Former SIS agent and novelist David Cornwell once said, “I suffer from the same frustration that every decent American suffers from. That is, that you begin to wonder whether decent liberal instincts, decent humanitarian instincts, can actually penetrate the right-wing voice, get through the steering of American opinion by the mass media.” In this weeks reading we read about the events happening after the cold war and beyond. These being subjects like the NATO expansion to internal reform.

The consciousness, beliefs and culture that individuals in society adhere to are largely influenced by the ever-growing mass media. As a matter of fact, Americans devote an average of twenty-eight hours to watching television per week (Mantsios, 2008). Furthermore, they put in an undetermined number of hours listening to the radio, going to the movies and reading periodicals (Mantsios, 2008).

The fear of crime is one of the most lasting outcomes of a crime-ridden society. Crime, deviance, delinquency and other social problems have always been a staple of newspaper accounts, television news shows and crime dramas. The majority of the population relies on the news media as the main source of information and the basis on which they form their opinions and voting decisions. Knowledge of these events is secondhand, filtered through the media graphically and textually, thus appearing immediate, shocking, entertaining and informative. In today's society the media has become our firsthand experience for our source of information, opinion, and news about the world. While there is some debate as to how much influence the media actually has, there is some evidence to suggest there is some connection. The controversial topic between mass media and the fear of crime can be explained by the influential aspects of the media, moral panics of crime and the fear of victimization.
Rapist. Murderer. Robber. Sex Offender. Burglar. Gang Leader. All names that are given to African-Americans. But, rarely do we see them described by their positive attributes. The documentary, 13th, talks about mass incarceration and racial bias against African-Americans. The racial bias is growing more and more; it has transitioned from slavery to the police brutality and clear hierarchy known today. The media plays a big part in this because they portray blacks a certain way, giving negative and incorrect impressions to their viewers. The over-publicity and exaggerated exposition of African-American crimes by the media have contributed to the mass aggression and discriminatory beliefs towards them.
Marshall McLuhan’s and Lawrence Alloway’s writing looks at how technology, such as radio, tv, etc., affects the world and how mass media affects culture through its opinions, art, and political influence. Their thoughts, though somewhat difficult, are similar to the current reality and therefore easier to relate to. In their collective writings they discusses five key points: technologies as extensions of ourselves, the electrical age bringing a global embrace; sense ratio and the impact from technology; the artist’s role to model coping with change, and humanities understanding of the artist's role.
Media plays a big role in society these days. Whether it be letting society know what is going on the in the world today or something as simple as updates on current life on social media.

Uttara (2016) defines mass media as a communication medium which used to interact or communicate with large amount of citizens of different languages. People receive different messages through communication devices every day, such as TV, newspapers, and magazines. People received pictorial massages in the past. Nowadays, those devices become high-technology media. One thing that all of us agree upon, is that media become an inseparable element of our life.

Mass media are the primary component of modern society. People customarily consume countless hours of television, movies, and surfing the net where they see examples and expectations of what men and women are supposed to be. Advertisements and magazines inform us of how we are supposed to look, relate to one another, and live. The influence of mass media manifests itself into our routines, our purchasing decisions, our politics, our opinions and emotions, and almost every other aspect of our everyday lives. This tremendous influence most certainly plays a colossal part in how we view gender as well. June Cleaver was the ultimate example of the nurturing matriarch that was supposed to stay indoors taking care of the home, and Edith Bunker was shown as what a dependent and passive wife was supposed to be. At the same time, men were shown as having the opposite characteristics. You had Clint Eastwood, Ward Cleaver, and the Marlboro Man exuding the strength, aggression, breadwinning characteristics of "real men". Boys and girls, men and women believed they were to identify with these roles.
