With every class that passes I become more and more convinced that media of all kinds is ruling our lives. We discussed how the current generation is part of a mass culture that follows the crowd in all aspects, including supporting the latest fad, and supporting the latest fad was the primary source of our last discussion. We questioned why it was that people became so obsessed with raising awareness over subjects that they themselves do not understand. Unfortunately, this will be another paper on how the media has not failed to manipulate us.
