Subliminal Messages In The Media

In today's world we are watching and soaking in media without realizing the purpose and how it affects our actions.An individual that uses subliminal messages in the media to gain power can be harmful to society, because it tries to control our desires, persuade our pattern of thinking, and to change our actions. Using subliminal messages in media to control our desires is harmful to society for the reason being that many are affected mentally. For example supermodels are portrayed extremely skinny and tall, the definition of “Beautiful.” That message is plastered all over high end magazines and social media. “..research is increasingly clear that media does indeed contribute, and the exposure to and pressure exerted by media increase body dissatisfaction and disordered eating.”
Big examples of subliminal messages is when it is election time. People and money do everything in their power to change how people view the other candidate. In this past year the election with Trump and Clinton was a great example. ”Donald Trump has been accused of being an Elite, a Nazi, and a Homophobe among many other things. The mainstream media is trying to portray him as evil and sadistic, even comparing him to Adolf Hitler.” The people try their hardest to connect him to the worst and then is plastered on social media, so then this triggers society to believe that what is being said and controls all the thoughts about Donald
