The white male is used a lot more today in media than many would expect. It even kind of seems normal to most people. You rarely see more groups of different ethnic groups or women in television series, music videos, or even video games. It seems like media that is being exposed to children constantly is almost a giant fantasy for every kind of morals and movements, that have been created in the real world, to be discarded and forgotten about. To many parents this almost seems like a kind of a destruction of the things that they have been trying to teach their kids from toddler years. This kind of destruction of morals and movements is kind of created through a wide spread ignorance and straight up turning the other cheek towards the change. It seems like media is moving back to the old ways of repression slowly moving closer and closer to the line that is set by the people that control what is being seen and heard.

Parents or Pop Culture
Always the conflict between Pop culture and parents have been around sense the creation of T.V. and the increased the emphasis on pop culture that television tends to have most of it's focus on. Especially on a lot of controversial people of pop culture. It seems that most media today is getting their ratings from focusing on the negatives of the world rather than the positives in the world today. This kind of focus seems to be what the media perceives as the way to keep watchers. Also the media seems to be doing a lot of focusing on making someone perfect. Such as the woman with the hourglass figure and shiny, silky hair with perfect complexion. Today it seems that media has started to become unrealistic even to say a fantasy with real life characters. Pop culture tends to take a kind of move towards how the old ways of thinking. Such as focusing on a white male as a dominant figure.
