The last agent of socialization from the other day is the media. The media has a profound impact on U.S. citizens.
One video highlighting this impact is from the movie
Consuming Kids from the Media Education Foundation. The movie exposes all the ways that marketers have tried to make kids into consumers.
Watch it here on mediacast.
As you watch the video, think about your own experiences growing up and how they compare to what the video says. What are your own examples of becoming a consumer and being branded by the media?
Also, think about your experiences in the UN-TV experiment. What did this reveal that might relate to the power of TV?
