The cultivation theory states that television

influences our views on the world

The more TV people watch, the

more they believe what they are

watching is valid

This is directed at YOU

YES

Heavy watching of TV effects the viewers’

attitude, ideas and perception of reality.

Well….People are misjudging how the world really

is. Violence shown on TV scares people

and makes them believe the world is more

dangerous than it really is. Stereotypes

are created and teenagers become more

sexualized.

Criticism?

The theory has been blamed for oversimplifying. Critics say that our views of the world are not only influenced by television but other things such as:

Other forms of media Experience Interaction with

people

It is important to remember that in order to

learn about the real world, you should just

explore it on your own!

So take a step back……
