(D) Feedback

Correct Ans: (A)

Explanation:

Selectivity theories focus on how people actively engage with media. They do not passively absorb content. Instead, they choose and interpret messages based on personal preferences and experiences. Culture plays a crucial role in this process.

People from different cultural backgrounds perceive media differently. Traditions, social norms, and shared experiences influence their interpretations. For example, a news report or film scene may evoke different reactions in diverse audiences.

These theories include three key processes: selective exposure, selective perception, and selective retention. Selective exposure means people prefer media that aligns with their beliefs. They avoid content that contradicts their views. Selective perception happens when individuals interpret messages in a way that supports their opinions. Selective retention means people remember content that reinforces their beliefs while ignoring opposing ideas.

In todayโ€™s digital age, these patterns are even stronger. Social media and news platforms use personalized content algorithms. These algorithms reinforce existing viewpoints. As a result, people engage more with familiar perspectives. This can strengthen group identities or create divisions.

Understanding selectivity theories is essential for media professionals. It helps them create content that reaches diverse audiences. Recognizing cultural influences can also lead to more inclusive and effective communication strategies.
