Does media have an influence on you?? Have you ever thought about it or are you quick to say that the media has no influence on you, what you do, eat, dress and say?
Have you ever stopped and thought about the movies that are released during a year and wondered if there is a possible correlation between the movies you are watching and a particular mentality it may be influencing you to have according to the times? For instance, think about the movies that have been released post 9/11. We were in a time of "sensitivity" hence, fantasy and comedic movies were popular as were comic book style violence (SpiderMan and Die another Day) But as the years have gone by, the movies have changed, and it would almost appear as though recently movies have this superhero quality to them as if to inspire this superhero mentality in all of us and suggest that we (the U.S) are the superheroes of the world. And let's not even talk about the war movies that have released, inspiring a sense of Patriotism and Hoorah sensibility.
Why do you listen to the kind of music you listen to? Why do you watch the shows you watch? What kind of effect do they have on you? Do they influence the way you dress? The way you talk? The way you behave? You probably think not, right? We are all individuals with our own minds and make our own choices because we have the freedom to so, right? Well, of course there are those who beg to differ. Here is an interesting video on..... well I don't want to spoil it. Enjoy!

Me personally i don't too much like the media because i think they are always in everybodys business all the time. They never really influenced me because i don't really pay any attention to the media. I often get mad for no real reson because of some of the things they expose to the public. For example, some reporter tried to point out that Matt Lienart(quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals) was at a phrat party at the university of southern California campus drinking with some friends and there was a picture of him with a keg. They made a big deal that his actions at that party might affect him on the football field. They blew that whole situation out of porpotion and thats one of the reasons why i don't like the media.
