We can't deny that media affects us, that's a fact. I know a lot of people who has made life decisions based on the media, some of them have decided to become lawyers because of Grisham's novels/movies, some others have decided to join the armed forces because of war movies and others have decided to become police officers because of tv series like Kojack, TJ Hooker, etc..., at least that's what they say. Anyway, some of them are happy with their CHOICES and other aren't, but i have never heard those who feel that made the bad CHOICE blame it on the media. All that the media did ws present them with a way of life, an alternative to waht they were doing and different careers, you know, OPTIONS, that they, in a personal way decided to take.
I always insist that we are lving in a society that doesn't take blame for anything, we have beeing thought to blame our flaws on other people, the circumstances, the alcohol, drugs, addictios, traumas, THE MEDIA, etc... Somewhere i once read that given the money and the time, almost anything can be proved to be "true", we love linking violence wth movies and video games, infidelity with sitcoms and soap operas but we are unable of discovering that the real responsibles for all that is wrong in this world is ourselves.
Let's stop searching for guilties for our own flaws and errors, and start asuming responsibility for what we do.
