Twenge states, “To many older people, it’s funny. But too many younger people the main consumers of the reality shows on, say, MTV it shapes their views of the world” (pg 7). Narcissism is shown often, and without hesitation on reality TV younger viewers are being conditioned by the depiction of narcissism. Slowly, the excess amount of narcissism seems normal.

Although this may be true, he is quite successful in the Serious/XM uncensored platform where he acts as third microphone on the Opie and Anthony Show.

In fact, the only people that would go on this show are low class and don't have a lot of money. Also, the show is all fake wannabe actors. As, I analyzed Jerry Springer, I realized that it does all seem fake. I realized that the more fights on the show, the more kids will watch the show. However, I was still guilty of watching it as a kid, when my parents weren't home.
All Mildred wants to spend money on is another television screen that she doesn’t even need. Bradbury shows that in his society television is more important than spending time with other people. People can be easily manipulated through advertising, as Millie had been, watching countless hours of TV all day, never developing true self-awareness. Where one may live a life though never really having lived, but just falling victim to watching actors perform on a screen. As the existence of technology has grown more apparent people have become unable to function properly for themselves.

Personally, my family, my age, the media, and my education is what has been the most influential when it comes comes to political socialization. My families views on on government are extremely different on both sides because they are both unwilling to listen to the opposing argument.
