What role does the media play in shaping our country and the minds of the people?

It plays a role by making people connected allowing them to be together and not have to be next to each other like if i'm in China and your in Arizona and i don't have the money to come to where you are id love to use social media to be able to be connected and see and talk to you. so its a great tool for the people and it allows the country to be connected with its people more. But people have a mind set that its a terrible thing that makes people less likely to go so a friend, i unfortunately have to agree that it makes it easier to do that. But it is better for people who cant get together from far away.
