In this age of intensive media coverage, it is no longer possible for a society to regard any living man or woman as a hero.

Today we can hardly find a place across the world where people do not have access to media such as TV radio or newspaper. This broad coverage of media has definitely changed our lives compared to past. Status of heroes in view of some people might be seen unaffected by the media. However, i agree with this statement that nowadays it's no longer possible for a society to laud living heroes as before because of great influence of media.

considering the subject into a closer consideration, the power and authority of media to praise or damage figure of a hero is an undeniable matter. The main controversary arises would be the current trend of media to debilitate power of people considered as heroes. to clarify the subject we need to dissect the policy behind and the reason while in our time heroes rarely found and raised by media.

First point comes to one's mind is the possible internal and external role player factors. For instance politics can be considered a dominant factor in policy-making in respect to media. Strong influence of politics on media is so common in many nations.

additionally, there exists a belief that lauding heroes in society might cause unwanted adversing effect especially on youngsters who compromise a large proportion of people in a society. As it is evident that finding a perfect person without any flaws in his or her character would be improbable so in this way any negative points in celebrities and famous people would have some negative and unpredictable consequences on this part of society because these people generally considered as good role models for youngsters. Exemplifying the above point, I can explicitly refer to many favorable children TV characters which gradually loosed their popularity among people because of media gradually weakened their role.

In conclusion, media toady has extensively affected our lives and changed the conception of heroes among people of many societies. For sure around us there are many unknown living heroes whose actions and beliefs changed many lives but not recognized by media under influence of many factors like politics.

thanks for your comment
i hope i get the same score at the exam next saturday.actually i wrote this article under pressure of time about 30minutes.i had taken ielts writing before(score 7)fortunately it had more time to think and develop an idea.I'm a student and i was not able to read and practice all of the issue pools that makes me a little bit stressed out.however your comment gave me some confidenec as i thought the number of words in my text is not adequate for such exam.
Anyway thanks and i'm eager to know any suggestion what can i do in next three days?

within the last two weeks i was busy with sending my paper, finding university for PhD as well as writing SOP.I think that i will get reasonable GRE score(I do not have my scores yet).However,I think if i have a good recommendation and SOP,I have chance to be considered as a PhD student.my major is genetics and I want to try applying to neuroscience programs in the US.If i thought last year there is a small chance for acceptance i would send my application.

To be honest,I did not have any confidence but now with the hot findings i reached in my master thesis(not publically published yet) there is some hope even in applying to Princeton.I know surely what i gonna do as research in future and i have my own hypothesis (seems to be correct consistant with recent publications in 2011).I can't pursue my interests here in my homecountry as our lab is not well equipped for research in this field.My question is that whether it's necessary or not to indicate all the aforementioned points in details and with refering to current literature in this field as refrences?
I have written a SOP with this order of contents:(i'll be grateful to know your idea)
-the reason why i became interested in neuroscience
-my findings(briefly)in master
-The importance of my finding and a brief summary of scientific attempts towards the issue with refrences(emphasizing this field needs more research and why i'm interested in )
-my previous experiences, publications,the reason why i do not pursue PhD here
-my wish to have a career in the future as a researcher (emphasizing on the importance of basic research)
-why this university?(very generall,i do not know whether i should state exactly which lab i'm going to work with or not)
-overall,my main characteristics and experessing my enthusiasm(total words about 1100 )
