READINGS

 I think the audience for this website would be young adults (16-30). The reason for the young audience would be because they are interested in the clothes the website is selling. An opposing reading for this website would be old people as the clothes sold would not appeal to them.

Cultivation Theory

The main points of the cultivation theory are;
-sometimes referred to as the cultivation hypothesis or cultivation analysis
- Cultivation theorists argue that television has long-term effects which are small, gradual, indirect but cumulative and significant.

-Audience research by cultivation theorists involves asking large-scale public opinion poll organizations to include in their national surveys questions regarding such issues as the amount of violence in everyday life.

Scope and Application
Cultivation research looks at the mass media as a socializing agent and investigates whether television viewers come to believe the television version of reality the more they watch it.
