If we pick one subject to argue, isn't the violence factor on the cable networks (and other media formats), have a direct correlation to our acceptance and sensitivities to violence? What about all the other subjects like sexual conduct morality, aggression, guns, power ego, greed, materialism, ambition, education, parenting, marriage, politics, respect and irreverence? The way I see it we place ourselve in front ot the screen like zombies letting the media program our minds. Independent thinking is not an aspiration of modern society. Someone else is determining how we should think and behave.

it isn't a standard challenge, yet to get you to vote the way they prefer both area makes ridiculously over simplified and sensational statements. The source is the least puzzling area of the "reliable" clinical document. It truly says that contained in the subsequent 100 years the common international temperature will pass up between a million.8 and four.0 tiers C and melting ice will reason sea ranges to pass up between 18 and fifty 9 centimeters. Then they make a set of estimates about how which will change the elements. Then they make extra estimates about how the hot climate will effect crop yields, organic world habitats, well being, clean water substances, and how the starting to be sea factor will effect coastal cities. At no time do they say each and every man or woman will die or call everybody twelve months as "the" twelve months something will take position.

I would have to state that it really doesn't have as much impact as one would think.
I was born in the early 1950's. The cartoons of the 50's & 60's were just as violent or possibly more violent than any around today. We didn't have the video games of today, but we have had tons of movies with violence ever escalating.
On top of that, many of us served overseas in Vietnam, which I can personally attest to as being scarier and more violent than just about any place imaginable.
At the same time, when I see a touching scene in a movie, I still find myself tearing up. The same is true when real violence rears its ugly head. 9/11 for instance. I, like most of the US felt a big lump in our throats and a tear in our eyes.

TV is crap. They are programming the masses to puke out their own version of the truth. A society of mindless drones is their goal. They also want to keep the fear factor up so people will be more easily controlled. It's amazing how much violence you see on TV every night for any major U.S. city, but when you go there, you could hang out there for months any never see any of that.

Totally agree with your view. Media manipulates almost
every aspect of life, specially the young and the less educated.
And there is a motive of commercial gain behind every move.
One may remember, the famous word ' I have come here
to bury Ceazer not to praise him.'
There exists a very large Roman mob.

You are correct. However, as we get older and validate or invalidate perceptions of how we "learned" things are through actual experiences, we should begin to realize that most information is biased in the media.
So as you may be influenced by the media, you have cognitve control over how you are influenced or just how you filter the information you are being bombarded with. You can and should take charge of how you learn, think and behave. You don't have to sit back and be a gullible pawn.

Sure it does but not as much as our politics influence the way we think. Republicans blame Clinton. Democrats blame Bush. And we both see completely opposite sides of things according to our political affiliation.

The media is the message! It has become the role model and desensitized people to suicide and murder and other horrors. The way people talked after the Simpsons came out, EGAD. Suddenly a nation of what sounded like idiots!!!!!

TV rots the brain, plain and simple. People simply need to get out more and think for themselves.
