This week in sociology we learned about the agents of socialization. The agents of socialization are people and groups that influence our self-concept, emotions, attitudes, and behaviors. Basically, they shape us as a person. There are so many groups that can shape us such as family, neighborhood, religion, day care, school, peer groups, sports, work, etc. This week in sociology we also had watched a movie called, "Killing Softly 4". This movie made me want to rethink what kind of impact the media has on the viewers. After my rethinking process, all of it made sense. The media has a huge impact on everyone but girls in general. This is because the girls model photos get edited so they look perfect when in general they look like nothing like they did before. As younger girls develop their role models, they want to look like a certain model and grow up to look just like them. Well guess what? That's impossible! You simply cannot look exactly like your dream looks like you wanted to. This is what the media has done to us and how much power it really has. When watching this video, I found this unbelievable and couldn't believe my eyes.
