Those three TV actors are accepted as the most popular and most attractive ones in those days. It is both funny and tragic to realize their gestures and attitudes and the characters they play in TV series and movies. Those TV shows is probably the exact example of what Richard Wright subjected in his story "The Man Who Was Almost A Man". Just like that little adolescent boy, boys exposed to see those images of man who are always agrassive, tough, strong and most essentially engaged with violence.
It is like smiling of a men is something inappropriate. I observed for a long time some of my male friends whose whole behavior are changing after thursdays which is the day one of those popular shows be showed. They sharply become more aggrasive, more prone to fight with other people and the way they look are more tough. The desire to hold the power is one of the most dangerous feeling of man that imposed to them by media. Labeling people like man, woman or Muslim,Cristian, African, Chinies, skinny, fat, loser, popular, tall shorth, beautiful, ugly, dividing them classes groups always have one purpose. Lets make brains busy so they could not realize what we are doing.
I am not telling that media is always an enemy for mankind. But they have a huge effect on people and society and they basically shape our brains mostly in a bad way.
I heard this sentence from a TV show and I think It was about the 80's political fights in Turkey : "Since were too busy with fighting each other, we did not have time to read and learn other people's ideas."
Do we need those labels?
