applying david gautlett. david gauntlett says “Identity is complicated; everyone's got one.” Gauntlett believes that while everyone is an individual, people tend to exist within larger groups who are similar to them. He thinks the media do not create identities, but just reflect them instead. i believe this relates to attitudes presence online as it allows the audience to create their own identity with the help and support attitude provides them from example for some people it will be hard to be accepted as for how they are so the stigmas surrounding lgbtq+ members grow. making it again harder for people to come out and show off their true identities out of fear. but attitudes presence online helps debunk the stigmas such as 'being gay is a choice just change the way you think' and the horrible stigma around HIV and Aids.
people would use attitude to construct their own ideologies as it gives them clear paths to help them achieve the best them they want to be.
some comments on their most recent facebook post about Lady Gagas dog walker being shot reads, "I’m so pleased he is going to be ok. Also he is so lucky he is a dog Walker for Lady Gaga, otherwise he gets a bill after being shot to the tune of 70k. Thank god it’s not like that here. Terrible way to run the health care system." though this is very opinionated, no negative comments have been a result of this, in fact each and every comment suggests something abut bad healthcare within america and the amazing NHS we have in britian. though nothing was suggested about the NHS or british healthcare, it is clear that the readers and users of the facebook attitude group all share things in common surrounding britian. attitute has also suggested here that you can link up with people through mutual interests, opinions or hobbies as seen here.
applying Gerbner.George gerbner created the cultivation model, the Cultivation Theory suggests Television and media influences its audience to the extent that their world view and perceptions start reflecting what they repeatedly see meaning TV and media products are considered to contribute independently to the way people perceive social reality and will have an effect on the audience's attitudes and values.
attitude allows their audience to create their own identities and ideologies allowing them to live their life to the best they can.
