Abstract
To a certain degree, the actions of individuals have an effect on their environment. However, our surroundings more dramatically influence our everyday experiences and shape our personalities. Two of the most popular cultural mediums, film and television, extend to mass audiences who eagerly absorb all the messages they have to offer, especially the appealing topics of social taboo and political controversy. John fiske and adorno examine both the obvious and subtle effects of visual media, providing some similar and other contrasting theories on its portrayal of reality. fiske argues a theory that more accurately relates to modern times. fiske depicts a visual media defined by content deliberately chosen by conscious directors that is manipulated into the message they wish the public to receive. After comparing viewpoints, one might appreciate the amusing coincidence of today's most popular form of American television: Reality Television.
