  • "Although a great deal is known about the effects of mass media on other adolescent behaviors, such as eating, smoking and drinking, we know basically nothing about the effects of mass media on adolescent sexual behaviors,"

      Accuracy - author cites her own sources in article
  • But to hazard a guess based on clear evidence that media representations influence teenage eating, smoking and drinking habits, adolescents are almost certainly affected — negatively — by sexual references and images from television, in movies and video games, in music, in magazines and on Web sites.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Relevance - the information is related to my topic because it answers how media affects the youth which is negatively. parents are the intended audience for this article
  • There is growing concern that youth are accessing media in environments isolated from the supervision or guidance of parents or other adults,"
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      parents have no idea what their children are doing when they aren't around them
  • Despite the advent of V-chips, movie ratings and televised warnings of appropriateness for young people, American teenagers have no trouble getting access to graphic sexual presentations.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      kids can get access to things that parents might not want them seeing, whether it be asking an older sibling or asking a friend
  • "Approximately 47 percent of high school students have had sexual intercourse. Of these, 7.4 percent report having sex before the age of 13, and 14 percent have had four or more sexual partners."
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      having sex at a young age only seems to be more common now then it was before which is something that parents should be aware of
  • The effect of abstinence-only education pales by comparison with the many graphic messages that portray sexual activity — especially unprotected sex outside of marriage — to be a part of our culture as normal and acceptable as eating a Big Mac or drinking a Coke.
  • Each year, nearly 900,000 teenage girls in the United States become pregnant (340,000 are 17 or younger). The rates of sexually transmitted diseases are higher among teenagers than among adults, and 35 percent of girls have been pregnant at least once by age 20.
  • Data suggest that sexually active adolescents are at high risk for depression and suicide,"
  • "Early sexual experience among adolescents has also been associated with other potentially health-endangering behaviors, such as alcohol, marijuana, and other drug use."
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      doing one bad thing seems to lead to doing other bad things
  • The research indicated that adolescents who watched shows with sexual content tended to overestimate the frequency of certain sexual behaviors and to have more permissive attitudes toward premarital sex.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      sometimes what is portrayed on tv about sex and other topic is not as realistic as one may think
  • The sexual content of TV is pervasive and increasing.
  • "On average," it continued, "each hour of programming popular with teens had 6.7 scenes that included sexual topics."
  • As for the Internet, one national survey of 10- to-17-year-olds found that one in five had "inadvertently encountered explicit sexual content, and one in five had been exposed to an unwanted sexual solicitation while online."
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      the internet sometimes tends to leads the youth to websites that are not meant to be seen by them 
  • The report called for better studies to assess the effects of sexuality in the mass media on adolescent beliefs and behavior
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      research is constantly going on about these various topics that may help us better understand since it still isn't perfect
  • The New York Times Company
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Accuracy - the article is published in a major newspaper, therefore the author herself sites the different information in her article to support her information
  •  
    This article summarizes how media negatively affects children. It specifically talked about how mass media influence sexual behavior among the youth. sexual behavior beginning at a young age has led youth to doing other bad things that go along with it whether it be smoking or drinking, etc.

How TV Affects Your Child - 0 views

  • The average American child will witness 200,000 violent acts on television by age 18
  • While watching TV, kids are inactive and tend to snack.
  • Studies have shown that decreasing the amount of TV kids watched led to less weight gain and lower body mass index
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Limit the number of TV-watching hours: Stock the room in which you have your TV with plenty of other non-screen entertainment (books, kids' magazines, toys, puzzles, board games, etc.) to encourage kids to do something other than watch the tube. Keep TVs and internet connections out of bedrooms. Turn the TV off during meals. Don't allow kids to watch TV while doing homework. Treat TV as a privilege to be earned — not a right. Establish and enforce family TV viewing rules, such as TV is allowed only after chores and homework are completed.
  • TV and other electronic media can get in the way of exploring, playing, and interacting with parents and others, which encourages learning and healthy physical and social development.
  • Have your kids watch public television stations (some programs are sponsored — or "brought to you" — by various companies, although the products they sell are rarely shown). Record programs — without the commercials. Buy or rent children's videos or DVDs.
  • TV is full of programs and commercials that depict risky behaviors (such as drinking alcohol, doing drugs, smoking cigarettes, and having premarital sex) as cool, fun, and exciting. And often, there's no discussion about the consequences of those actions.
  • But despite its advantages, too much television can be detrimental: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts are more likely to show aggressive behavior but also fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. TV characters often depict risky behaviors, such as smoking and drinking, and also reinforce gender-role and racial stereotypes.
  • And although they've banned cigarette ads on television, kids and teens can still see plenty of people smoking on programs and movies airing on TV. This kind of "product placement" makes behaviors like smoking and drinking alcohol seem acceptable. In fact, kids who watch 5 or more hours of TV per day are far more likely to begin smoking cigarettes than those who watch less than the recommended 2 hours a day.
  • The first 2 years of life are considered a critical time for brain development

    Children that are exposed to television before the age of two, and more than two hours a week are more likely to see violence, risky behaviors, and are more likely to become obese. There is a rating system to help parents restrict their kids from watching specific programs. This article also teaches parents good habits to use while watching TV.

The following is bookmarked from the above URL search: "*The more sexual content that kids see on television, the earlier they initiate sexual activity, the more likely they are to regret their early sexual experiences, and the more likely they are to have an unplanned teen pregnancy. *There is a strong causal connection between youth exposure to violence in the media and violent or aggressive behavior and thoughts. *Children are exposed to nearly 300 alcohol commercials per year. Similarly, more than 80 percent of movies depict alcohol use. *The motives movie characters convey for smoking can adversely affect adolescents' real-world smoking risk."

  • Five years ago, msnbc.com published a weeklong series that tried to get at Americans' deepest feelings about privacy. Back then, 60 percent of users agreed that privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."
    • amanda mast
       
      relevance: the statistics highlighted are important to how people feel about social media privacy today. In 2006, 60% of users said their privacy is slipping away, I wonder what they are now thinking 10 years later. Is their privacy gone now? The audience is anyone with social media.
  • Alessandro Acquisti, a behavioral economist who studies privacy at Carnegie Mellon University, said he's not surprised that battle lines are being drawn around use of social networks.

      accuracy: the information from this article is coming from different studies and quotes with one from Alessandro Acquisti who is an economist who studies privacy at Carnegie Mellon University, he gives personal examples. No grammar or spelling errors.
  • What is privacy? Much confusion in any privacy discussion stems from a lack of clear definitions. When we asked msnbc.com readers five years ago to say what privacy meant to them, we received dozens of submissions. Among them: Fear of being watched, fear of government intrusion, worry over companies tracking purchases, or technology such as GPS tracking their physical movements. The most common, however, was simple, and very American: "The right to be left alone." That echoed the definition of privacy given by former Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis back in 1928.

      the reason for this article is to see what other people believe privacy is. They asked many people what their definition of privacy is and it is important that we know this. That way, we can learn how to receive that privacy by cleaning up our social media sites.
