Was , is , should mass media [be] used to intentionally shape the attitudes of people? If so, who should have that power? Government? Divorced 30 year old screen writers? Popular demand [free market]? I can see how it can be useful, and how it was used in WWII to get women to work, then to be stay at home moms when "the boys" got back. But now what messages are there? Are they good? Is this the reason there is a perception that girls have to do all this stuff to look good before they go out in order to feel good about the way they look [be it true or not]?
