First you must understand that everyone and every organization believes in different types of politics and depending on there cultural background have different ways to look at everything differently than you. As our world becomes more and more based on information from "mass media" it is natural that our world will have more cultural clashes.

I'm not entirely sure the two are related. Personally, I think the problem is this cardinal sin in our culture, and that is to never be wrong. People dread it terribly, and will spin and ignore and do whatever they can to avoid admitting they were wrong about anything. This is what accounts for the division in our culture. \nBut I could be wrong.\nFactors accounting for the formation of attitudes: the 2 big ones I can think of are the peer groups and information sources. Odds are if you're a liberal, you have liberal friends and listen to liberal news. Same if you're a conservative. And both groups are real quick to tell you how the other side is evil and destroying America.\nBut again, I could be wrong.

Is there a certain country you are looking for?  Here's a link I hope it helps.  If you need more info, let me know.  I have also been studying culture so I have a lot of resources depending on the situations or countries.

The medias portrayal of women.\nSimply put as long as there are ridiculously thin models splashed all over it will be a problem.

The mass media will argue freedom of the press and 1st amendment towards any legislation that is designed to curb/controll the mass media.  Based on case law, they would win.

1. 8\n\n2. Broad national culture\n\n3. Both. Some shows make positive portrayal, some networks seem to constantly make negative portrayal (fox news).\n\n4. Yes. By conscious and unconsious feedback.\n\n5. Yes. Portrayals of similary appearances and personalities in positive situations are validating.\n\n6. Big improvements. The issue seems tightly interwoven with broader racial issues in America - I don't see a quick fix.

Your premise is flawed.  Misunderstanding is not always the cause of conflict, especially among nations.

mass media law is the study of the American judicial system and its impact upon and interaction with the mass media dissemination of news, opinions, entertainment, education, and advertising.

With today's technology and demographic implosion,  the world has become a smaller place. We have a clash with other civilizations not understanding different cultures. Each culture differs in customs, traditions, behavior, religion and language. The idea that the Western culture wants to impose a Universal State in the world is impossible and not even war can make it happen. We are headed towards major destruction, not total, but something very drastic.

I think most of the domestic conflict starts through television. Spouses and kids spend too much time today in watching the idiot box than interacting with each other.Result a so invented generation gap. Parents dont know what thier kids think and kids dont know what is right and wrong.

Hey guys,\n\nI read your comments and agree with most of them, however, since I found this question under the “POLITICS & GOVERNMENT >> IMMIGRATION”, I figured I would stay on subject. \n\nThis is concerning. If history repeats itself (as it usually does) “The Media” can shape norms that provide a strong reaction from the general public, that can eventually motivate many forms of extermination. It can be dangerous when the role of the media is transformed from a neutral purveyor of fact, to a corporate sponsored monster that satisfies the psychotic and pathological appetites of the masses. \n\nThe basis for freedom of press is to PREVENT governments from regulating fact, to impose politically motivated information to the general public, and/or punishing those who surpass those imposed regulations. Disestablishing freedom of thought (via any media type) is the intention of manipulating the media. In today’s news, we are now seeing major corporations taking control of media sources and creating their own precepts and opinions on global and local issues (and yes even personal appearances as stated above). It’s becoming severe.\n\nSo with the oxymoron of freedom of press that we have in this country (and most others) the responsibility falls on the people to sift through the information provided and expose these tendencies. It is OUR responsibility to prevent these influences on the media that can lead to bogus information on very important matters like……Immigration Reform and the present situation our country is facing with the Mexican border. I doubt we will ever know the real issues by watching just the news. We can however guarantee the opinions we have are based upon what CNN or MSNBC has stated as fact.\n\nI suggest reading newspaper articles from other countries on these issues, and using the internet to understand Immigration Law and the legal ramifications of building an  armed wall to keep them out (or if you really think about it.......keep us in!) \n\nBe good guys.\nIt was nice talking with ya.\n\nThanks,\nAndre M

the media runs the show.

Media doesn't effect the Governement.  Government effects media.   Media exlusivly represents private interest and thusly only reflects values and ideas of a handful of individuals.

The constant barrage of media on this country. Be it TV, radio, cinema... The majority of people in this nation mimic whatever they see and hear.

Honestly, there is no way to sugar coat this...Negatively. With the help of our media and military actually.  While the military isn't at fault, their prescence upsets the locals.  The media doesn't help either because they bribe the locals into doing things they normally wouldn't like throw rocks at the Anchor for dramatic affect.  It helps their ratings.  Whenever I travel I met wonderful people from other cultures and I learn that what we know as Americans isn't so true anymore.  It is sad but I don't like for other cultures to view me as a bully for being an American.  I suppose that it goes both ways.  Unfortunate really.
