How media can effect us

 Media is a very powerful tool, we all realize this. If we did not then all of us would be most likely in a different major. I know that Professor Leeper has been saying this, but I think that after sitting down and actually processing what he said means, I understand. My sister is a vegetarian because of a video showing the lackluster treatment of animals inside of the slaughter house. The images must have really stuck with her or she would still be enjoying a hamburger today instead of  a seven dollar microwave meal that fits her dietary needs.   Media is so powerful is can alter how we perceive a subject, which is why all of the politicians have all of these ads up on T.V. I mean that makes our job easier, we don't have to convince people to go watch the television. We just have to convince them what we made is worth watching. All of us kind of have this incredible power at our fingertips. To alter a person's opinion, we have to choose what that means to us and how we want to use that power. You know what they say,  "With great power comes Great responsibility."
Now what should we do with it?
