Document Summary
Media: any type of communication, huge shapers and spreaders of culture, not always supervised. Despite amazing changes, concerns for children"s welfare remains similar. Radio (20s): educational and entertainment benefit, decrease in comm, increase in violence. More research, education, programs for younger people. 25% under age 2, 24% of 4-6 y, and 68% of 8+ have a tv in their room. Without a parent present 80% among 2-7y, 98% among teens. 70% infants/toddlers min 2 hours a day, vs 40m of reading. Unable to differentiate real and not real, nightmares. Values, stereotypes, and behaviour on tv show life as it should be. Certain tv shows increase violence because of observation. Young kids can"t tell reality form reality, can"t tell advertisement from the show. So many more tvs, less family viewing time. Effect the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality (piaget & cognitive dev) 10 can tell difference between scripted and non scripted.
