Since the appearance of television, the whole world has changed the way of communicating and the means of obtaining data on the problems occurring around us (Beggs J. , 2013). But what if we only have one medium to communicate all this information? How does this affect the existence of only one way to obtain information with veracity and objectivity? This is exactly the situation in Mexico, a country that reigns in a television monopoly, and this control manipulates the information according to its interest.

In this case, the existence of a single media is very practical because they have in their hands the power of production and transmission of programs in Mexico. They also control a large percentage of the Mexican population and they do this (control) with their advertisements and their messages given to the people.

So there are many reasons to stop monopolies, not only economically, but also socially, because they do not allow the free development of thought, and even with regulations and laws, businesses are trying to create monopolies to make more money. .Works CitedBeggs, J.
