Most of us know that media is constructed but there are a few that think that media is showing us the real deal. A few examples of this are TV shows and the internet. TV shows try to put in a little bit of realtiy to make the show seem more real, this could be adding real tools on the show CSI for example. We know that shows are not real because in the opening credits it says who the show was wriiten by and the names of the actors. The internet is very bad for making some web sites seem real by not saying that the general public can change them at any time. Sites like wikkipedia can be altered by anyone yet peole still use this site to do reports even though the facts that they are getting may not be true. These creations of media have a bad effcet on people since some can not distinguish between what is real and what is not. These people belive what the media has created because they have not experianced the real thing and the media is their only source to find out about it. As well the shows are meant to be convincing and especially for little children it would be hard to tell what is real and what is fake.
