It is incredible how the media will mainstream our beliefs. For instance, I went visiting teaching earlier and we got talking about animals and how because of being mainstreamed by the media, to us some creatures seemed more dirty and evil, like rats. We both agreed that rats just seem more evil and dirty because that is how they are usually portrayed in cartoons and other media when in reality they are not much more dirty and certainly not more evil than some other creatures like a hedgehog (which is what my visiting teachee owns). I just think it is really interesting how the media really does change and alter how and what we think. So we should be very aware and careful what we watch!
