How does society Affect the individuals thoughts ?

Yea. It can. People can get brainwashed by the media and start to thtink things thats aren’t what they believe... including religion, diets, presidential elections, and other things. It can also cause stress, anxiety, and depression depending on what type of person you are. There are so many ppl with different personalities that are rude to others and make them have bad days. So yes society affects individuals and their thoughts.

Live TV disappeared from my life long ago, apart from major breaking news and the occasional sporting event. At first, with a video cassette recorder and later with a digital video recorder, I saved network and other programming to watch later, fast-forwarding through all the annoying commercials on the VCR and liberally pressing the 30-second skip-ahead button on the DVR. That was time-shifting by hours or days. Now, thanks to DVD rentals and internet streaming, I time-shift by seasons, even years, and the commercials don't enter the picture at all.

I hope this helps you
