The media has influenced all levels of society that bear witness to it. For the most part people don't fully realize the amount of social learning we receive from advertising, but, in reality, the majority of concepts and notions we have about certain things are in directly result of advertising.
Social learning is the collective experience of a particular society that learns the same things in the same manner: in this case advertising. There are two theories of the effects: strong and limited. limited effects are more selective are required active participation by the audience while the strong theory states some concepts and ideas are injected right into our psyches.
Examples of limited effects are more common place. typically influence by peer groups and the result of the multiple mediums people have access to. the Strong effects can be more closely related to propaganda.

2nd post
The concept of Hegemony is one that is very applicable especially in our globally linked world.
Hegemony is the result when competing forces finally come to an end with a clear and decisive top dog: the Hegemon. This entity now has the power to exert its will over the lesser entities that vied for the position. That will can be any number of things: ideals, values or just the things the Hegemon wants to promote.
An example of a Hegemon is the United States when dealing with world politics. The US promotes in economic ideology of Capitalism and anyone who disagrees is a terrorist. The US fought off the Soviet Union for the position and has resulted in the USSR's disintegration. The US's reach touches all corners of the global is the main facilitator of global politics.

my first blog post!
first and foremost, from this class i want to gain insight and from that insight some inclination into what it is i want to do. i know how disenchanting these colossal introductory classes can be, but hopefully that won't be the case. i actually want to get into sports broadcasting. i would love to be a camera man for soccer overseas while i support myself through grad school in some literary field.
i dont really have any favorite blogs (i dont follow people on twitter either), but hopefully this video will appease you enough to let it slide.
