 * D**. How do you think that media influences the way in which you live your life? Give examples of this.
 * Media can influence the way we live by creating gossip, stories, crazes, fads, and even new lifestyle decisions. Some examples of these would be if some celebrity wore a new dress or t-shirt and a blog talked about this new fashion and when a billion or so people read the blog they started wearing that shirt, then that would be mass media influencing our lives.**
