This video I thought I
was very good representation of how much the media can impact how you perceive
yourself and others alike, it recognizes the simple art of imitation, and because
of this the media knows that once a message is delivered that people will
imitate what they see and will want to be the ideal representation. It all
comes down to power, and when we view the media content we give them power to
control what they feel is beautiful or intelligent or what ideas or thoughts
they feel should be influenced and portrayed. The impact that the media has
over a person, let alone a young boy or girl, is extremely powerful and the only
place we can start is by knowledge. We need to recognize that this occurs and
teach this to our children that are growing up so they are not confused and
persuaded by what the media depicts as socially acceptable.
