Actually this video concerned me a lot. To me, this video makes it feel like kids grow up way too fast and they don't even to live the life of a child. It is scary to think you have to parental everything your child watches to make sure he is not being corrupted.
I feel it is only going to get worse as time passes, so if someone doesn't do something about it, who knows what will happen to our society. With the media attacking such a young population, it's not easy to know if the kids are able to tell a lie from the truth.

I thought that this movie was also a bit concerning. I think that the media has a very large role on the development of children, maybe even too large of a role. I do not think that this is a good thing, rather than a bad thing, because the children grow up learning lies like you said and they wouldn't be able to discern the truth from fake. I think that parents should have a greater input on what their child views when he/she is growing up in order to protect their development and allow them to develop into their own person.
ReplyDeleteYour argument is a good one based on the video. Teh media is completely warping the childrens lives. It is making them think a different way, and act just like everyone else. Have you thought about the other side. The fact that the media teaches. When kids are affected by so much media, they learn the accepted values of the dominant culture. Without media, it would be harder for them to learn how to fit in. Your post covers the main message that the video is trying to get accross, but this is just another thing to think about.
