The Money, The Cars, and The Hoes

Media has a great power to influence. The media that one chooses to consume has a great influence on the ideals, thoughts, and opinions of an individual. As individuals we take away messages from media images that may or may not shape our lives. In my experiences the youth is often extremely influenced by the media that they are exposed to. These media which include, music, movies, television programming, and online sources of media, are often enriched with heavy sexual messages, glamorizing, fame, money, and sex. In Particular this same media also has an affect on the teenage boys that view it, and formulate opinions of women, and their relations to women.

To gain a better understanding of what type of media that teenage boys are exposed to, and what possible relationship this might have with the attitudes and opinions that they formulate about women, I interviewed two teenage boys. With the Conversation that I had with them, and the media sources which they mentioned, I discuss in my paper the ideals that these individuals have in regards to the media that they consume.
