do i think that the way that teenagers are portrayed in the media is accurate? no i dont i think that its accurate. the way that they portray it is more or less makeing what is unique in a person cool, i dont know about you but when something is cool it really quickly becomes un cool because somone screws it up, and then people get made fun of for it later. things very quickly become out of date or old because of cool hunting. cool hunters are constantly looking for "the cool" and when they find "the new cool" they change the image portrayed and thats what people want, they want to be cool, and everyone just follows it and those who dont are out of date people.

when i think about the modern popular culture, i think about how the media shows us an image of somthing and with that image they are able to manipulate us into thinking that we need what they show, or that we have to be apart of something thats popular. they manupulate us because they make it "cool" in other words what every one else is doing.

the types of media that are important to me would be music, games and movies. i like the emotion involved in music plus it sounds good. games are very fun and they fill the boring gaps in my day. movies are also important because they are freakn awsome, the technologie involved in movies has gotten soo great that they are so easy to enjoy.

i believe that media is very important in my life. media is a big part of the world now and its apart of everyones life. Its important because of how advanced it is now and how much we all rely on it for day to day tasks....plus i live to play video games : )
