The media plays a major role in society and how we act. The media is a powerful tool that can be used to change our mindsets, thoughts and behaviors, it has perpetuated many forms of prejudice and discrimination. For example, when a certain stereotype is portrayed in media, such as male superiority over female, it normalizes the whole idea. In the workplace females are paid less, females deal with more domestic abuse and sexual harassment in the workplace. The book states how society influences who we are, what we can do, how we act, what we believe or think about, and—central to our purposes here—how we interact with others (Rusciano 141). Although we may think it is just a show or it is just a song what we watch and hear has a major impact
According to Dunfield’s (2014) framework, pro-social behavior comprises of three subtypes: helping, sharing and comforting. The negative state that a pro-social behavior targets is what forms the basis of this categorization. Accordingly, alleviating a negative state mark by an instrumental need requires helping behavior, while an unmet material desire requires sharing behavior, and emotional distress requires comforting (Dunfield, 2014). Identifying these subtypes is helpful for conceptual clarity, for disentangling the socio-cognitive skills underlying pro social behaviors, and for a complete understanding of the developmental trajectory of pro-sociality.
Growing up my parents raised me with values and principles to follow throughout my life. However, society proved to be a lot more complicated than just values and principles.

In order to understand sociology we must take a broader view in order to comprehend why we act in the ways we do.
