Question

Finding a main idea

Answer 1

Television is a cultural storyteller. It's programming both reflects the values and ideals
of American society as well as shapes the attitudes and beliefs of those who watch it.
Heavy TV viewers tend to believe that the representations on TV programming reflect
the state of the world outside TV, and thus develop perceptions about our world based on
TV information. Through patterns of inclusion and exclusion, television content sends
implicit messages about the relative cultural importance of different groups, behaviors,
and ideologies (Clark, 1972; Gerbner, Gross, Morgan, and Signorielli, 1994).
