Too an extent, but bad examples, sights sounds that are in conflict with the basic personality can be sequestered. Otherwise my speech would be overloaded with profanities from my time hearing them. Still in use but have mostly confined them to situations of surprise or anger.
As the Bible records: A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but” by what comes out of it. Matt 15:11

Taking in with the mouth is quite different than taking in with the eyes and ears.
Just crude examples - watching porn, or listening to rap “music” or whatever is popular now. Definitely affect the mind and deeper levels of awareness. Which in turn cascades into affecting choices, actions, behaviors.

PS - or watching/listening to propaganda, ads and so forth. Or the truth!
