The Power of Media

The pepsi ad was just small way they could try and tap into the way a guy thinks and feels or simply tries to figure their product as something good to solve all of the consumers basic needs and wants in life. The pepsi ad shows how much companies think guys are judgemental about their life and that they think if they drink pepsi that they will somehow become more attractive and more "cool." Companies play on a thin strip of life, which they call the coolness or popularity. The fact of the matter is... That the media is starting to change the way people think they are suppose to be and the way they are suppose to act.

It pains me to say this but media is starting to become more and more like a video game because in the media there is always violence and it's always because people that play video games end up doing things that they do in those video games. It starts out on Radio shows then become commercials/advertisements and then they are found as big thing that could be seen later in that game. The fact is that media doesn't effect what people do or say but actually it's people who effect what people do or say and if we don't know how to make up our minds then they will try to tell us, that their way (products) is the only way (products) that can help us.

In all points of reason the top two paragraph are what my thoughts and beliefs for when it comes down to the media. I don't always think that video games are the root in which children live their lives but since I am one of those people that everyone calls a gamer then my current role is to make sure that everyone knows that the base of must violence comes from violent vidoe games and then when something happens, it will ends up in the media. The fact is that the media will end up changing what happened and state that is was the kids fault but have they ever stop to think that maybe it might be the big companies that make them but there's one company that is making everything so that it has some violence but no blood or gore. See the type of people the violence is for at least for ratings like Teens to the rating AO(Adults only.) If anything to be weird about would be if people think the games are worth their life... My thought is think about what the worst scenario for your action will be.
