Influence of Entertainment Media

The American Culture today has changed the way we live. It has made Americans emotional, because of the news that has been told such as national disasters that has come about. These national disasters show American unity and caring. The News Media plays a big part in American Culture because we need to know the truth about what’s going on around us. American Culture and Media are the same in a lot of ways, people want to know that the way they live is not influenced by the wrong and bad things that the culture has and explained by journalist. Without journalism people will be less important such as stars who love paparazzi and the afternoon local news that shows and reports what’s going on around us. Media makes American Culture seems nice and enjoyable for them to live here.

In what ways have various forms of entertainment media shaped American culture and its values?

TV is a constant presence in most Americans' lives. With all of its shows that have highly entertaining style, it gets many people's attention for several hours each day. Television helps people to develop values and know about the world around them. Moreover it influences viewers' attitudes and beliefs about themselves, as well as about people from other social and cultural backgrounds. TV is the biggest element that can influence on U.S. culture because of the news reports, the TV shows, and the commercials that on television screen.

Radio, television, film, and the other products of media culture provide materials out of which we forge our very identities; our sense of selfhood; our notion of what it means to be male or female; our sense of class, of ethnicity and race, of nationality, of sexuality; and of "us" and "them." These products of media help shape our view of the world and our deepest values: what we consider good or bad, positive or negative, moral or evil. They contribute to educating us how to behave and what to think, feel, believe, fear, and desire -- and what not too. The media teach us how to be men and women, how to dress,

The United States is the third largest country in the world with a growing population of more than 325 million people. Because of this, the United States is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. Cultures of Native Americans, Latin Americans, Africans, and Asians shape the U.S. culture. The United States is often referred to as a “melting pot” in which different cultures have contributed their own distinct touch to American culture. One of many things that the United States is known for is mass media production. The United States comprises one-third of the worldwide media and entertainment industry (Zimmermann, 2017). In this analysis, I will discuss American Cultures and Foreign Cultures, American Entertainment Products, and conclude how these together can create a great impact.

Television has made a great impact on American culture, it can change how people think and behave. Many people dedicate hours of their free time to view television programs of different genres such as comedy, reality, and the news. It can change the way a person feels to the way a person acts just by watching a certain program. Even though television is entertaining, television does not always contribute good to society because it promotes stereotypes, it inhibits interactions and it gives information that is incorrect.

There are many forces and factors that shape the society of America. The media has a profound affect on how we perceive the world since it is controlled by others. Many of people come home and turn on the television. They zone out, and are bombarded with ads and TV shows that seem harmless but are harmful on a subconscious level. TV has become universal and affects everybody of all ages, religions, races, sizes, and sexes. There have been a number of recent studies that portray the negative affects of TV. Media, such as television, is a hindrance to America's society because it causes more violence, creates image problems and deteriorates self esteem,

Television has impacted the American Culture greatly since it was first created. However, the first impact allowed a nation to become closer by learning important information in a timely manner. The programs available in today’s culture has vastly grown. Television programs has created a massive monster in the American Culture with the effects ranging from violence, rape, rage and even murder. The first programs of the era had a more religion family value.

Further, the media has played a key role in influencing culture and its values due to its overexposure. Media can be viewed nearly anywhere whether it’s television, social media, or magazines. Each day, the media feeds us with new trends that society obeys. In

There has never been a time when popular culture has been more pervasive and influential in American society. With advances in technology and creative innovation, outlets for popular culture have expanded greatly and are virtually innumerable. Through the consumption of television, music, magazines, movies, newspapers, blogs, and memes to name a few, American citizens and others around the globe are inundated with ideals and images that work to mold their collective psyche by impacting every facet of their daily lives and by providing a critique of modern-day society. Perhaps much of the influence of popular culture lies in the fact that its primary function is to appeal to the masses;

With the increase and spread of the mass media, the United States was the first to undertake researches and empirical studies on the effects of the media, and with time the pursuit became globalized. These effects were studied from different perspectives; some studies viewed the fact that the ownership of the media by only a few minorities is a problem in itself (kellner, 1). Many critics have also condemned the internationalization of the American film and television and its influence on the creation of hegemony over the world cultures lead and controlled by the American culture. The media effect was also studied in terms of culture creation, impact on morality, violence representation, and its effect on racial, ethnic and gender representations

When cable TV was introduced in the 1940’s, it opened up a whole new spectrum for channels and broadcasting. From that point on TV channels were expanding on ideas that people wanted to see, while also expressing themselves by making shows that people can relate to. TV both does, and does not have an effect on our American culture, due to the massive spectrum of channels and shows that we have in the present day. TV is so varied that you cannot make generalization or answer this question in Yes or No. There are television programs, which do reflect American society, but in itself are variable. Through programs like A&E’s “48 Hours”, and

TV today has a great deal of constructive outcomes and impacts on our public and American culture. TV gives us supportive data, different types of instruction and diversion, which can provide some beneficial outcomes on the public. On an everyday premise, TV keeps us educated with a lot of supportive data. However, viewer must watch with wisdom. Viewers must remember the television is a tool to stimulate our thoughts, ideas, and creativity. It should not a be used as manual to shape an individual’s identity or ideas. TV has dependably been a wellspring of contention in the United States. How it influences our public and the general population have sparked inquiries that individuals have been mulling over as far back as televisions creation.

Media influence is the force by which ideas are injected into people’s lives shaping the very culture of society. This influence is masqueraded through hidden media message, resulting in a change in its audience which can be positive or negative, abrupt or gradual, short term or long term. Although mass media’s influential effect can reach a wide ranged audience as an agent of socialization the responsibility to contain what it releases has not been of importance. “The media’s socially significant obligations are formally ignored.” (A.S. Zapesotskii, 2011, p 9). Media messages can be exerted through many different outlets such as TV shows, music, movies, commercials, news, magazines, games which are all gravitated to entertain audiences ultimately offering personal gratification that can sometimes blur the lines between reality and

Music media has drastically changed over time due to technology and cultural shifts. Although it’s not common for people to use old forms of media today, some people still prefer to use products such as vinyl records over modern forms of media. To begin with, the first form of music media goes back all the way to the phonograph which was made by Thomas Edison in 1877. Later the graphophone and gramophone were introduced as innovations of the phonograph. In the western world, someone who would be my grandparents’ age would use the gramophone to listen to classical music, which was popular in that time period. Records for gramophones would be made out of glass and people would listen as the arm read the rhythm of the music. My grandparents did not use gramophones as often as people did in the North America because in South Asia it was more common to listen to music through live performances instead of records. However, my grandparents often listened to music through the radio or television and through Bollywood movies. Moving forward, after WW2 when plastic records became extremely popular in North America many teenagers who are now baby boomers used this form of music media to listen to music. The baby boomer generation was well known for listening to rock and roll music through record players. Later on, in the 70’s, cassette players were introduced which made it very easy to listen to music as you can listen to one song and
