Television

This seven minute video talks about the potentially negative effect that media has on the innocent minds of young children. Media not only blinds young children, but it influences us adults as well. However, I think it is important that the adults, and only the adults should be the role models in young children's lives, not media, or in this case, television. Young adolescent is the age where children are still developing, and learning off of what they see, and questions new things that they are exposed to. This is where the media expositions becomes embedded into their behaviors. This video goes on to explains the negative effects it has on young children in many different aspects such as violence, inappropriate sexual behaviors, unhealthy habits, obesity, and so much more. After watching this video it should promote parents to really take into consideration what it is that their children are being exposed to brought by the media... AKA TELEVISON.

  1. The video has some interesting content, but some is iffy. I don't believe that the supposedly subliminal messages mentioned reach kids who have no reference points to attach them to.
