How does the media corrupt the minds of youngsters?

The media can corrupt the minds of young people by presenting topics in a biased way. Some advertising appeals to the material desires of young people (and adults), and shapes a certain kind of value system based on materialism, and an artificial, unhealthy concept of attractiveness and well-being. Many programs produced for young people are designed to grab the audience's attention in order to keep them coming back, and influence them to keep buying the sponsor's products. So young people might think that they are seeing a glimpse of the real world on television, and shape their ideas of the world accordingly, when in reality what they are seeing is designed to keep them on the consumerism/materialist treadmill.
