MEDIA+REFLECTION

Media in American society has played a huge role on how people think, act and feel. Whether its an advertisement in a magazine or a commercial on TV, in today's day in age technology has allowed us to constantly be surrounded by media. Americans become subconsciously influenced by the constant pressures of media and as a result, have set standards for themselves. This relates to the distinctly American characteristic of self improvement. Americans are always trying to better themselves, and when the media is present, it is setting a standard and creating goals for Americans to reach.
