Vicarious Living

Framing Class, By Diana Kendall
This paper places strong emphasis on the media's destructive influence on society by distorting the lines of class and race within it. The media has a profound effect on what we see, read and hear and uses that to distort our perception of society. The author essentially exposes the medias power to socially destruct reality.
This paper is based on a very ethical appeal discussing the blurred separation of upper class
vs middle to lower class and race or ethenticity. the author supports her argument with numerous reports, statistics, and sources appealing to peoples logic, but driving at very ethical issues. exposing that people have become victims of consumerism driven by super media industries that view the public as a payday and bombard them with advertisements and make them desire things they don't need.
This paper is very effective covering all ends of the issue, and supporting it with sources. The author does a terrific job exposing this consumer disease with very influential rhetoric.
