A child can impact their own acculturation indirectly with constant social media exposure. When children are on social media for a prolonged period, they are more likely to expose themselves to content that their brains aren't ready to process. For example, social media influencer, Cardi B who is known for her explicit lyrics and her job as a stripper has a lot of influence over little kids. According to Stars Insider (2018), "Kids are growing up listening to Cardi B talkin bout little b**** you cant fwm if you wanted too like d**n shorty you only 6." Social media influencers indirectly impact a child's acculturation because when a child is exposed to them at a young age, they are more likely to look up to them as role models. Cardi B lives a perfect life on camera which inspires young girls to be like her. Influencers pretend they are living luxurious lives on social media, which is completely far from the truth, but children are unable to understand that. This is an example of indirect acculturation because it shows that mass media can influence what children believe, even if what they see or hear isn't true.
