The media can influence drastically. For example, if you were on instagram and saw that somebody had a cute haircut, and when you kept looking on instagram, you saw a lot of people had it. This might influence you to get that haircut, this is because normally when we see people doing something, we want to do it to, just because everyone else is doing it. And if there were people trying to create a political movement, they might influence this with media such as the news. I really hope this helps!!!
