Cultivation Analysis Theory

This theory explains the media as a mind setter. It is evident in our world today that media has great influence over the people and how quickly people conform to the information they receive. Just a realization, it is clear that the upper class of this country are the ones into trends and the latest styles though it may be the availability of resources, it is them who always dwell on such. The lower class on the other hand is not so concerned about trends;there are only a few social climbers at hand. About the influence of media on sex and violence, it is actually the upper class who are deeply affected. We may see the poor with children but that is just half the story. They don't have the resources for safe sex but as you look into the conversations of the upper class, sex seems to be a big deal these days. As for violence, some of the poor commit such crimes out of survival instincts, but the ones who are not experiencing any form of poverty are also into such crimes. Take for example the Maguindanao massacre. It was a ruthless act of injustice and they were the kings of their land. We can conclude that indeed the rich are more exposed and therefore more influenced by media's nets of sex and violence and the poor are just too busy working their asses off to dwell on such subjects.
