These are:

The view that exposure to the mass media makes people think that what they see there represents the mainstream of what happens in our culture - Agenda setting
The idea that the media define what is important and what is not by which stories they cover - Social learning
The idea that the media provide role models whom we imitate, perhaps even without realizing it
