Hypodermic Needle Theory

The media has always swayed people and their opinions, sometimes even without even knowing it. Some examples are:

- the attacks on Paris and other countries.
- the lack of reports on Ebola in 'small-world' countries.
- politics related reports being biased. (Donald Trump)
- celebrities and reports. (Curtis LePore and his girlfriend vs Sam Pepper)
- Katie Hopkins and her opinions in general. (Mass walk-out in Brunel Uni)

Passive audience...
- don't question anything usually
- are seen as 'weak' and easily influenced

Active audience...
- question media
- are involved with the media around them
- have an opinion of their own (usually strong willed)

Using Photoshop, I made a small image with what I learned with the Hypodermic Needle Theory.
