I knew that the media influenced consumers a lot but I had no idea exactly how much. Adversiters know exactly when to have their ads and what station to hasve them on because they have to research that information to make as much money as they can. They need to know who will buy their product and what kind of shows they enjoy. They influence us with their ads by showing our needs, wants, and desires. The media also influences us by the television shows because they use stereotypes and showing meanings. We see the stereotypes and believe they must be true becuase we don't understand them otherwise. We also see body types on TV and want to look just like that. Girls believe they can look exactly like the models and don't understand why they can never lose enough weight to look like them. The media influences us in positive and negative ways, we just have to figure out what they are trying to get at.
