Step-by-step explanation:

The media is an important aspect of our lives. Media are used in changing people's opinion about a subject for instance the media is an important tool for politicians during campaigns. Although, the media also has disadvantages, the media can be use to promote equality such as in ethnicity, gender and and many more.

The media includes; Television, Radio, Newspapers(print), films and so on.

The media shape how we perceive men and women in American society. If you watch most movies, the number of male actors are often more than the numbers of female actors and because of this many people might think that men are more than women.

Also, the media shows that men as powerful being and that men are sexually aggressive.
