After reading chapter 2 about the impact media has on society, I can think of a time when someone blamed the cunduct of a child on the media. This particular acquaintance was telling me how her nephews always wanted to play violently and rough with her children which she disapproved of. She said "its because of the type of cartoons they watch it teaches them that violence is okay"
So she had an opinion of what media can do to a child and therefore she carefully chooses what her children of 7, 5, and 2 watch on television.

Good example. Parents can see the evidence every day!
