The answer is symbolic interactionism.

Explanation:

Symbolic interactionism is a sociological perspective that states societies are created through the interaction of its members, which in turn create symbolic "worlds" or perspectives that shape their culture.

These symbols may be created by the media, for instance, by the way they represent other cultures or role models for society.
