Discuss the mass media’s influence on public opinion, political socialization, and government accountability.

Our lesson this week discusses the mass media’s influence on public opinion, political socialization, and government accountability. Music is also very effective in influencing political participation and citizenry.

The discussion assignment this week is to select a song from 1960- current and present a post on its political theme. The discussion should contain substantial content…The introduction should indicate the song’s era, artist, and representative ideology. Why do you think the song was written and released at this particular time? How did it effect the political socialization? Did it have a lasting impact on our nation? Just a few components to keep in mind when formulating an analysis! Have fun and be creative in your analysis!! I do not want a biography of the song or artist. Answer the questions I have provided here, in addition to more information from your resources…Remember, no Wikipedia. Utilize your textbook and incorporate some concepts from our chapters to connect with your post!
