Social influence

People all over the world are subjected to mass media everyday but sadly; most fall for the scheme more than they would like to admit. Whether it is a picture of a model telling us she lost 20 pounds in a month after childbirth or commercial oppressing women and men inferring the cheeseburger they are eating will take us to the tropical island they are lying naked on, we end up allowing ourselves to fall into the trap that is mass media. In Where the Girls Are: Growing up Female with the Mass…
