To what extent does the media influence the way we see the world and behave?

[Bill G]

How much does the media influence us, and to what extent are other influences more significant?


Cheers for all answers - and no, this isn't a homework question, so none of the 'do your own homework' crap which occasionally festers around Yahoo Answers.

I don't have time too answer more right now, but I think your question is very good. I will come back in a few hours and answer it.

People only know what they learn. We tend to believe what we see and hear so I think media influences a lot of the way we behave.
