C. Narrative Essay: Select one theory from the different media theories, and affirm by
presenting facts supported by the principles presented by the theory which you have.
I will choose cultivation theory, Cultivation theory is a sociological and communication framework to
examine the lasting effects of media, primarily television. It suggests that people who are regularly exposed
to media for long periods of time are more likely to perceive the world's social realities as they are
presented by the media they consume, which in turn affects their attitudes and behaviors.
Cultivation theory was first created by professor George Gerbner in the 1960s; it was later
expanded upon by Gerbner and Larry Gross in 1976. Gerbner formulated his paradigm for mass
communication in 1973 that included three types of analysis. The third type of analysis is the cultivation
analysis that is defined as the longitudinal surveys of people’s opinions on certain subjects with the key
variable being levels of media reception such as television viewing. This analysis is known as the
Cultivation Theory.
Cultivation theory began as a way to test the impact of television on viewers, especially how
exposure to violence through television affects human beings. The theory's key proposition is that "the
more time people spend 'living' in the television world, the more likely they are to believe social
Reality aligns with reality portrayed on Television." Because cultivation theory assumes the existence
of objective reality and value natural research, it can be categorized as part of positivistic philosophy.
In practice, images and ideological messages transmitted by popular media heavily
influence perception of the real word. The more media that people consume, the more their perceptions
change. Such images and messages, especially when repeated, help bring about the culture that they
portray. Cultivation Theory aims to understand how long-term exposure to television programming, with its
recurrent patterns of messages and images, can contribute to individuals' shared assumptions about the
world around them, this theory eradicates the wrong information about what happen in our country and
waken the people to open their mind in the reality, and we can make an impact to our community. Thru this
theory we can change the world become better place, and because of this theory it can correct the wrong
mindset and the idea of the person. And I believe that this is very helpful to us in creating the world become
better. cultivation theory was the third most frequently utilized cultural theory.
