Well written post, first of you are right the media has a massive influence over the world good and bad. If the media were to say for instance thin is out fat is in... people would immediatly start trying to put on weight. The same thing with advertisments of a lipstick or hairdye, why are they so selective. They do it with every generation example a night cream for seniors they chose Jane Fonda because she looks very good for her age why not be realistic, not everyone will look like that. It makes me wonder if it is a form of lying.
