Television plays a big role in shaping the way we see our country. Here are some ways it does this:

1. One-Sided Stories: Many shows highlight certain parts of culture, which can make us forget about other important parts of our national identity.

2. Same Old View: Some TV shows show the same ideas over and over, making it seem like there is only one true way to be.

3. Money Matters: Sometimes, making money is more important than sharing the true story of our history.

What Can We Do?:

• We should support different kinds of stories that show all the different voices and experiences in a country.
• Viewers should think critically and ask questions about the stories they see on TV.
