Media and arts influence our society in ways we are often not aware of. Growing up surrounded by radio, television and movies, we often take the information and images they present for granted. Do you ever stop to think about how your interests have been shaped by what you hear and see through electronic media? Have you ever pondered on how your taste in arts or music developed?
