In today’s world the media is all around us. There are advertisements everywhere we look there are news broadcasts on every type of technological medium. Media is what controls today’s world. It pushes one candidate up for presidential elections, and it even influences people as to what toothpaste to buy from week to week.
Media does not only influence what we do and what we buy, it also grooms us from a certain age to think and hold certain values close to us. Like for instance in today’s children’s cartoons and movies there are always those hidden moral messages in the end of the show or movie. An example of this is in the movie, “Finding Nemo” the end message is to never give up. While this is not directly stated it is implied throughout the movie. It is moral media types of programming like this that give children the start off that makes them listen to the media.
