What TV media is selling to kids...

 There is an ideal life that is sold to today's society.  This ideal life is that people need to be beautiful, have a nice car, a big house, and a job that pays well in order to be happy.  This notion is not only sold by the companies who produce these things, but by people who are on TV.  An excellent example would be the MTV show, My Super Sweet 16.  For those of you who don't know, this show centers around a 15-year-old girl (or boy) who comes from a wealthy family, who (if a girl) for her 16 birthday gets to do whatever she wants and gets to have ridiculously expensive celebrations. Throughout the show, more than likely, the girl will make comments about boys, how she wants a Mercedez Benz, and many appearance-based comments.  Nine times out of 10, the girl will be pretty, have a huge party and get a brand new $80,000 Range Rover for her first car.  How do you think girls this age or younger respond to this?  They accept the ideas that are presented to them as normal and something to strive for.
