The media is a primary influencer in many people's lives. The media would be the bourgeoisie because they are the owners of the means of production. This power allows the media to tweak the views of people through whatever method they seek. For example, now that the year 2012 is coming closer, more and more films are being created about the end of the world to trap people into believeing that the world is ending in 2012. The people influenced by the media are the proletariat and they are basically, the workers who only work for their own labor. Some members exist in a state of class consciousness where they understand that someone is trying to oppress them and they challenge the bourgeoisie. People that exist in a state of class consciousness would be Amish people and other people that do not use radios, TV's, or computers.
