1. I think the media plays a big part in shaping the views and ideas of different people. When the media normalises violence, such as drill songs and advertsises knives violence is being 'glorified' which creates a big impact on the audience.Drug dealers and drill rappers often glance their money and success in that industry on apps such as instagram which creates idealistic views that violence and rebellion is an easy way to be successful and proceed to follow it. The media also pardons a lot of white school shooters and label them as 'mentally disturbed' and don't proceed to punish them for their crimes which encourages other children to do it knowingly that they won't have to face consequences.
2. In this digital age the access to media is really easy making influence a big threat. Many people look up to the Kardashians infatuatedlifestyle and therefore copy their image by getting plastic surgery or changing their syleof clothing to appeal to the 'norms' of society and fit into the ideal image of what a female should look like which is created by influencers and models. Many influencers have partnerships or collabs with companies such as Amber Rose gills who recently did a club with Misspap and has influenced thousands of fans to purchase their clothing collection not because their necessarily adore the clothing but more to do with the fact thats she was advertising it.
3. IN 1999 there was a moral panic that the world would end since a new millennium was starting. People believed it really quickly and went to the extent of preparing for her death. Many claims similar to this have rised again but people dont believe it anymore and have learnt to not believe everything they see on the internet. In 2001, the event of 9\11 created a lot of controversy amongst society as a whole. It led to the uprising of Islamophobia which caused a lot of conflict and lead to racial attacks and slander. This chain of Islamophobia continues until today portraying how some views are not dependent on just the media anymore.
5. I think the certain content on the media should be regulated and restricted based on how influential young teenagers are and how negative content can shape their future. Different age groups should not be exposed to certain content for example older age groups shouldn't be exposed to content that is meant for teenagers because it can create conflict within a parent and child and young teenagers shouldn't be exposed to certain media due to of how weak their capacity to be influenced is.
6.Heavy internet use is becoming more of a problem since its affection how we interact in society as a whole. The media creates a facade by showing what they want to create a certain image of a social group and not show the good side to it.By doing this , they audience will interpret that this specific social group should be feared and act towards them accordingly. This includes bullying in school or isolation which has an affect on those individuals who are hurt due to the portrayal of them in the media. Many people who watch Shane Dawson conspiracy theories also become fearful of many things just based on his claims but because of his videos are set up it is more believable. It's just a alternative method of making profits in the industry although the audience do not realise this factor.
