Media Controls
... ownership, owner wealth, and profit orientation of the dominant mass-media firms; (2) advertising as the primary income source of the mass media; (3) the reliance of the media on information provided by government, business, and "experts" funded and approved by these primary sources and agents of power; and (4) "Flak" as a means of disciplining the media.1 Each of these filters takes a bit of the true reality out of the information and eventually leads to a misinformed public.

This being true, we can still make general definitions for key concepts in sociology. Socialization can be explained the formation of a person's attitudes, bekiefs, behavior, etc. through the influence of their environment. Roles are exactly that. The roles that people are assumend to play. Where people work or what they do in their free time are all roles. Roles are also expectations. Norms define what behavior should or should not be.
