3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading, that we have not already discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

One concept from the reading that I found to be interesting was the cultivation theory. The theory states that individuals come to accept the televised world as an accurate reflection of the real world pg. 306. The theory also states that it has long term affects. I thought this theory to be very interesting because it holds truth. Many people actually believe that what they see on television is an accurate representation on what the world is really like. People in different countries who might view American shows might believe that the shows are a representation on what goes on in American Society. The book also states that the images and representations are built up and in our minds throughout a long period of time like the dripping of limewater. I enjoyed reading about this concept.
