How can human traffic be a methaphor for the effects and the gratification model of media?

The effects model is the hypodermic model. This sees the audience as duped and doped. Human traffic can be a metaphor to the gratifications model, which could mean in this case the idea of drug use can be over thrown and can be looked at as an ok thing to do and over throw the dangers of taking drugs, just the positives things of why the characters should take drugs . The hypodermic model is injecting the behaviour of the characters with the HUMAN TRAFFIC. In part of the film the characters are saying how they get confidence and can talk to complete strangers this is extremly dangerous as anything can happen to people taking drugs as they are vunerable.

  1. Do you think media and drugs are similar in they can both be injected and can alter the behaviour of people (the effects model)?
