it bombards men and women with "ideal body" images. men are made to feel as if they have to be slim and muscular (which leads to many men using steroids) and women are made to think they must be thin and slender but acheive the impossible by being both skinny and having large breats and backsides (leads to numerous eating disorders).
Sociologists study the impact of mass media on health through various theoretical perspectives such as the cultivation theory and agenda-setting theory. They analyze how media messages shape public perceptions of health issues, influence health behaviors, and contribute to the spread of health misinformation. Sociologists also examine the role of media in shaping health policies and promoting health disparities among different social groups.
Mass media communication has the potential to negatively influence individuals who are vulnerable to the power of suggestion.

I belive that mass media has affected our society both positively and negetively. It has programmed our thoughts,how we dress and how we relate to one another.Certain images shown on television influence kids to misbehave,disobeying parents under the impression that its cool.Disobediance leads to distruction,that leads to teenage pregnancy, drug abuse etc.On the other hand mass media can persuade young kids positively:if you tune to programmes that motivates positive force.
One factor that does not influence mass media is the personal opinions of individual consumers. While public sentiment can shape media content over time, mass media is primarily influenced by economic pressures, regulatory environments, audience demographics, and technological advancements. Individual preferences may vary, but they do not directly dictate the overarching trends or editorial decisions made by media organizations.
Mass media refers to the way the media reaches the masses. In today's time, it is possible for someone to get news at any time of day, and are able to choose what sources they get it from, having an influence on what they think.

Increased television viewership and the print media are evidences that proves that mass media influences public education. The internet penetration of the internet is another clear evidence.
