This chapter emphasizes the advent of movies, radio, television and comic books are more influential than schools for the minds of children and youth. In my opinion, it is really true because children and youth easily absorb certain animations or impulsive TV programs. This is disadvantage that some of children and youth learn and tend to act exactly showed through the media such as the reality TV shows or criminal movie. Also through certain popular TV programs, the advertisement targeted these children and youth to consume more. However, the media is not always transfer the bad influence for children and youth. For example, the good animations make the children more creative and also they learn morality and discipline through them. For youth, through the cultural TV programs or documentaries, they motivate to help the poverty or they challenge some difficult experiences to improve the knowledge.
So I think it is really effective through the movies, the students can easily understand and analyze the subject matter. Therefore, the media is powerful influence to alter the children and youth’s behavior and their mind but it is not always impacts into the minds of children and youth. Do you think it is effective to educate children and youth using movies?
