Are we being brainwashed?

Whether the public likes it or not, media has a major impact on society. Most people use media as a source of information and communication. The media helps them to stay in touch with the world around them.

Could a person live their whole life without experiencing the media? Is it even possible? I do not think so. Media seems to be everywhere anyone turns. Whether it’s a commercial on TV or a billboard ad on the highway, a person can never seem to get away from it.

Media controls how the population thinks by telling the people about the trends in fashion, music, politics, technology, etc. Without the media, no one would know about any of these trends. The media publicizes in any way they can. These trends control what people think about the people around them and why they are acting the way they do. The media tells us to be a flawless person, but that is not even possible.

Media has been brainwashing people unconsciously. It tries to make people try to reach goals that may not even be possible for ourselves. The population really needs to take a step back and realize what the media has done to them.
