What's your view?

If we are allowing media to determine a child's future, then we are are messed up than I thought. A child's behavior should be affected by the society, not by the portrayal of a society through media. We all know what media goes for,publicity and popularity. In that case, how come we could let a child have an ambition by a movie? He /she should grow after someone they were really inspired. But that should be a living breathing character, not a cinematic one.
Society should influence a child, not some actor.
