摘　　要：This article is related to a new theory called ＂The Three Dimensional Spiral of Sense＂ or ＂Theory of the Three Interactive Levels.＂ This theory is the result of 30 years of research work of National Council of Scientific Research （CONICET） and it arises from findings in six disciplinary complimentary areas： Education, Health, Science, Media, International Relations, and Interculturality. It is basically a macro-micro-meso-maero approach which consists of a kind of sui generis Systemism which recovers interactions between individuals, organizations/institutions, and macro-contexts. Such interplay does not overlook the individuals or the contexts. It consists of a comprehensive, holistic approach of the complexity, even though it lays foundation for anthropology, and is different form the traditional ones. It is the fkrst study in Latin America. Here, we focus on a study developed in the field of the media. We test hypotheses included in the psycho-socio-communicational paradigm, which emphasizes the long-term cognitive effects of the media and the role of the psychosocial subject as recipient： the hypothesis of ＂Agenda-Setting.＂ The methodology, on the one hand, is the one used within the context on the ＂Agenda-Setting＂ theory. The topics that are most relevant to the media and among university graduates are compared in order to detect the level of influence and homogenization of the ＂mind maps＂ of highly educated individuals who are exposed to media information. On the other hand, Dr. Aparicio＇s approach, referred to above, involves an original qualitative analysis of the three levels in self-sustained interaction. The core objectives were： （a） Determining the degree of impact of the press in the mental patterns and detecting the levels of homogenization on university graduates; （b） Analyzing the relation between political-institutional ideology and the news selected by the graduates （institutional identities vs. personal identities）; and （c） Ascertaining the person
