This guild is for individuals who are aware and concerned of how culture and people are shaped by the media. The intent is to discuss current events and news topics that relate to the public culture or the media, such as music, advertising, movies, celebrity culture, medicine, plastic surgery, magazines, reality shows, etc. Also, discussions can be focused on specific areas that the media targets, such as weight, appearance, sex appeal, fitting in, etc. (Political topics, given their relevance to culture and current events, are welcome as well.) The main question we want to examine is this: how does the media shape our perception of ourselves and the world we live in, and is it healthy or damaging?

This guild is for intelligent discussions only. No chatspeak or poor grammar, please. No flaming, trolling, or other obnoxious forum tendencies (though good old fashioned debates are welcomed XD). Anyone who is genuinely concerned about these issues and has a desire to discuss them seriously are welcome here.
