Media Constructs Reality (#2)

From magazines, songs, to movies and TV shows, media has constructed reality all over the world. Examples of this from magazines would be in Cosmopolitan, because some of the things that are in that magazine seem crazy and no one I've ever talked to would be down to try the things that they say too. Songs by Eminem, TI, 50 Cent, The Game, Lil Wayne, and etc. construct reality by their lyrics and their meanings. An example of this would be when the rappers are talking about using violence and drugs as a solution to their problems. Movies such as comedies (rude jokes and rascism), action movies (unrealistic stunts), thrillers (bad guys being very intelligent). TV shows that this shows up in is definatley in CSI ( known as the CSI effect) this constructs reality because it makes the audiece believe that it is possible to solve a crime in 40 minutes. All of these examples construct reality because it makes people believe that anything is possible now a days, and that you should do some crazy things to help yourself find answers to your problems. People cannot seem to distinguish between fiction and reality because there is just so much media constructing reality out there! It's everywhere we look (magazines, music, news, movies, TV shows, etc). Some people such as media students know that this is happening, but other people do not get the idea of what's going on. Its come down to the jurors having a different about real life scenarios after they've watched the shows a couple times. The world needs to be aware of what is happening with the media and how its constructing our reality!
