Is what we think really our own thoughts?

Is what we think and what comes out of our mouths really what we think? We read so much, see so much and hear so much. Is the media taking over what we think? I think it is. We are conditioned into believe what we believe is true, we come into this world know things, knowing what is right and what is wrong. Now I am not saying that only media is coming into our head, but it is also our own parents. If it was not for them many of the things we believe in, would not exists in our lives as a “right” or “wrong” thing to do. But hey it has already been done. The media, television, and gossip is getting into our heads and controlling what we think; So many people, teens, and adults that do not do any activities stay home and watch television, or they read magazines, as you can tell nothing really happens to them but make them sacred or believe what they see or read, they are asleep. Not literally asleep, but they are asleep of the truth; they can not awake from believing everything they hear or see. This is a major problem. Now some people are awake! They do not necessarily believe everything thing they hear, read about, or see on television. I for one do not see very much television because I am always busy with club volleyball. For that I am not MEDIA CRAZY! And I’m awake of the media; I am aware that there are problems in the world, yet I do not really see the television and believe everything I hear. The television makes it seem when there is a problem the world is going to end. So many individuals trust and believe in their televisions, and they end up getting what they want, which is because when the media has their own information so they can twist it in every single way they want, making it not totally true.
