<\/a><\/p>\nMedia, it matters; it impacts the way we view and perceive life, the way in which we interact with others, and even how we view and perceive our own self. In fact I\u2019d argue that a large portion of media marketing is geared towards making us (the consumers) feel worth less than others if we don\u2019t purchase their product. They create the problem and then sell you the solution (e.g. \u201cYou\u2019re ugly so buy this make up;\u201d \u201cyou\u2019re not man enough, so buy this truck and drink this beer\u2026\u201d). The problem isn\u2019t you, and the solution isn\u2019t their product; the problem is them, and the solution is to cut them off and out of your life.<\/p>\n
