Overall, through focusing on each different aspect of the media in today's society, I was able to realize how prominent it is in today's culture. Before this assignment, I had not fully understood just how often the media shows up in our everyday lives. Media can come in the form of a radio station, a website, an advertisement, a magazine, or social networking sites, and each form has a specific way of informing us of the culture and information in today's world. Positives and negatives exist in the media, as I was able to see through this analyzation. News and magazines have the power of altering opinions of their audience and can have the tendency to change people's ideas about body image and beauty in a negative way. However, almost instantly, we are able to be exposed to mass media and despite the negative aspects, the messages portrayed all depend on the way we perceive them. Personally, I love the accessibility we have to the latest news and culture of our society and I will continue to allow myself to be informed through the various sources with an open mind, as time goes on and our society continues to grow and change.
