Hah. I already commented on my own website about the fact that everyone is individual. One person sees something another doesn't... Hell, I can be quite abstract in my way of thinking but it helps to rationalise and question my own judgement.
Why would you question your own judgement ? Because to not do so means that you don't truely know why you do something, you do it just because you do or you believe it right. In the end, Society is built around fitting in and no matter what people say, it's true. There are different levels to this but essentially, if you don't fit with the rules, your doing something illegal or potentially abusive.
Does the media help to set these rules of society ? Without a doubt. After all, who else can broadcast to the millions that Weapons Of Mass Destruction is the reason we are going after Saddam, or that Bin Laden was the person behind the group behind the 9/11 attacks?
I certainly can't... can you ?
