Connections between Pop Culture and Happiness

Whether its TV, comics, movies, or many other varieties of popular culture we are affected every day by the media we engulf. Many people become so attached to the TV shows they watch or the books they read they become emotional due to traumatic or happy things happen. For example when someones favorite TV show ends they might be very sad because a part of their life is gone.

Many people think that this is ridiculous because its just a TV show. That point of view is very ignorant. I think the reason people become so attached to these shows is because when someone is sad they want to think about something else that they think will make them happy. This can, but not necessarily, result in a dependence of this media to the point of the sensation of feeling addicted.
