In Brave New World society has viewed other people as important or unimportant due to there height. In our society, people with great physical appearance have been viewed as normal or weird. In our society teenagers and adults try to achieve that "perfect" image of themselves due to influences of the media. For example, the brand Abercrombie & Fitch is an influence of the media. The pictures that Abercrombie produces to get people to buy their clothes are mostly: topless, muscular, tall, blonde hair, and white complected. This gives off an idea that in order to look "cool" or "attractive" you have to wear their clothes or just by wearing there clothes brand you would automatically be attractive and fit in with society. In Brave New World, Bernard has always been insecure about his height because he has an image to keep up. He is an Alpha-Plus and yet he can't seem to fit in or get the respect he deserves since he isn't like the other Alpha-Pluses. The same situation is applied in our society today, you see little girls wanting to be like music artist because they have fame, fortune, and a good life.
I think that, yes, media messes with people's heads. The media influences people of all ages to what clothes to wear, how to look (appearances), and even what you should like.
