Media
I think the media relates to all of the blogs I've commented on so far and all of they the topics I will comment on since it is the most largest and most funded influence in the world. I've noticed that in all of the blogs so far I've tended to blame the media one way or another so I thought it was quite important to explain why I blame them!
Most of the bad behaviour can be blamed on the media from its biased news reporting to people most desired idols i.e. Jay-Z, Beyonce, Britney Spears etc. Jay-Z known to smoke cigars, Beyonce wears skimpy clothes and claims to be a good christian and Britney who can be described as some what 'loose' like many other celebrities. You get the picture! The need for debating on topics such as smoking, bandits etc has derived from the switches in definition, through time, between what is 'good' and 'bad' behaviour'. Nowadays, what was originally 'bad' has been glamorised and promoted through the media. While the the media tries to promote original behaviours it tries to stop them as well, leaving people with a mixed message and some may argue a state of confusion. On one hand, the glamorise smoking while on the other hand adverts are 'trying to make people quit smoking' - It's all a money making scam!
When news report this so called 'war on terror' they forget to mention the other side of the argument...but because New is presented as 'rational' facts people don't question it. We're not shown footage of people in Iran or Iraq accept of course of something like dispatches (channel 4) when they do try and 'dig deeper'.
Here's an interesting link that I have used in favour of my view, they also blame media for essentially brainwashing and indoctrinating!
