Your identity could be made up of the characteristics that define you, like your ethnicity, nationality, social class, gender, sexuality, religion, interests, or values. But identity is more than just boxes to be checked off\u2014it is who you are as a person. I think that the media has a big influence on identity. Media can influence the type of music you listen to, the clothes you wear, the people you surround yourself with, the candidates you vote for, and the opinions you express. Media can also influence other people\u2019s perceptions of your identity. For example, the Nazis used Anti-Semitic propaganda (film, newspaper, radio, posters, etc) to villainize Jews and create an \u201cinferior\u201d identity of Jews. Propaganda was also used to venerate Hitler, cultivating his identity as Germany\u2019s ideal hero coming to save the country. The identities of Jews, Hitler, and the \u201csuperior\u201d Aryan race created a culture in Germany in which the dehumanization of Jews was commonly acceptable. Media is a very powerful tool to influence identity, and often identities are subject to history, culture, and power. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think identity is a combination of how you view yourself and how the world views you.
