I read the essay of Diana Kendall "Vicarious Living, and Conspicuous Consumption" very interesting. She portrays the reality of our media influence on people and how media helps us to see upper and lower class differently. They just donot represent upper and lower class situtions but they make our minds as they like. no doubt, people try to copy the celebrities and characters repesented in the media. Media is representing more voilence programs and people are getting more violent because of this reason. She is true that media shapes our society and our thinking. We see and analyze things through their eyes.
Moreover, " Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt" by Kilbourne is true. The main point in her essay is that Media is playing an important role in discriminating women against men. Media portrays women as an object and a inferior thing, while represents men as superior and respectable. The media makes people think women are responsible for any bad act happens with them by men. The media makes women a bad reputed while prevents men from being bad reputed even if they act immoral.
