physical health.
