Almost all facets of our lives are affected by media, including our emotional and moral selves, and our lives pertaining to family, romance, friendship, and work. Media content, consumption, and use touch on virtually all aspects of our social lives – including how we think of ourselves and others, and how we understand, create, and maintain relationships.
