Media can have a powerful influence on our thoughts and behaviors. Television, movies, music, magazines, books, radio, and social media can all shape how we think and what we do. For example, television shows can affect our opinions on relationships, as well as on topics such as current events, gender roles, and body image. Music can also influence our behavior, from the way we dress to our attitude toward violence and drugs. Social media can shape our opinions on political issues, as well as our views on controversial topics like racism and sexism. All of these forms of media have the potential to influence our thoughts and behaviors.
