* Print media: Eg. Magazine, Newspaper, Journal, Poster etc
*Electronic media : Eg TV., Radio, Internet etc.
Roles of mass media are: To enlighten, to entertain, to mobilize, to advertise, to educate and to distribute information to the general public.
Problems of mass media are: Corruption, security, gender bias, cultural problem, ideological problems and oppression by the government.
Solutions to the problems are: Provision of security, encouragement of all gender, freedom of speech and expression law should be enforced, citizen enlightenment and education about the media, there should be support for all genders to practice journalism.
CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY
This is when a person or a group of people exercise their legitimate and approved power on others for the benefit of the society. This is legitimately backed by the Constitution and law.
The sources of Constitution are: Legal rational, Charismatic and Traditional.
Power is the ability to compel others to do things against their own will. It is intoxicating, non legitimate and it comes with force.
