Limited Effects

In class we talked about the many effects that mass media has had on our society. One of the theroies that we talked about was the Limited Effects Traditions. I found this to be very interesting. We talked about the "Why We Fight" film series. From this they were able to tell that people became more knowledgeable about what was going on but did very little to change the opinion about what they saw. I disagree with that alot. I find that when I watch a movie or hear something on the news or read something on the paper or the internet, I find myself constanly changing my mind with how I feel about things. With the world always changeing and with everything that is going on it is hard to keep a constant mind set about something. I do feel that you still have the same basic opinion about a topic but as you gain more knowlegde, the way you feel about it and the opinon could become better or worse based on that face alone.
