Expert Solution

Cultivation theory by George Gerbner posits that long-term exposure to media can substantially affect how people perceive the real world and how they conduct themselves in various instances (Snow, 2020). This theory is concerned with the long-term exposure and eventual continuing implications of social media consumers’ perception of social reality. Using a Christian lens to analyze this theory makes it possible to access its compatibility with the various Christian values and its substantial potential consequences on individual social media consumers and the large society.
