standard of education just keeps on rising and where man wants to touch the boundaries of this sky to that here i am shocked to see the high level indulgence of media in human life today it is effecting the human minds with a pretty rapid speed and its influence is now so mixed up in our blood and veins that as human life seems to be at a loss or incomplete with out the favor of it it is no doubt a highly debatable topic whether the role and impacts of media is positive and constructive towards our society or it is a slow and gradual poisoning of minds polluting agents for our lives as we all know that a society and specially our youth are directly influenced by media so in order to get the actual report i conducted a survey on 8220 impacts of media on society 8221 which helped me a lot to get a consensus and report on this topic a number of things constitute a society in order to get more concise and accurate results i divided our survey with respect to three things according to age of individual according to the designation of individual net results and views of people â main points of the survey â positive impacts it has power to speak against wrong things and events of the society a major source of awareness our world has become a global village with the courtesy of media exposes many corruption cases and injustices taking place in the society gives new ideas about the way of living style fashion and modernize our culture negative impacts tv shows and dramas are copying western culture and leaving a very wrong impact and immaterialist culture upon the minds of especially young generation the accessibility to internet and messaging services has given an un restricted freedom causing bad cases in the society its focus is always on the exaggeration of any event regardless of the indulgence of wrong propaganda creating panic in the society news channels creating frustration by making hype of anything â my results i concluded the result with respect to three basis let 8217 s have a look on them â according to age when i concluded the survey report with respect to age of individuals following result was found in 18 25 years old people 51 believes that it depends upon the usage of it 40 5 believes that its impacts are destructive 8 6 people with a very small ratio believes that media is playing a constructive and positive role in 26 40 years old people 29 4 believes that it depends upon how the person uses it 47 people votes for the negative impacts of it 23 5 people agree with the significant and positive role of it in 41 60 years old people 18 18 says that it totally depends upon the usage of it 9 09 says that its role is not appropriate or is leading towards destruction 72 72 people say that the media is doing a good job and is very positive â conclusion our youth is not so much inclined towards the favor of media and majority says that it depends upon how individual use it and if one wants to get benefit from it he can on other hand if one want to ruin itself through different ways media would become a source of his destruction but here i noticed a strange behavior when we move upward in the age of people it is noticed that there are more people who are in favor of media and consider it a blessing of science as i found that more than 72 of the people ranging from 41 60 years are in favor of media â according to designation when i concluded the survey report with respect to the designation of individuals following result was found â students 8217 opinion 51 says that it depends upon the usage of it 39 says that it is playing a negative role and is a major source of social disorganization in the society 10 students with a small ratio are in the favor of media and say that it is playing a good and marvelous role in the society â teachers 8217 and professors 8217 opinion 42 85 says that it depends upon the person as se can take benefit from it and in the same time he can go for the wrong thing and bear severe loss 28 5 says that the media 8217 s impacts are positive on the society and is doing a good job 28 5 with the similar ratio of positive vote of media says that it 8217 s just trying to make more and more money regardless of the fact that they are creating panic and chaos in the society â working class 31 believes that the impact and role of media is not good or bad itself but varies from person to person and largely depends upon how an individual uses it 38 says that they are providing wrong values and customs to our society and specially youth and largely focuses on the negative aspect of every picture 31 believes that it is doing a tremendous job and is a major factor behind the concept of global village of the world â conclusion majority of the teachers and professors of our society says that a person itself is responsible for the impacts of anything as if he chooses the right path to follow it will definitely lead him towards success but if he chooses wrong path he will face the destruction but some of them believes on the positive role of it and some consider it simply a violating agent of society â our working class is not in favor of media and consider that they are just adding wrong concepts and values to our lives and in order to compete other channels even our news are producing violence by creating the hype of any news but some also believes that they are a major source of information and connecting the people all around the world and some believes that the influence and effect of media depends upon the user of it â overall result when i calculated the overall result of our survey following result was found â 37 people with highest ratio says that the impacts of media are neutral as if the person is intended to get benefits from it media is helpful and will support the person and the same media can lead a person towards destruction if he uses it for wrong sake and in a wrong way these days where mobile messaging service is used to protest against wrong demand of government or any wrong deed so in the meanwhile it is also used to create wrong propaganda in the society and for torturing the people on the name of islam by wrong messages â 34 people with second highest ratio say that the impacts are negative as it is promoting other cultures and violating our youth media is just showing the negative aspect of every thing showing only the problems not giving the solutions to these problems and producing a state of anarchy in the society â 29 people with least ratio agree to the significance of media and consider it is playing a responsible and fair role in the society and helps the people in so many ways like it gives information to large amount of public and keeps them updated and reveals so many cases of corruption of many reputable persons specially electronic media which causes many illiterate people to get informed about all the circumstances happening in the society â my point of view the media yields great power but do not forget that 8216 great power means great responsibility 8217 this should always be remembered but these days in the mad race of 8216 breaking news 8217 the media is sometimes losing its focus and distorting media ethics the role of media has become very important in shaping present day socie ty the print and the electronic media have become a part of one 8217 s daily life undoubtedly media has attained the role of a powerful organ in virtually all spheres of society in this given scenario media should have a great responsibility as media without accountability can become a dangerous instrument and can harm the society irreparably it is said that â power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely 8217 corruption not in literal sense but presenting news in a twisted manner that suits the channel and misguides the masses in general is also a sort of corruption there are numerous advantages of media but there must be some sort of restrictions which are to be followed by it â our responsibility we must protest against the wrong propaganda of media instead of blaming others we have to educate our people what is good and bad and what are their circumstances encourage the positive activities of media must try to promote our norms and values in society face the problem and find the solution rather than ignoring it restrictions to use are not the solution of problem as it creates more curiosity among the people however actual guidance is needed in order to analyze good or bad by her own self posted in media impact tags life

you make cold calls or follow up calls then you are probably well acquainted with voice mail â voice mail is a vicious sale stopper and it isnâ t going to go away any time soon â knowing how to manage this electronic screen is vital for your calling success the key is to leave a message only as a last resort in the meantime here are ten creative proven and effective ways to get past voice mail and reach more decision makers 1 â find an ally and gather intelligence by doing some intelligence gathering before you call the decision maker can make voice mail a non item â one of the best tips is to call your prospectâ s sales department and speak to a sales rep â ask for their help and explain that you are a sales rep and trying to reach a certain decision maker ask if they could give you the decision makerâ s direct number their e mail address and most importantly if they know a good time to reach that individual â the sales rep is in the same boat as you and will empathize with you and understand your plight you will be amazed at what you get 2 â use a master list and make a pile of calls get a yellow legal pad list 25 or 30 contacts plus their numbers start at the top of list and dial if you encounter voice mail hang up and go to the second name and so on and so on never leaving a message the idea is to quickly dial until you reach a live person if you complete the list cycle it again â no luck try it one more time call it elbow grease but youâ ll be surprised at how many times you get through on the second or third go around 3 â listen and learn when you encounter voice mail take the time and listen carefully to the message sometimes you can get a good feel for the decision makerâ s personality which might be beneficial if you have to leave a voice mail message later on sometimes you learn the decision maker is out of the office donâ t leave a message because it will be lost â with all the other accumulated messages another tip â all back one or two days after the decision maker has returned they wonâ t be nearly as busy catching up and may have the time to take your call 4 â try different times try different times of the day top decision maker are typically in early so call then try late in the day and at lunch the point is do not leave a message without making several attempts at different times of the day 5 â call different departments often the real culprit is not voice mail but call display â try calling a different department before you call the decision maker call the customer service department or someone in sales or maybe the office of chairman ask for your contact sometimes but not always when the call is transferred the decision maker will see â chairmanâ s officeâ or some other internal departmentâ s number instead of yours if they are there theyâ ll answer it 6 â try neighboring extensions this is powerful tip if your contact is at extension 110 try calling extension 109 or 111 sometimes the extensions and offices are in sequence and you will get a neighbor â the best thing about this tactic is that the neighbor can â seeâ if your contact is in their office ask the person if they could peak around the corner to see if your contact is available they often do and then transfer the call 7 use your cell phone again if you suspect that call display is the reason why your call goes unanswered and into your contactâ s mail box try calling from your cell phone the number will be unfamiliar and if the decision maker is there chances are they will answer it you can also use 67 which screens your number but this is a pay for use feature check with you phone carrier 8 use a pay phone hereâ s another great idea if you think your number is being screened find a coffee shop that has a public phone get yourself a triple grande latte grab your master list and a handful of quarters and make some calls â if the contact is there heâ ll probably see â pay phoneâ and answer heck who wouldnâ tâ if they ask you about the tactic donâ t deny it say that you went for a coffee true and used the pay phone to make calls also true 9 leverage other media if you have an e mail address you can prime the contact that you will be calling the e mail is less intrusive and if you have a good subject line you might get noticed tell them â when you will be calling and that you â hopeâ the contact will take the time to answer your call â another route to take albeit more costly is to use a dimensional mailer send a bulky package â e g sending a book and attach a note to say youâ ll call first thing in the morning â sometimes this will get your call answered if only because the contact wants to say thank you but more significantly if you have to leave a message most contacts feel compelled to reciprocate your gesture by calling you back 10 last resort leave a message if you have tried four or five of these tactics or all of them you have earned the right to leave a message make it short benefit oriented and polite but be sure to follow up â wait three business days and leave another message â do this a couple of more times and wait three business days before leaving each message â if there is no rely by then discontinue the calling summary these are some creative ways to get past voice mail and itâ s actually fun to see which one works best for you give them a shot before you ever leave a message this will increase your odds of getting through and reaching more decision makers posted in impact sales tags decision makers elbow grease personality no comments 187 laquo older entries contact us
