Over the past few years, media use among children and teens has become more prevalent than ever. With the launch of the iPod, the explosion in instant messaging, the birth of mobile video and YouTube, and the advent of social networking sites, young people are rarely out of contact, or out of reach of the media. Although culture and society have the potential to generate both positive and negative effects, everything depends on parents and parental supervision. In this paper, I want to present benefits and drawbacks which culture carries, because humans are cultural beings. We learn to communicate and understand our world through the context of our languages, traditions, behaviours, beliefs and values. Our cultural experiences and values shape the way we see ourselves and what we think is important.
