How MEDIA cultivates?

Nowadays, and ever before, Media totally has many effect on us. It changes something in our life, maybe not all. But still, there’s something. Media also serves as an entertainment to us. Why can I say these things? Because I am a living example of it, I’ve experienced changing, changing the aspects that have lived in my mind. It cultivates my mind; it put something in my mind that can’t easily erase.

Take for example, what we see on commercials that are shown in the television. Commercials are produced to entertain people to buy the product they produce. To buy something because it makes you beautiful and the likes, but by commercials, our mind was somehow affected and cultivated by media. Like in commercials of shampoo, soap, etc… Beautiful girls commonly called as models are paid to endorse their products. And usually, models that we commonly seen in the television are white in complexion have long hair and soft skin. When we see that aspect in a girl, we automatically think that the girl is beautiful, cause that are the commonly aspects of a model so that is what we think. With that as an example, we can say that media truly cultivate our minds.

Other example is this, why do we think we shake hands with those we had know? For example, we have just known a person, automatically, what we do is to shake hands with that person. Why? Because that is what we see, commonly in movies, we may see scenes like that, that a person shakes hand with a newly-met-person. That’s what we do, because that’s what media gives us that are an effect of how media cultivates us. Another example is when we see a lady who always wear make-up, wear expensive and signature dress we may think that the lady is vain, because that is what the media is usually trying to put in our mind. It is what media cultivates us.

And in movies, for example a slightly violent movie, when it is time for them to beat each other, the antagonist usually lost his power when it is battle time and at the same time the protagonist have his power. Irony isn’t it? But that is what media is always giving us, and at other movies, when two people beat each other, the protagonist usually win and at instance, the protagonist will just stand up and fought again and win this time.
These are just examples of the reality of how media affects us, of how media cultivates us. These are just very valid examples that media really has a great effect in our mind
