One way media can be seen as damaging is through cultivation theory, developed by George Gerbner, which argues that long-term exposure to media gradually shapes how audiences see the world. For example, people who watch a lot of crime shows may start to believe the world is more dangerous than it really is, known as “mean world syndrome.” This shows that media can distort reality and increase fear, supporting the idea that it has negative effects. However, not all audiences are affected in the same way, as individuals may interpret media differently based on their own experiences.
