The way we perceive the world has to do with our culture and the media. I feel that what we see on TV or ads influence the way we think or believe. I’m not saying the media should take the full fault since we are our own person, but it does manipulate us.
In class we discussed how the media puts out certain topics for us to be concern with or what we should talk about at the time. For example, when the media made a huge deal on the tragic of Hurricane Katrina, people were so sad that they started to volunteer and helped out the victims of Hurricane Katrina. As soon, as the media stopped talking about it people started to forget about it as well. Even to this day, the Hurricane Katrina victims still don'tt have a lot of their belongings and homes. The point of this example is to explain that the media does help influence on how we see the world.
