Ever wonder how Hitler came to power? Well, keep reading and you might learn a thing or two. In this essay I talk about the effects of media on humans. Disclaimer: there are many more effects than I put in this essay these are just a few. In this essay I argue that modern America as a society is full of conformist because of how easy it is to brainwash people, social media influence, and finally magazine influence.

Another test was done where they took 40 women and asked them how often they think negatively about themselves. 1 person said they never think negatively about themselves. 9 people said they rarely think negatively about themselves. 12 people said they sometimes think negatively about themselves. 16 people said they often think negatively about themselves. Finally 2 people said they always think negatively about themselves. This is significant because only one in forty women said they never think their overweight while double that think they’re always overweight. Good Job! Magazines you make people think their fat. They do this by giving people something to chase after and people are not satisfied until they caught the thing they're chasing. This relates to Anthem because the world council gave these people “models” to look up to and chase that perfect image.
In conclusion, I believe that modern american society as a whole are a bunch of conformist. Due to the fact of how easy it is to brainwash people, Social media influence in everything, and finally magazine influence on body image. I firmly believe that these are just a few of the tactics that Anthem’s World council used in the fight against the “evil ones” to get that initial group of people together in order to shape their society how we see it in
