ridiculed them. Watching this film and thinking
about what those children went through at
Columbine and what the survivors saw is

Makes Me Question Media Media Things

First of all, my definition of the "cone effect"
is this: a theory in which all media content is
exaggerated then sent through a publication or
broadcast that carries advertisements to
individuals with different perceptions leading to
a 'perceived media reality' which is incorporated

are told how to act, when to cry, and when to be
tough from a very young age. These traits are not
only bestowed upon them by their parents, but by
movies, music and government of the past and
present. ? For many straight men, homosexuality is
