Cultivation Theory

For this assignment, we were asked to reflect on our current dispositions, beliefs, behavior, attitudes, and values and how any of these naturalized us.

Okay, so when I was a kid I watched "Mean Girls"


The movie shows how these girls 
maintain a social standing by being "bitchy" and mean all the time. They have a burn book to prove it. 

As I watched the movie, I remember realizing that I have to be mean, maarte and purposely pissing someone off to gain respect, friends, and to have a high social position -- so I did. I started saying "ewwww" in the smallest of details (even if there was nothing to be disgusted about), instead of gaining friends, I pushed them away. I had to act like this even if I wasn't. Eventually, the attitude became natural to me. I tend to be like a mean girl at times. Especially when I am not in the mood. I'll be frank and overly offensive but compared to when I was younger, I could control myself much more than before. :) *yeah \m/*
