Summary
40. Narratives in the Media-
According to Michel de Certeau, stories rule our lives due to the media. We are exposed to this media from the time we get up in the morning until we go to bed. The media imprints various information in us, or at least various beliefs. (imprinting: is a way that the narratives we see/hear affect us)

41. Television is a Dramatic Media
According to the A. C. Nielson comapny, the average person watches 4 hours every day. Children ages 2-7 watch 3.5 hours a day of tv, while kids 8+ watch nearly 7 hours a day. People who watch television sometimes the characters on television are their friends or have a parasocial relationship. Television can create illusions in our mind, as if it fills in where certain relationships lack.

Today I watched "Sabrina the Teenage Witch". It was very entertaining in a humorous way.
