5. poem about mass media:

Mass Media

You tell us what we need to know

You tell us what we need to think

You tell us what is the truth

And you drive us to the very brink

            I found this chapter really fascinating because it broke down the cultural norms, beliefs, and values in different diverse societies.  It provides a real symbolic definition on what culture is.  Norms are what people set in a society that can be formal or informal and when they are violated beliefs can vary. Beliefs in a society can be referred to share ideas of the true nature of social reality. Then when a person has their own set of beliefs the concepts of values can provoke different ideas.

            Culture can rapidly become different when mass media is involved in the popular culture of a society.  The media has an enormous influence on a group’s main belief or value.  The media can impose an influence that has a major racist or sexism view altering the though of people in society. This is a huge influential tool the media hold over people predicting their path in belief they way they wanted them to be expressed to society not you individual concerns.
