Purpose

The purpose of this DeCAL is to inform and educate students about the media’s desensitizing effects on their views of men, women, children, sex and violence. By examining media content and different forms of media, ranging from advertisements, TV, magazines, movies, music and video games, we will examine how the media manipulates and distorts our attitudes, emotions and values.

Children and Media

Hi everyone,

Thank you for coming and participating in the discussion on children and media. This will be an online forum where you can leave comments and we can continue thinking and talking about how the media has desensitized us (especially with our children).

Question to think about and/or discuss:
Is the loss of innocence from media's desensitizing effects from the media even a problem? Are we just overreacting?
