Abstract	:	Scope and Method of Study . This thesis investigates the various implications that mass media has on social perceptions and political relations between nations, and the effects that traveling abroad can have cross-cultural relationships. These topics are discussed and compared against current theories and arguments, as well against this study's survey results from over four hundred university students from over 50 countries. Findings and Conclusions . The findings suggest that the time a person spends getting the news, as well as the sources, are very influential in how we perceive those not of our home countries. The findings suggest that American media, in particular, is very biased especially in regards to coverage of sensitive current events, like the war in Iraq. Furthermore, the study shows that worthwhile travels abroad are beneficial in breaking-down cross-cultural stereotypes that biased media creates.
