<u>Cultivation Theory </u>coined by George Gerbner (1993) “ mass media has impact on people and it
is merely wholesalers of social roles in industrial societies. “They present a
steady, repetitive, and compelling system of images and messages”. (Gerbner,1993)</span></span></h2>

Mass media
is a way people can gain guidance on social roles, it also has the power to
manipulate our views and give us information whether accurate or not.</span></h2>
<h2 style="margin-left: 21.6pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">*
When we are
unsure about something we often just take in the information given to us by the
mass media without questioning it (magazines, television, movies,
advertisements etc.) and this information is stored and is used as social
guidance to categorize societal roles.</span></h2>

Media tends
to emphasize youthfulness, beauty, as well as physical and emotional health.
The mass media is catered towards children, teens, adolescents, and adults but
not the elderly. In this way the elderly are portrayed in media as nonexistent
to our society and as if they do not matter.</span></h2>
<h2 style="margin-left: 21.6pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">*
On the other hand, when the elderly are
portrayed through the mass media, unfortunately it is in a way that does not
depict their true representations. They are represented to the public in
negative ways which in return confirm the stereotypes against the elderly</span><o:p></o:p></span></h2>

She has found that “Elderly women are shown much less on Television then elderly men, “only one in ten characters over 65 is a woman”. (Delloff, 1987)</span></span></h2>
