Impact of media use on children and youth - 6 views

  • Impact of media use on children and youth
  • The influence of the media on the psychosocial development of children is profound.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      There is a large number of findings that show that media does influence youth
  • Still, physicians need to advocate continued research into the negative and positive effects of media on children and adolescents.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Research is constantly contiuned

  • Television viewing frequently limits children’s time for vital activities such as playing, reading, learning to talk, spending time with peers and family, storytelling, participating in regular exercise, and developing other necessary physical, mental and social skills
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Accuracy because this is clearly a true statement. If children are wrapped up in media, they will not go out and explore. 
  • Television can be a powerful teacher
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Can be both negative and positive
  • In some disadvantaged settings, healthy television habits may actually be a beneficial teaching tool (
  • The average child sees 12,000 violent acts on television annually, including many depictions of murder and rape.
  • Television viewing makes a substantial contribution to obesity because prime time commercials promote unhealthy dietary practices
  • Television exposes children to adult sexual behaviours in ways that portray these actions as normal and risk-free, sending the message that because these behaviours are frequent, ‘everybody does it’. Sex between unmarried partners is shown 24 times more often than sex between spouses (32–35), while sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancy are rarely mentioned.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      Many youths are not properly educated on what the outcomes are from committing unsafe sex
  • Television can also contribute to eating disorders in teenage girls, who may emulate the thin role models seen on television (8). Eating meals while watching television should be discouraged because it may lead to less meaningful communication and, arguably, poorer eating habits
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Currency because this information is updated and new. This type of information will lately change in the future in some way, but this article has updated it recently.
  • Commercials for healthy food make up only 4% of the food advertisements shown during children’s viewing time
  • On an annual basis, teenagers see between 1000 and 2000 beer commercials carrying the message that ‘real’ men drink beer.
  • One-half of the G-rated animated feature films available on videocassette, as well as many music videos, show alcohol and tobacco use as normative behaviour without conveying the long term consequences of this use
  • tend to believe what they are told and may even assume that they are deprived if they do not have advertised products.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      This causes parents to spend more money on what children want because they believe that if their friends have it, they have to get it as well.
  • A number of studies have documented that children under the age of eight years are developmentally unable to understand the difference between advertising and regular programming
  • The average child sees more than 20,000 commercials each year (12). More than 60% of commercials promote sugared cereals, candy, fatty foods and toys
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Accuracy because the information is giving reasonable data that has been researched and studied upon. 
  • Studies show that parents play an important role in their children’s social learning (44), but if a parent’s views are not discussed explicitly with children, the medium may teach and influence by default.
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      authority because this explains where the author has done the research and received this data. 
  • If children are allowed to be exposed to these media without adult supervision, they may have the same deleterious effects as television.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      parents must realize that they do play a huge role in what their child watches!
  • Music videos may reinforce false stereotypes.
  • Parents may feel outsmarted or overwhelmed by their children’s computer and Internet abilities, or they may not appreciate that the ‘new medium’ is an essential component of the new literacy, something in which their children need to be fluent.
    • Adrianna Czerlonko
       
      technology is constantly improving and parents should want to learn how to use the new technology so that they can keep up with their children and know what their children are doing
  • Music lyrics have become increasingly explicit, particularly with references to sex, drugs and violence.
  • Some video games may help the development of fine motor skills and coordination, but many of the concerns about the negative effects of television (eg, inactivity, asocial behaviour and violence) also apply to excessive exposure to video games.
  • Up to 75% of videos contain sexually explicit material (45), and more than half contain violence that is often committed against women. Women are portrayed frequently in a condescending manner that affects children’s attitudes about sex roles.
  • The effect of violent video games on children has been a public health concern for many years.
  • The Internet has a significant potential for providing children and youth with access to educational information, and can be compared with a huge home library. However, the lack of editorial standards limits the Internet’s credibility as a source of information.
  • Parents can use technology that blocks access to pornography and sex talk on the Internet, but must be aware that this technology does not replace their supervision or guidance.
  • The amount of time spent watching television and sitting in front of computers can affect a child’s postural development

  • Facebook data scientist Adam Kramer, of the Menlo Park, Calif.-based company, outlined what the company is learning as part of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology meeting in Austin. Its president, social psychologist James Pennebaker, of the University of Texas-Austin, says privacy is a big issue for the research world.
  • "Facebook especially, and Microsoft, is scared to death about privacy issues," he says. "A bunch of researchers have access to everybody's posts and Facebook is built on what's yours is private. They are struggling with the problem the same way as the scientific community."
  • Attorney and privacy expert Parry Aftab, of New York City — a member of Facebook's Safety Advisory Board — suggests that users shouldn't worry because the very large companies such as Twitter, Google, Microsoft and Facebook have privacy policies for users."The sites will never provide personally identifiable information unless they have the consent of the users. And there is legal recourse if they're using it in any other way," she says.

Media can bring about a change in the attitudes and beliefs of the common man. The persuasive nature of the content presented over media influences the thoughts and behavior of the general public. Media has a direct impact over the lifestyle of society.

      Currency: this article was posted on September 27, 2010 and has not been updated (or you cannot tell). This site is good for older facts to also help to see how far a social media site has come over just a couple of years.
  • In December of 2009 Facebook made one of the most controversial changes to their privacy policy. No longer could you have a nearly invisible account allowing only those you wanted in by default. A user's profile was now publicly searchable with most of the information opened up for all to see by default. Facebook users were not pleased. Now, this isn't to say that Facebook pages couldn't be public before (they could), it was more about the loss of the choice. And that was the truly scary part.
    • amanda mast
       
      Accuracy: facts like this contribue to accuracy because he did his research to find this information. This paragraph also has another link put into it that leads to another article where information was pulled from.
  • Realistically, today's article is more of a wakeup call to be cautious how you use the social-networking sites and other parts of the Web that ask for personal information. It's not so anonymous: it's more public than you may think at the time you sign up for that nifty site. Remember that the Internet never forgets: not only are there public archives, but once your information has been copied by other people and saved on their hard drives, you really have lost control over it.

Media Shapes Society - Journalism 3.0 | Sveriges Radio - 0 views

  • The little Vietnamese girl Kim Phuc ran away from her napalm-bombed village of Trang Bang, past the lens of cameraman Alan Downes, and into the whole world’s awareness of USA’s war in Southeast Asia. The Vietnam War became impossible to wage in the age of television.
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Authority and Accuracy: This was a live event caught on camera in Vietnam. It showed how real war is and the media exposed the world to what was going on at the time. 
  • FORM AND CONTENT. There’s a common logic in media: That which suits television is aired on television; if something makes a good headline, it’s placed on the front page of the newspaper.   In this way, media shapes society. Media technology determines the content. And the content in media determines images of society. But perhaps it’s not that simple. The interaction between technological, political and commercial forces can be significantly more complex
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Purpose: This is giving the reader a preview of what the webpage is about. Gives the reader the reason the content is important
  • The development of newspapers is closely tied to the emerging formation of political parties in Europe and North America. Henry Jarvis Raymond, a journalist and politician, founded the New York Times in 1851. He was a Whig, that is, he belonged to the political party that was the forerunner of today’s Republican Party, and the establishment of the newspaper was, in part, a political project.

  • A more reflective consideration of the relationship between media and society might find this simple marketing analysis lacking in substance. The Swedish media researcher Göran Bolin  writes, in a paper on libraries, that it isn’t “a question of society being ‘mediafied’ through the transformation of information but, rather, that society itself is enclosed in human communication, in the way we all communicate with each other.”
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Relevance: This explains how media and society intertwine with each other and how media researchers today still are looking at how it affects the world. 
  • Those of us active in media will look for the influence of new technology on media and media structure, not least because the effects in this area of society have been so tangible. The new technology affects media and media structure directly. In the next steps toward the further development of Internet society, changes in the entire production order could be the most important. The effects on media and media structure might then be more indirect—but not necessarily of lesser impact.
    • Kyle Palandech
       
      Relevance and Currency: This shows how the topic directly effects the individual. This information is fresh and new to our generation.  
  • As a counterforce, every soldier and citizen in a war zone has become a potential journalist able to report with both text and film. A cell phone is enough. And the reports can be distributed without being screened—or checked or authenticated—by a professional media company. The mobile [cell phone] changes journalism more than

Social Media Privacy: A Contradiction In Terms? - 1 views

  • Social Media Privacy: A Contradiction In Terms?
  • A 2001 UCLA report, for instance, found high levels of consumer concern over online privacy in general and credit card security in particular.
  • In a Euro RSCG global survey conducted among 7,213 adults in 19 countries, we found that 55% of respondents are worried that “technology is robbing us of our privacy”; the figure was above 60% in a number of countries, including the United States and China. Similarly, 61% overall agreed “People share too much about their personal thoughts and experiences online; we need to go back to being more private.”

  • Nearly half the sample (47%)—and a majority of millennials—worry that friends or family will share inappropriate personal information about them online.
  • “Facebook is a relatively young company. It’s not surprising that we found some room for improvement.”
  • Today, we happily share our date and place of birth, name of our first pet, mother’s maiden name, favorite movie or book, favorite color, first school teacher
  • Of even greater concern to many is the amount and variety of information being gathered about us without our explicit permission
  • these people typically are eager to share their thoughts via comment sections on news sites, reviews on retail sites, and in branded clubs and forums.
    • amanda mast
       
      it is amazing that 55% of respondents are worried of "technology robbing us of our privacy" yet facebook has billions of users and so does many other social media sites. If people are so worried, why do they have an account? 
    • amanda mast
       
      I believe this is Relevance, it shows many facts and statistics that explain why privacy is such an issue on social media sites today and could be useful when preparing a presentation or paper with these articles.

    The outrage was immediate: The Supreme Court decision that struck down restrictions on the use of corporate funds in political advertising, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, is "devastating to the public interest" (President Obama) and a "disastrous rollback" of campaign finance laws (MoveOn.Org) and promises a "windfall" (New York Times) of big-money television ad buys by groups like the U.S.

Users quitting Facebook cite privacy concerns - The Daily Beast - 0 views

    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Currency: This article is not too old or out-dated that it can be used as an useful source. It is 2014, so some researcher might bash it but I do feel the information is reliable and gives numerical statistic on what users were affected by Privacy dilemmas on Facebook.
  • Holly Ellyatt
  • "Although the Facebook quitters of the present sample represented only a very small amount of all Facebook users, many of them seemed to be concerned about privacy to such an extent that it outweighed perceived advantages of Facebook and eventually led them to quit their virtual Facebook identity," Stieger and his co-authors said in an article entitled "Who Commits Virtual Identity Suicide?"published on Wednesday.
    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Relevance: This information is appropiate enough to the topic because it points on the emotions tha these users have for Facebook. It appeals pathos and it shows the disadvantages that Facebook users have while trusting this site with so much valueable information.

  • A survey of around 300 Facebook users and 300 quitters of the social networking site by Austrian psychologists at the University of Vienna assessing what motivated them to use or abandon Facebook revealed an emerging counter-movement against social networking.
    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Accuracy: The information is coming from this author and it throws numerical information and that was found by an Austrian psychologist at a University which makes the argument a lot stronger because he specializes int he thought process and emotion of those 300 Fcebook users that felt as though they had to quit Facebook due to it harming their social identity.
  • Holly Ellyatt
    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Authority: The url that took me to more information about this author has that she is a producer of CNBC which is a good quality and she can hold a view on Privacy issues on television but I am skeptical of saying is she is credible to believe on Facebook users.
  • Among those saying they were quitting Facebook, almost half were leaving because of privacy concerns.
    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Purpose: The main argument here is the privacy issue on Facebook is what is forcing users to leave not what Facebook content provides. Its the lack of safety of one's profile, number, age, and location that Facebook has out there to the web. Then when it comes to cleaning up your page to get  job it never goes away.
  •  
    This Article focuses on Facebook users and quitters due to the fact of feeling as though it is "virtual identity suicide". This article goes on to prove the that fact that Facebook and other socail medias can be a danger to your future career goals. Users are left with a lot of vent-like post that are taken out of content and held against them in the end.

    This is current enough and very relevant. It would be nice to look at this idea over a couple of years and see if people are still fearful!

      Interviews with politicians who are aware of the changing political conditions.
  • If there is anything recent elections have proven, it’s that reaching out to voters online is not only important, it’s essential. The first notable use of social media to rally the voting community was during the 2008 Presidential election, when the Obama campaign took to the web to draw out the young vote. According to research by the Pew Foundation, 83 percent of 18-24 year-olds had social networking accounts in 2008, and two-thirds of those used those sites for political activity at that time.

      Articles is on how social media is playing an increasing role in elections.
  • Though social media has certainly changed the face of political campaigns, it has not replaced other traditional forms of communication. “It’s additive,” says Greenberg. What she means is that having a social media campaign does not mean politicians can forego television and radio commercials. Greenberg also emphasizes that in-person rallies and town halls are an essential component of campaigns and that these venues won’t go away just because people spend more time online.

  • 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

      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.

      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

      research is constantly going on about these various topics that may help us better understand since it still isn't perfect

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.
  • The first 2 years of life are considered a critical time for brain development
  • 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.
  • 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.

    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.
