The role of media in influencing societal attitudes The media plays a crucial role in influencing societal attitudes from different perspectives.

Primarily, mass media serves such various reasons in society as educating the civic, informing them, and entertaining them. However, a notable problem is a bias, where the media presents information in favor of one group within society. Such partiality might be in the form of reporting negative stories about the entity, which helps to propagate harmful stereotypes and, therefore, affecting how the larger society treats them.

                Enterprise Resource Planning System Name Institution Affiliated     Enterprise Resource Planning System Information Silos Information silos refer to information management systems that cannot communicate freely with other systems that deal with information management, leaving the information sequestered inside each system.
