<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">1.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“She
proved herself physically capable of bearing a child, but she had not mentally,
emotionally, or morally mature enough to handle it. She had, in a word shown
herself to be a teenager.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The author is trying to teach us that by
this teenager, giving birth and suffocating her baby by throwing him away in a
plastic bag is not the decision an adult would make. Even though this young
woman’s body was able to carry a baby to full term does not make her an adult.
She proved this by making such an irrational and drastic decision by not
telling anyone about her giving birth and then by murdering her baby. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">2.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“Being
a teenager is less and less what Erik Erikson proposed-a moratorium period in
which in which to find your identity. Teenagers are losing their license for
irresponsibility while, at the same time, they continue to be denied a role in
their society, other than that of style setters and consumers.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> I think what the author is trying to tell the
readers is that Erik Erikson came up with a period in time called the moratorium
period: however, because parents are becoming more and more over protective
because of social media and society in general. Teenagers are losing their
freedom and independence to go out and explore and learn who they want to
become. The reason teenagers are losing their license for irresponsibility is
because they are confused with how society wants them to act. For example, one
minute society is saying that teenagers are allowed to be irresponsible; this
is a time in which they are allowed to experiment and have fun. But then
society turns around and becomes upset when a teen does do something
irresponsible and society believes there should be repercussions for their
action. Lastly, society and social media shuns teenagers and are stereotypical
of them because people believe all teenagers do the same things spend money and
cause trouble. Society does not want to see the good things teenagers have to
offer and that is why they are denied a role in society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">3.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">“We
are more accustomed to thinking of contemporary teenagers as predators than as
victims, but there are good reasons to worry about them. Far more of them are
growing up in low-income households than was the case a few decades ago. They
spend more time on their own, today’s young people are able to be with their
parents ten to twelve fewer hours each week than was the case three decades
ago.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; tab-stops: right 6.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I think that the author
is saying that people because of social media, think just because teenagers who
live in low-come households are bad because of the type of people and environment
they live in. People also think that just because parents have to work more and
the teenager is on their own more that they are bound to get into trouble, but
most of the time that is not the cause. Teenagers who live in low-income
households are usually more mature and help their parents out by watching
younger siblings and taking care of chores and more grown up responsibilities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">1. “Children’s
cartoons, movies and literature are perhaps the most influential genre “read.”
Young people, unprotected by any intellectual armor, hear or watch these
stories again and again, often from the warmth of their mother’ or father’s
lap. The messages, or “secret education,” linked with the security of their
homes, underscore the power these text.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">I think a lot of parents let their children watch
these movies, cartoons, or read them literature is because parents feel it’s ok
because their children are too young to understand, why Disney movies, cartoons
haven’t shown a lot of ethnicity past.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Parents are letting their children be subjected to these different
movies, cartoons, and books. Another reason parents think it is okay for their
children to be entertained by this material is because parental figures feel
that they can shelter their children from the messages and secret education
that are being presented in the movies, cartoons, and literature by feeling
they don’t have to explain the material that is being presented.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">2 . "Many students don’t want to believe that they have
been manipulated by children’s media or advertising. No one wants to admit that
they’ve been “handled” by the media has no power over them-as they sit with
Fubu, Nike, Timberlands or whatever the latest fashion rage might be.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">I think that this quote is saying that by watching
television and reading magazines we all are influenced by media, whether <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we realize it or not. While we are watching
television commercials or reading advertisements, we see things that we really
like. Then we go to Target or the mall and purchase the products, movies, or
clothing and therefore media has secretly influenced us into buying these
items. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">3. “Early in the unit, I
show a Popeye cartoon, “Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves,” that all Arabs with the
same face, same turban, same body—and they are all thieves swinging enormous
swords. At one point in the cartoon, Popeye clips a dog collar on helpless
Olive Oyl and drags her through the desert. Later, the 40 thieves come riding
through town stealing everything-food, an old man’s teeth, numbers off a
clock-even the stripe off a barber pole.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">This Popeye cartoon
“Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves” that the teacher shows her students demonstrates that
Arabs are all the same and they show no individualism or sense of identity
because they are all wearing the same clothing and have the same body type. By
the cartoon having the Arabs play thieves and swinging large swords, it gives
children the wrong impression of Arabs. The cartoon’s demonstration makes the
children think that all Arabs are all bad people and that is how discrimination
is started. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another thing in the cartoon
that is disturbing is when Popeye clips a dog collar on Olive Oyl’s neck and
drags her through the desert. By letting children watch this cartoon it teaches
boys that it is okay to treat woman with disrespect and violence because of
what they see Popeye doing to Olive Oyl. Lastly, by children seeing the 40
thieves stealing food and other things, it gives children the impression that people
from the Arabic culture are thieves.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">1. “For those engaged in the promotion of
particular ideas, including such diverse groups as politicians, corporate
actors, citizen activists, and religious groups, media are among the primary
contemporary battlegrounds.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I
think why the author is saying that type of groups named above are Primary
contemporary battlegrounds is because these diverse groups are the most popular
for the media too attack. For example, the media had a field day when priests
of the Catholic Church were caught sexually assaulting little boys, which
caused a bad reputation for the Catholic society. One case that I found on Abc
news website states that “Former priest Robert Van Handel's 27-page sexual
history, which he wrote for a psychologist between 1993 and 1994, details his
history of abuse and fantasies of abusing boys age 8 to 11. The document was
released as part of a settlement between the Franciscan order of priests and 25
abuse victims.</span> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Because
of the media’s embellishment of Catholic priests many people think priests are
sexual predators. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

“Instead of assessing the images and making some judgment about levels
of realness, ideological analysis asks what these messages tell us about
ourselves and our society.” One example of Ideological Analysis is the
disagreement of the Sandy Hook story being false. Some people who think the
Sandy Hook story is real would get their sources from news broadcasts and
websites such as Abc News. On the other hand, the people who think this story
is fake would most likely get their sources from YouTube. An Ideological Analysis
looks at where both of the sources come from without being judgmental. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">3. “This articulation
is accomplished, in large part, by the fact that popular media, particularly
television and mass advertising have a tendency to display a remarkably narrow
range of behaviors and lifestyles. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> I believe that Mass media is very narrow with
the choices of behavioral lifestyles because the networks chose to introduce to
the public, such as the nuclear family.
Instead of networks, broadcasting shows that are about an everyday
normal family, the networks choose to show television shows that are not the
norm, such as TLC’s Sister Wives. Sister Wives is about a polygamist family,
which consists of four wives, the husband Cody and their 17 kids. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
