However, memory improves to 50 percent for those who see and listen something, and 90 percent if the person is actively involved in the routine or event rather of merely looking at it. This theory may be illustrated by giving careful consideration to the results of staged events involving audience participation.

Klapper’s Reinforcement Theory maintains the media can not give rise to views from scratch, but may be effective in reinforcing existent beliefs and complex mental states or bringing latent beliefs and complex mental states to the surface and advancing humans to act on them. In this theory, shows that even media not that powerful may influence people thinking but at least may lead the public to concern when it comes to the environs issues.
