Now, the question arises: Do mass media always affect our approach to reality? Most certainly not. There are some people who stay indifferent to ideas presented by media. They stick to their opinions and they will not change them under the influence of public opinion. These people are individuals and they do not believe in all information published in press or broadcasted on TV. Sometimes they feel superior in knowledge, take into account all aspects of a given issue and observe everything from a certain distance. Such people live in their own world and seem to ignore most disasters and misfortunes. The borderline between reality and fiction is clear for them. They watch political debates without deep emotions, they do not treat advertisements seriously, because in their opinion the media are commercial and have to make a profit.
