Today in class we discussed the effects mass media has on society. In our group discussions we as a group dicussed how personally the media shapes image. Prime example in which our group found was that media definitely sets the trends from hair, to clothes, to shoes; the stars have what you desire. Jennifer Anistan is a prime example of how young girls will cut their hair in order to look like the fabulous movie star. Also media effects our language such as slang words, no longer to we call handsome boys foxes, or use the term narley for cool, but we have made other words that have merely replaced them for this day in age. Media is culture and is also play a vital role in spreading culture, it is a fundamental part of society.
