Children, Adolescents, and the Media

Great book. Used it for class. Easy to read but a bit outdated

I am only reading this since I have to for school. Over all I find the book to be terrible it is just the authors use of opinions found by other research all put into one place... I dont find the book really saying much except to parrot back someone elses hard work.

in good shape

This is an alright book on helping raising children from a philosophical point of view. Not too interested in this book outside of my classwork.

Was a little beat up, but nothing less than I expected.

Like it

Was in good condition

This book is outstanding, and reveals how and why children have become more violent, more depressed, and less healthy. The media influence children without a doubt, and since much of mainstream media is filled with superficial, negative values, dysfunctional sexuality, and violence, the book makes clear why society is caught up in a downward spiral - at least in terms of public health and happiness. Every parent, teacher, and person concerned about social values and dysfunction should read this book, which explains why America is so sad, and how to reverse the trend.
