We are living with MEDIA. TVs, , music, newspaper, radio, books, etcetera, etcetera. They always deliver their own messages to lure people. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbk4TcSNyFE
Be careful not to fall for that tho.
Messages are everywhere. Text from cellphone, thumbs up from FB, likes from Youtube. Message alerts never stop. So, we can say we are living in a deluge of messages. What are we doing with these all messages? We are communicating with people all over the world. The slogan, "The medium is the message", emphasizes how important communication is, no matter who we communicate with.
Look at the t-shirt on your left. Like this t-shirt, it says all the sizes are the message.Large messages or small messages. Capacity of Media is infinite. What messages are you carrying?
Do you think MEDIA always deliver us good messages? NO. Unfortunately, MEDIA may have negative messages. Watch out!
Media may give us positive guideline, BUT we are the boss of ourselves. Don't let them stir us.
I like your ideas on media would express bad messages to people. Many young people are pursuing perfect body image that appears on magzines or movies,because they think of themselves imperfect to matchup with dream soulmates.
