It
means that children are going to be affected by the barrage of sexualization and violence flashing across television sets
and movie screens. The consequence of these media presentations primes the
minds of children everywhere and the more viewing, the greater the priming. Therefore, assertiveness in a child can be media inspired. In other
words, those that engage in lewd and violent behavior likely saw it
role-modeled on television, computer, and movie screens!
The multi billion-dollar media and advertising industry have inculcated representations
of humans as sexualized, angry,
vindictive, manipulative, shallow, disrespectful, and violent. Screenwriters
are outdoing each other, and the stakes are raised every year to escalate the
sexualization and violence and grab your attention both in
theaters and television. Does it seem reasonable to assume that students come
into schools with a sufficient dose of negativity and confusion deep in their
psyches when actors role-model decadent behaviors
daily?
