Q: Today we discussed how popular culture media might be making us smarter, stupider, nicer, meaner, healthier, unhealthier, gentler, and more aggressive. In your blog post, address which of these changes to human behavior you believe to be the strongest in modern society as a result of popular culture media. Make sure you explain your answer and include examples.
A: I think that popular culture media overall is making us nicer. I think it can really open up somebody if they are shy. (Via: facebook, skype, etc.) The argument with that though could be that it could open up people a little too much. For example violent video games, tv shows, and negative websites on the internet can lead to people thinking it is okay to mock what they are seeing.
I'm not sure I see the connection between more communication and being nicer. Is it assured that people who talk more will automatically be nicer?
