I am a Grenade

In Croteau's piece on "Media and Ideology" the author addresses the role of the Media in ideological representation.  Croteau states that the media helps to "define our world and provide models for appropriate behavior and attitudes" (159).  Essentially, the author argues that the Media plays a large role in showing (not necessarily telling) us how to appropriately behave in this society--as well as the consequences that can occur if one deviates from what is appropriate.
