There are many aspects on how movies or television affect peoplefs behavior such as violence, consumption and fashion. In my opinion, there is no way to be released from this influence.
The most obvious consideration on this issue is that movies and television effect greatly on consumers. One example is the advertisements in movies and television. I am one of the typical consumers easily affected by the advertisements. Once I see the attractive products in television, I cannot help running into the shop to attain them. I should not be the exception. All in all, people are easily affected by the advertisements. The advertisements can be a powerful weapon for companies. That is why the advertising industry works out.
Still further, the fashion of the actor and the actress in movies and television determines the fashion trend. People, especially teenagers sensitive to the fashion trend follow their favorite actor and actress. For instance, I pay attention on Gwyneth Paltrowf fashion. Even though I know that I cannot become graceful and beautiful like Gwyneth Paltrow, I still try to follow her fashion.
We must also note that the expression of the violence is sometimes a big concern because of the influence on people, especially on teenagers and children. It is very sad to admit the fact. However, we have to admit that there is some people who simulate the violence in movies and television.
These examples clearly show that peoplef behavior is easily influenced by movies and television. The power of mass media is enormous. Therefore, media representatives should understand this great impact of movies or television and people cannot be too careful about this powerful and widespread grip of movies or television.
