This website explained the various kinds of child abuse and the effects the abuse has on a child. Child abuse has a life long impact on a victims life. This article showed warning signs and behavior which contributes to the way a child acts after being abused.

When you think of child abuse you think of physical, sexual, or even verbal, but this article explains that nutritional neglect to a child is also a form of child abuse. When parents fail to provide their children with appropriate food, it becomes a medical and child protection issue. The effects of nutritional negligence can lead to malnutrition, obesity, and in extreme cases even the death of a child.

This website gave a lot of examples of violent children's media. It was really interesting and disturbing to see how much violence there is one TV shows aimed towards children. Violent scenes can cause children to become scared of the world, to act aggressively, or to desensitize them towards violence. Television really affect children, it socializes them in huge ways, especially since on average children watch 15,000 hours of television per year, while they only spend 900 hours in school.

I felt that this article is very accurate in today's society. I think this because it talks about how everyone in the media is perfect, no one has birthmarks, scars or burns. Professor Gus McGrouther feels that there should be more fictional characters with deformities in the media. I agree with him in that there should be heroes and "smart people" in the media that are stereotyped as "misfits".

This article talked about the negative effects of television; it seemed very biased and gave negative examples of children viewing extreme amounts of television. Just like everything; if it is used in the wrong way or too much it can become a bad thing.

This article has been very beneficial to me in my research. I liked this website a lot because it showed me a different side of prejudicing against physical appearance. This article was focusing more on prejudices in the workplace and how these can effect whether or not people will get hired and a persons salary. This article also talked about both sides of the "prejudice battle" and how some prejudices have been taken to court and won, while others lost.

I felt that this article is very accurate in today's society. I think this because it talks about how everyone in the media is perfect, no one has birthmarks, scars or burns. Professor Gus McGrouther feels that there should be more fictional characters with deformities in the media. I agree with him in that there should be heroes and "smart people" in the media that are stereotyped as "misfits". I strongly agree with this article because I feel that it was well researched and the topice discussed are very relevant in todays society.

This web site was very useful because it provided the information in thorough detail with opinions as well as facts. The information was easily accessible, as well as clear to follow and understand. Gender roles are seen as a part of life and this web site describes and explains how these stereotypes aren`t followed by everyone and they should not have to.

I agree with the concepts that this website talks about. In our society today it is consitered cool to be in a gang, or to be a tough "gangster" The media potrays a slightly glamourous life that comes along with being in a gang which may be why so many are drawn towards joining one. I agree that male gender roles are part of what makes gangs so dangerous.

I agree with many of the Points talked about on this website including that by showing the female characters as beautiful caretakers and often needing to be saved by the prince this gives a strong impression to girls about gender roles. It is the same with boys who see male characters as being strong, masculine and aggressive portraying more negative stereotypes.

This website discusses how the Disney Princess movies reinforce gender roles for young children and also how watching these characters is a way of socialization. I agree that disney movies are a large part of socialization for kids, but there are other more important socialization influences in a child's life.

This website informs the reader that bullies have been a problem for a long time rather than just being a new issue that has recently popped up. It also tells the different forms in which bullying can be expressed in. As well, it has a real interesting section on the information that a researcher named Barone has gathered, and what he thinks about it.

This site explains how bullies are a common problem in todays society and how many children spend their school days depressed. It is a very reliable source of information for people who want to check out more of the statistical side of bullies and bullying. I think the information presented in this document is a real eye-opener.
