In today’s lesson, we explored how life events are portrayed in the media and their impact on individuals, focusing on comparing personal experiences with media representations. We discussed common life events like marriage, divorce, and the birth of a sibling, noting that social media often presents a skewed, false image of reality. Influencers may create unrealistic expectations, leading consumers to misunderstand these events and their true implications. The discussion emphasized that media often overlooks the negative aspects or complexities of life events, instead favoring a positive portrayal, which can mislead audiences.
