More on media

In addition to the political influences the media has, it is also helping to damage the priorities of our and upcoming generations. In a gender aspect specifically, women are taught at a very young age that appearance is the most important thing in life. They grow up modeling themselves after women who are painted up and graphically enhanced to create a billboard or magazine cover. These idealisms created by the media can easiy cause young women to become uncomfortable with thier natural bodies and cause them to begin eating dissorders. More recently, men are having the same effect brought upon them. More than the body image though, men are told that strength and success are the most important factors in life. The media is bringing on extreme binaries that is helping to keep our nation segregated and rut stuck. We need to get over the binaries! Media sources need to become more moral instead of profit seeking!
