                Aly Weisman begins this article by asking this question “Do you ever wonder what the actors on-screen are actually smoking or drinking?” Weisman states that actors do not use real drugs or drink real alcohol, and they have their tricks to make it look like they are really smoking or drinking. The powder they snort is usually used to bake cakes or herbal bud. Weisman claims that we may see some actors feel dizzy after snorting, but it is the influence they need, and is totally legal. Weisman argues that most of the stuff actors use are fake, we do not need to worry about this.

Summary and Analysis
Riddle, Karyn E. “Cultivation Theory Revisited: The Impact of Childhood Television Viewing Levels on Social Reality Beliefs and Construct Accessibility in Adulthood.” Abstract Management, Conference Management and Research Search Engine, 2009, citation.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/2/9/9/4/5/p299457_index.html.
Riddle explores the extent by which television viewing during childhood affects one’s social reality beliefs as they become adults. The study involves 207 young adults and the cultivation theory used to test how the organization, storage and retrieval of long-term memory creates a scale for the assessment of both the past and the present. The predictor variables include exposure to violent television fiction and violent television news. The dependent variables include accessibility to violent constructs in memory and the social reality beliefs. The results indicate that there is some relationship between television viewing during the early childhood and one’s social beliefs as an adult.
The author for this article provides insights on the much debated topic of whether the content that young people are exposed to affect their perception of reality. Most people against exposure of the children to violent television shows have argued that such young people lack the ability to make rational judgments in their lives and may be influenced by what they see. As an example, some children are often tempted to practice dangerous moves made by actors in wrestling programs, while others imitate the lifestyle of their favorite actors. By conducting a survey of 207 young adults, the source provides first-hand information about the topic, and hence the findings can be regarded as credible. The study will serve as an important tool in future studies on exposure of television to children during their elementary stages of life. It is a good source especially for parents who desire to know how much of television watching they should allow their children.
