How has the media scared you today?

My friend Meg is taking the sculpture class with Terry this semester and I've seen her latest project be created right from the start (I even helped her steal newpaper for it...) and it fits in with what we're learning perfectly. She carved a television out of weeks worth of newspapers and built a display for it. The point she was trying to make is that the media comes in all forms, television being one of them. If parents are trying to keep their kids away from violence in forms such as guns and war, then they don't have guns in the house and they don't expose them to games and other things that deal with war. However, they're getting just as much exposure of those things through the television. It's a gateway for media to pour into kid's minds as well as adults and sometimes we don't even realize it's happening. It's a scary thought, but it's the truth and digital media will most likely find a way into your life no matter how much precaution you take.
