Sea of Persuasion


In our society, people are constantly trying to convince you of something. Whether it’s improving your life, buying goods, changing your views, helping out a specific community, something is always trying to get you to see it their way. The mass media is all around us, in our magazines, books, music, movies, art, news, shows, there’s always an agenda underneath. Personally, I don’t feel like I am as suckered into mass media anymore. The younger population is easily convinced because a lack of education and understanding on most subjects. However, with time that can easily change unless they’ve already imbedded the same views into their socialization. What really persuade me are my peers. I find that those who I am close with deeply persuade me. I also find that being on the line of poverty, you are more aware of the choices you make. You become careful to listen to the facts and find holes in stories. Most of all, it honestly depends on how well those messages relate to your morals.
