Hypodermic Needle/Magic Bullet Theory

This models idea stems from the belief that the media is like a 'syringe' or 'gun' and injects/shoots an idea or picture into us, the audiences heads, which are designed to make us react in some sort of way whether that be screaming, jumping etc. The model also suggests that audiences are passive therefore not able to prevent the influence the mass media has over everyone.
