Are you aware that the media is controlling you?

[Cat]

yes, to a point though. I don't feel the need to be a size 2 or go out and by the trendy clothes just because Paris Hilton is wearing it. My self worth doesn't come from what is socially acceptable, but what I feel comfortable in and who I feel comfortable being. I realize that there are times I want a particular food because I saw or heard a commercial for it, or I buy a shampoo because the commercial promised it would make my hair better. It's the people that allow media to dictate everything in their lives and are not aware of it, or don't care that are the problem. Unless we live in a cave where we don't hear or see anyone, or have any outside influences can we ever be free of persuasion.
