Media control how and what we think

The media does not control our behavior but it can control what you know and that can influence your behavior and how you think. It can do this if you get lazy and get all your news, info, and impressions of the world from a few similar sources. But then, if you do that, it's not the media controlling you. It's you surrendering control of your own thought processes. With a fair amount of judgment, intelligence, and curiosity, anyone can become totally immune to any media bias or "control." All you have to do is question, think, verify stories you consider suspicious, and read read read widely. Many magazines, many books, many sources other than TV. And as to those commercials that probably control your behavior more than any news, turn 'em off. Be a citizen, not a consumer.

Can I have brainliest please? :)

To a certain extent, yes, the media is controlling some of our decisions. We use media for hours on end and within that media we are being told what to think is important, instead of having an objective point of view and deciding ourselves what we feel is important.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The Answer is Imagery.

Imagery in the poem is used here to express ideas about nature.

Explanation:

<em>Imagery</em> is one of several literary devices available to writers and poets.

When an author sits to write a story, he or she doesn't simply write what happened. Instead, He or she uses what are called literary devices which are <em>narrative techniques</em> that add texture, energy, and excitement to the narrative, grip the reader's imagination, and convey information.

There are hundreds of literary devices at the disposal of a writer. Some of them besides Imagery are:

Simile
Metaphor
Symbolism
Flashbacks
Foreshadowing
Motif
Allegory

In the poem above, the phrase "<em>beaded up on the window</em>" gives a vivid image of the after effects of the storm. It also tell us from what perspective the writer observed the storm.
