Effects of the Media

Media influences every aspect of people’s lives, even when they don’t realize when it does. This is because media effects desires, and desire drives everything. Every choice, from purchases to relationships, can and are affected by the media.

When people feel like they look better, they are more confident. When people feel like they look better, they feel like they can do anything. Some people think that if they just buy this one product they will look younger, be more successful, and essentially be happier. Basically, media and advertisements intend to sell happiness – and people buy into it. However, no amount of stuff will make someone truly happy, and no product will make their lives perfect. Media and culture says people should have perfect lives and to have a perfect life, buy our product.
