9. The mass media refer to print, radio, television, and other communication technologies. “Mass” implies that the media reach many people. “Media” signifies that communication does not take place directly through face-to-face interaction. Instead, technology intervenes or mediates in transmitting messages from senders to receivers. Furthermore, communication via the mass media is usually one-way, or at least one-sided. There are few senders (or producers) and many receivers (or audience members).

20. Audience Reaction to Pro-Choice TV Dramas  Pro-life women from all social classes think abortion is never justified and reject the mass media’s justifications for abortion.  Pro-choice working-class women who think of themselves as members of the working class adopt a pro-choice stand as a survival strategy, not on principle.  Pro-choice working-class women who aspire to middle-class status distance themselves from the “reckless” members of their own class who sought abortions on the TV shows.  Pro-choice middle-class women believe that only an individual woman’s feelings can determine whether abortion is right or wrong in her own case.

22. Summary of the Four Theories  Functionalism identifies the main social effects of the mass media: coordination, socialization, social control, and entertainment. By performing these functions, the mass media help make social order possible.  Conflict theory offers a qualification. As vast moneymaking machines controlled by a small group of increasingly wealthy people, the mass media contribute to economic inequality and maintaining the core values of a stratified social order.  Interpretive approaches offer a second qualification: audience members filter, interpret, resist, and sometimes reject media messages according to our own interests and values.  Feminist approaches offer a third qualification. They highlight the misrepresentation of women and members of racial minorities in the mass media.
