The Power of Media Essay
Media has the supremacy to influence millions of individuals through countless formats. Media is everywhere in our daily lives, in television,
motion pictures, and radio, influencing what society consume to what society wear. "Media is a very powerful tool capable of mobilizing

On April 6–26, 1999 there was a random sample survey done to 1001 parents of children ages 2–17. Parents were asked 34 different questions
regarding their opinion on television, the v–chip technology, and the T.V ratings system. The Kaiser Foundation and Princeton Survey Research
Associates (PSRA) designed the survey. Based on the survey, 62 percent of the
