Interactionist Theory and the Functionalist theory about mass media influence on youth?

Question

Can someone please help me with this and explain.

THank you.

Answer 1

mass media has a profund influence on youth outlook, behavior, education, practices etc.  as the media keep on changing and innovating, the youth are influenced and the flow is also the reverse.  every time youth acquire new style etc, the media watchdogs wld know and update / upload  their images, stories etc.  they go on looking for new trends so as to keep youth captivated.  and this is rather successful.  

hence we see both interaction and functional the symbiotic relationship between youth and media
