what are some mass media effects and their impact on society?

Mass media effects impact people’s behavior in society. The bullet theory determined this statement. However, the theory was said to have “vastly overstated the effects of mass communication.” “The dynamics of effects generally are gradual over time.” Violence has a significant effect that impacts society immensely. Children are impacted mostly by violence in the media because they begin to think it’s okay. Cultural and behavioral effects of the media also impact society. The rise of cultural effects in the media has developed as the media opens up to and in different countries. Also, behavioral effects are caused by advertising in the media. The idea that we are almost, or are, being brainwashed as consumers impacts society greatly.
