This modern
society has a lot of media, in the day life we always touch that, it must
affect to every people, no matter in public transport, bus stop or mobile
phone, every place, every time we also get the message in this media image, however
the media images mostly detached from the external world in this society.
So, why
the media images will detach from the external world? I think that must because
the mass psychology, the most common example is restaurant’s menu. If go to restaurant,
you will find it out, the menu photo of dish always a bigger, delicious and beautiful,
it’s very attract the consumers, but when you order that dish it will make you
disappointed, such as, McDonald's and KFC.
Example
not just in restaurant, the business or merchandise advertisements also like
that. For example, “Eclipse mints” in the advertisement said that, if you use
it, that you can meet new friends easily or more close to girls, but I don’t
think so, it must not this amazing features in real world, that just the idea
of advertisement to catch the consumers.
Basically,
the media images detached from the external world, is because the people need
the advertisements to attract consumers, then they will exaggerate about their
merchandise, give an interest media images their customer, this why the media
images detached from the external world.

Dear Yu Hin, The power of image is discussed generally. The examples are appropriate. Try to make reference to the phases of image, representation and relevant terms in the writing.
