What Do People See as a Good and Meaningful life?

People base the meaning of a good and meaningful life on their personal experiences and what they view around them. Everyday people are exposed to different points of view on what is considered to be a good and meaningful life. The media has a huge impact on what is socially accepted as a “good” and/or “meaningful” life. No one person can help but to be influenced by the world they live in to think a good and meaningful is to be "successful and rich" or to "be oneself," it is those types of "brainwashing ideas" from birth that makes a person think they know what a good and meaningful life is and how to live one.

My definition of a good and meaningful life is, sad to say, mostly based on what corporate culture has told me what a good and meaningful life is, along with some folk culture. I say this because it is completely true, probably from the moment I was born corporate culture has had the largest impact on the way I live my life. Corporate culture has shown me the "good" way to live a "happy and problem free" life. I believe corporate culture has affected me through the television and the shows I watch, also through music and magazines. I watch, listen, and read about all the ways I can "make my life better..." and these various medias inform me on how this is possible.
