Freshiman Seminar

I think there are many communities on social media. If I'm not mistaking communities are simply groups that come together as one or that can relate to one set idea for a social media community. I think those facebook fan pages and sport pages are good examples of a community. I would consider myself in a community of those linked to hard work ethics but still maintaining a small social life. This kind of community who most likely be a group of individuals who rarely be on social sites but still stay posted with the latest news.

I hope I answered your question correctly. See you next semester.

Saying Goodbyes :(

       My first semester in English has been very consrtuctive. I've enjoyed every assignment that was given to me and that teacher of mine was absolutely WONDERFUL! I know you guys may think I'm saying this because I know she's going to read this post but that is NOT the case at all. I absolutely love teachers who take time out their busy schedules just to assist their students on the levels that they need to understand. Although, I did do a little procastinating I was still able to do all of the work to the best of my ability and meet her expectations. Mrs.Koester has been the best help of all time, I just couldn't possibly see myself saying goodbye.
      Saying goodbye at the end of the school semester can be tough for students, who've often formed strong attachments to their teachers like me. I've became immune to the small things Mrs.Koester do. She's a bowl of sunshine. Everyday, (even when I walked in late) she always had sweet greetings. I've never saw her come to class with an attitude or even show any kind of disappointment to me or my classmates when it came down to her work. She has the understanding personality that you just can't forget about and she has this vibe that sets the whole room! On days where I really wasn't feeling well, her atmosphere made me leave that class in a better mood and I will definitely miss that. Oh, and I just can't forget about all her jokes. She will not miss not one day without having one or at least saying something that makes the whole room laugh! Her down-to-earth spirit kept me lifted.
      BUT, honestly I refused to say goodbye so I'll be seeing her next semester :) ALL JOKES ASIDE. I'm looking forward to the new work and looking more forward to dealing with Mrs.Koester one more semester!!

Website Review

​After the preschool years kids still like cartoons, but they want something more complex than straightforward messages. Kids like a bit of conflict, some bad guys that aren’t too scary, and other worldly characters like superheroes, aliens, and animated animals. Cartoon websites can be targets for kids. Believe it or not cartoons and their websites play a big role in kids’ lives and they can still teach them a lesson or two!Although websites are for entertainment, they are helping children develop a stronger instinct when on computers and allowing them the option of games and activities that can enhance their learning abilities. There are two popular cartoon websites that elementary aged children are familiar with that are based on television networks. Both Cartoonnetwork.com and Nickelodeon.com come from the channels of Cartoonnetworkand Nickelodeon providing games to play, video clips, shows and educational activities for kids to interact with.Cartoonnetwork is owned by the Time Warner Company and Nickelodeon is owned by MTV Networks. While both Cartoonnetwork.com and Nickelodeon.com successfully attracta children’s audience with their content, Nickelodeon is more appealing in design because of its broad demonstration of icons.

​Although these websites have the same purpose, their designs are different. Nickelodeon is supported with bright colors and a white background. Both Nickelodeon andCartoonnetwork have scroll bars along the top of their homepages that meets the same purpose of making it easy to identify each cartoon that is associated with the television networks. Compared to Nickelodeon, Cartoonnetwork is supported with dark colors. Their background is black and white and their words are all white rather than a variety of colors. From my point of view it seems that Nickelodeon has a childlike view and Cartoonnetwork is more sophisticated. For example if you scroll or click anything that is on Nickelodeon.com icons will appear, but if you take the same action on Cartoonnetwork.com words are the only thing that will appear. Nickelodeon definitely encourages visualization whileCartoonnetwork is text-based. Both Nickelodeon andCartoonnetwork have a space for ads in the same position and spot. Nickelodeon’s ad spot is a sliding box that contains commercials and news pertaining to the cartoons whileCartoonnetwork ad box seems to have a major malfunction because it is always blank. It is important for children to see advertisement that pertains to what they are looking at and this malfunction stops that from occurring. This givesCartoonnetwork a setback because this could be unattractive to children.

​Nevertheless both websites have mobile versions based on their desktop versions. Nickelodeon and Cartoonnetwork’smobile versions are no different from their desktop versions.Cartoonnetwork have minor problems on both desktop and mobile versions. The same problem occurs on Cartoonetwork’sdesktop version occurs on its mobile version giving Nickelodeon the upper hand. It is extremely easy to notify links on Nickelodeon’s mobile version, but it is hard to know where everything is located on Cartoonnetwork’s mobile versionbecause of its non-use of links and little word use. In additionCartoonnetwork only have apps to their games and they all have to be purchased while Nickelodeon has a variety of games to choose from that are all free. Having a charge for games defeats the purpose of children being able to play games because it leaves no access to them. If I was a parent that would be a problem because I wouldn’t want to have to hover over my child while they were playing games on my cellular device or have them visiting sites their interested in that charge things to my bill.

​Just as Nickelodeon is connected to other age groups,Cartoonnetwork is as well. Nickelodeon has more than one connection on its television network and website. It has other connects such as “Nick Jr.”, “Teennick”, and “NickatNite”. All of these connections from Nickelodeon range from the age groups of toddlers/elementary children, teenagers, and then adults. I know what you could be thinking, How does Nickelodeon have so many options to choose from on just one channel? Nickelodeon is uniquely equipped by switching shows as the time goes by in the day, leaving each show in relation in some type of way. For example some of the voices used for the animated characters are the same people who act on “NickatNite” just as a mature view. This still leaves Nickelodeon with an advantage because even thoughCartoonnetwork is similar it only has one other connection. This other connection is not related to Cartoonetwork at all. At nightCartoonnetwork turns into “Adultswim” which is associated with ignorance and does not have any similarities with what appears on Cartoonnetwork. Nickelodeon’s connections still uses its name in some form trying to keep the same aspect. In contrast Cartoonnetwork’s connection has a completely different name and the characters and actors are nothing alike. Likewise their show-times are all still ranged at the same times, making it easy to identify when the channel makes a transition.

​The two websites as a whole share some similarities where they can’t be distinguished at all. I can honestly say that they both have an easy navigation on their sites. It is easy to access any of the content an there aren’t any complications to functioning the sites. Any child allowed to visit these sites would have a fair understanding of usability. The websites of Cartoonnetwork.com and Nickelodeon.com both share the same value of usage.

​In conclusion, Nickelodeon and Cartoonnetwork both accomplished their purpose of entertaining elementary age children. I would rate Cartoonnetwork on 3out5 star scale because of its malfunctions and lack of links.

Freshman Seminar

    I was given an assignment for my Freshman seminar class and it pertains to both that and my English class. During the semester this class has been strictly media based. I realized that media can be used for more than just entertainment. The websites we take part in on a daily basis can be used for constructive use as well such as Twitter and Facebook. We were introduced to some websites we weren't famliar with and was able to immediately identify they could be helpful in the future and useful in other classes.
      This class had a positive impact on me. I was able to take what I learned about media and use it in other classes like my English class and in my normal life. The media introduced to me has made many projects fairly easy. Hootsuite was one of the items introdced to me that made easy for me to conect several things together at a time. This site is time consuing because you can focus on more than one thing at a time visually. I can honestly say I enjoyed my experience and learnng environment!

Put the Future of Children FIRST!

        Electronic media, particularly television, have long been criticized for their potential impact on children. One area for concern is how early media exposure influences development and academic achievement. Although it is clear that well-designed, age-appropriate, educational television can be beneficial to children of preschool age, studies on infants and toddlers suggest that these young children may better understand and learn from real-life experiences than they do from video. Moreover, some research suggests that exposure to television during the first few years of life may be associated with poorer development.
      With respect to children over seven, I us emphasize the importance of content in mediating the effect of television on skills and academic achievement. Early exposure to age-appropriate programs designed around an educational curriculum is associated with academic enhancement, whereas exposure to pure entertainment, and violent content in particular, is associated with poorer development and lower academic achievement.
     Producers and parents can take steps to maximize the positive effects of media and minimize the negative effects. Children's television viewing can inform guidelines for producers of children's media to enhance learning. Parents can select well-designed, age-appropriate programs and view the programs with their children to maximize the positive effects of educational media.
       I simply want to inform policymakers, educators, parents, and others who work with young children about the impact of media, particularly television, on preschool children, and what society can do to maximize the benefits and minimize the costs.



Games Rule but NOT Before School!

 

 

 

 

As I walked into my mother’s house I watched my brother gaze into the television. I didn’t realize he was playing his video game until I walked through the house a few times. I paused to see he was playing “Call of Duty”. This shocked me because I am familiar with adults and teens playing this game. I did not have a problem with him playing the game until I noticed his homework folder settled on the table with work still in it unfinished. This disturbed me because he was so focused on this game when he should have been focusing on his school work. In my opinion, no game should have come before his after school duties.

            The problem that we fail to address is the fact that children are not responsible for the media they interact with.  Children cannot own violet games unless their parents purchase them for them.  It is an issue that goes to the heart because many parents are not mindful of the things they watch.  For instance, parents such as my mother would not be surprised on my brother’s impact from his video game if she was mindful of the games she purchased.  This result in her punishing him and I am sure many other parents take punishment into consideration.

            I am aware that many young children today have easy access to video games and televisions. Electronic devices are one of the most popular choices for entertainment. There is no doubt that every child’s desire it to have any game or movie that is favored by others of their age group. I question whether it is safe for all children to interact with these certain games and movies. In any case children can be affected by media.

It seems to me that each child has their own level of influence impact from media. I contrasted my brother and my boyfriend’s brother impact from video games and it displays that they are completely different. Both my brother Keith and his brother Ron’Darius learn on the same educational level. They both have desires for games but prefer different types of games. Keith is in kindergarten and enjoys playing mature, advanced games while Ron’Darius is in the first grade and he would rather play games that are for his age group such as cartoon related games. I use these two for example because they both different likes in games and react from them but still maintain exceptional grades in school. This is not promising for all children and that is why both parents and the public society should be mindful of the video games they are releasing and the content.

I strongly believe that media, video games and television are terrible for kids…especially when over used by parents as a means of keeping their kids occupied. Sure, there are times it is OK or even a great thing…however, in this techno crazy time we live in, it is WAY overdone and kids do not even play or use their God-given imagination anymore!

Have you ever heard of IYA(Involved Young Adults)? This is a group of young adults and teens that have interests in younger children’s education. We are here to inform the public on the seriousness of monitoring children and the media they interact with.

I know what you might be saying, “How can media be serious when it is made for entertainment?” Yes, this may be true but what are the effects or consequences behind this media?

·         How much media do you and child or children interact with?

·         Does your child or children ignore school work for media?

·         Would your child or children behave disrespectfully when they cannot interact with media?

·         Are your children giving more energy to games and television or any other electronic device than their education?

·          Have you ever saw a child act or say things from a movie, show, or game?

These are the things you should ask yourself about your children or any child that you may have a concern about. One of the biggest tensions between parents and kids is that sometimes kids don’t have enough to do, while parents have too much to do. It’s difficult not to cringe when your child complains about being bored when you wish your life didn’t have so much responsibility and activity. I realize that it is easy to look over certain things children do on the regular but that is when the more attention should be given. Monitor what your child does when he gets bored. Some kids download inappropriate movies and TV shows from the internet. Be clear that this is not acceptable. Steer their energy in another direction. Honestly, too much media for a child at a young age can cause laziness and lack of proper learning abilities. Make sure kids stay engaged in school. Be mindful of our younger generation upbringing!

            Furthermore, we plan to share our multiple ideas to inform those unaware parents and citizens that there is a way to keep these children satisfied.

Some ways other than technology that kids can consider:

1.      Encourage outside play as often as possible. Of course, be safe and make sure your children are supervised. Playing outside is sadly a forgotten past time for many of today’s techno driven children. Just get them outside running and playing…sweating and good old fashioned hard playing is good for building strong bones and healthy lifestyles!

2.      Music. Turn on some praise music or other clean but still enjoyable music and let them dance around the house. If you have a few kids or even two, they can play musical chairs.

3.      Read. If they can read, give them books to read on a regular basis. It is important that they read often. If your kids are too young to read themselves, read to them daily. Also, a good picture book will keep little no readers busy.

4.      Make them play in their room. Yes, it is OK for kids to play in their rooms with their TOYS.

5.      Young children may complain about boredom when they want to spend time with you. When you hear their complaints, spend a few minutes with your child (if you can). Ask what he or she would like to do with you.

6.      Visit some of your child’s favorite places, such as the zoo, Incredible Pizza, the children’s museum, and the playground. As children get older, they often find new wonders that amaze them.

7.      Invite your child to help you with household chores, such as doing laundry, cooking a meal, setting the table, or dusting. Make a game out of the chore, and soon you’ll both be having more fun.

Children can still have access to their normal games but exclude violent activity from some of them to ensure safety. Less violence will show that it is not the only way to create fun. We also feel that if more educational activities are included in these movies and games that it will have a more positive impact. Educational media created on a level that interest the younger generation is our proposed solution. This can better the children and challenge them to keep education first.

My Mini Manifesto

Be Original
Life young, wild, and free.
Do what makes you happy.
Don't half step in anything you do
Stop letting others opinions bother you.
Start following your first mind.
Never settle.
Always stay confident.
Welcome others in your life at an certain extinct.
Create and keep positive moods.
Bring joy into any atmosphere.
Learn to accept your flaws.

I was instructed to create a manifesto with a list a words given and a teenage life came to mind with my list of words. Teenage lives are the hardest times when growing up. I'm still a teen so I can relate. Most teens withdraw from parents, but some sink into themselves too far. They may feel profoundly alone and alienated, unable to connect with any safe adult. They crave friendships but feel too demoralized and fearful to reach out to others or respond to friendly overtures. Many struggling teens have poor self-images and little confidence. They doubt that they can be competent and successful, and they become increasingly cut-off from school, family, and friends. These teens are easy prey for involvement with the “wrong crowd” because of their hunger to belong.

Social Sites Are Starting to get Ridiculous

      



         I am really starting to regret that I be on social sites. They aren't what people try to make them out to be. I honestly think people are abusing the use of these social sites by displaying explicit behavior, videos, posts, and pictures.
        The primary disadvantage of social networking is that most people do not know how to network effectively. As a result, the few benefits they get from their networking activity are not worth the time invested. The best way to avoid being disappointed in this way is to decide on a strategy for using social sites, and stick to it. I know many people use social sites as a way to stay connected with what is going on but many others are still taking advantage by saying and doing negative things. For example, if you are going to use Twitter to draw attention, then resist the temptation to waste time tweeting about provocative behavior. Stay focused on what you want to achieve and don’t let yourself get distracted.
         The golden rule of social networking is to avoid putting anything online that could reflect badly on you. Pictures of you acting unprofessionally could harm your chances of getting a job, or make a poor impression but that is all I am seeing. If you want to use a social media site for personal as well as professional networking, consider creating a separate account under a nickname, so you can keep your professional account clean. One minute I see someone trying to be professional and then the next I see them uploading something the world shouldn't see or know and that doesn't make any sense at all.

There's Still Some Good

  

       I know I've been the one to talk more on the negative impact that children have from social media but there are positive impacts as well. Whether we like it or not the internet, social media, and other related technology are here to stay. Although we may dislike some of these things for our children they will still eventually have access to them. As parents, it is imperative to teach children about the potential dangers they may face online. For starters, get them to learn more about the internet and respect the power it carries if used carelessly. Providing them with a solid foundation and leading by example makes for a well-rounded digital child.Technology, the internet and children’s engagement with the online world have lead to many favorable advancements and developments for children as well as some positive outcomes for their emotional and social wellbeing. When we think of technology and the online world and the consequences for  children, we instinctively think of the negative elements and the inherent risks associated with its use. Certainly, these fears are very real and as parents, you must be aware of these dangers and guide, educate and support these kids. But there are some wonderful and important advantages to this new technology that parents must learn to embrace if they are going to continue to connect with their children and steer them through this new world.
         Technology has opened up a whole new platform for kids to create. They can share content via blogs, animations, videos and photos, all of which help empower individuals to develop their own sense of creativity and identity. Kids are making new content, reworking old content and coming up with new and more creative ideas to get a message across, express an idea or connect with others. There is much that can be encouraged by allowing our children this freedom to create.

Daycare Interview

          It’s amazing how you don’t pay attention to something until it becomes relevant in your life. I’m the type to always notice the negative things others and their family do immediately. I’m one of those teens that grew up assisting their parents with their siblings. This made me aware of many other children. It is important to make sure a child develop his or her learning skills along with social, emotional, and physical skills.

            I’ve recently did an interview for a school paper and of course it is about children. My main focus was the negativity that children impact on from media. I had a brief conversation with my mother who made me realize a daycare would be the best place to visit to find interviewee and get additional information. My mother was once a care taker of other people’s children and she was able to give me the feedback I needed. My mother also a have  two younger children of her own and she notices all the things that my siblings easily pick up on from media. She states, “I must admit I purchase my children the games and movies of their choice and reacting to them is something they do often. I would rather them have educational games and movies but that does not meet their happiness.” As she continues “My younger son enjoys violent games and silly TV shows along with expressional cartoon movies while my daughter on the other hand would rather play dance games and sit in front of the computer listening to popular music.” After having this conversation with her I knew there were many other parents who were probably the exact same way. Some people would rather see their kids happy than force them to do things they dislike which is definitely normal. My mother then directed me to a daycare that she thought was good because my brother attended.

            One evening I rode around my neighborhood until I spotted the daycare. The daycare was set off from the busy streets close to American Way Road and near the hotel Comfort Inn. It wasn’t a big building but it was easy to spot out. When you ride down Colony Park Street you can’t help but notice this small brick building with daycare buses and decorative letters on the building. There are glass doors on the building to compliment the place. The doors made it easy for me to look directly in and know immediately that this was a place I could consider holding my interview.

            The name of the daycare is “Kids Central Learning Academy.” When I entered the building I noticed how clean and organized the place was. I decided to interview an elder teacher. I was told that all the elder teachers deal with kids of all ages and could give me as much information as they could. My interview took place in a classroom of kids that ranged from 1-4 years old. My interviewee name was Mrs.Williams. She was an elderly lady who gave little expressions as she talked. She was neatly dressed in scrubs with her hair pinned up. We stood face to face as we had our chat and she seemed intense. The interview wasn’t rushed but she was a fast talker so it seemed as if it was. I asked Mrs.Williams for her experiences with her students and media. She states, “My children are only allowed to watch and play educational activities. We do not allow the regular cartoons that are watched at home to be watched in our facility and we do not purchase violent nor games that are not educational. Those things of that nature do not hold any value to our children.” After she told me that I then asked if a negative impact of media was sometimes brought to her when kids arrived from home. Mrs.Williams went into depth by giving me a story. “I have a student name Jaquez who once came to school showing me boxing moves and trying to fight with his classmates unknowingly. I had to sit Jaquez down to and have a serious talk with him. He needed to know that he was misbehaving. Jaquez became very sad and hurt because he thought playing boxing video games and wrestling was teaching him a way of normal life. He thought that was something he could do on a daily basis.” said Mrs.Williams. After her story she then told me that she has had similar situations from other students. Even though they are only teaching educational media that doesn’t keep the children from bringing negative impact other media to the daycare.

            Our conversation went extremely well because it added on to most of the information I already knew. Before ending my interview I asked for some sort of guidelines that the daycare went by but instead of getting the guidelines I better information. I received one of the daycare’s newsletters that they prepare each month. Mrs.Williams was able to tell me about the newsletter. She explained that they include all information on any activities that they will be doing during that month, each child’s name that has a birthday in that month, and any goals and expectations.          

            I chose an organized and structured daycare for my interview. The daycare instructor along with my mother’s experience with my siblings was very useful. I was able to give evidence and show how children react to media.

            Most kids plug into the world of television long before they enter school. As kids get older, too much screen time can interfere with activities such as being physically active, reading, doing homework, playing with friends, and spending time with family. Of course, TV in moderation can be a good thing: Preschoolers can get help learning the alphabet on public television, grade schoolers can learn about wildlife on nature shows, and parents can keep up with current events on the evening news. No doubt about it — TV can be an excellent educator and entertainer but it can also hinder the younger generation.

The World of Television

        Most kids plug into the world of television long before they enter school. As kids get older, too much screen time can interfere with activities such as being physically active, reading, doing homework, playing with friends, and spending time with family. Of course, TV in moderation can be a good thing: Preschoolers can get help learning the alphabet on public television, grade schoolers can learn about wildlife on nature shows, and parents can keep up with current events on the evening news. No doubt about it — TV can be an excellent educator and entertainer.
        Despite it's advantages television can still be detrimental. Children who spend several hours watching TV are likely to be overweight. Children who view violent acts are more likely to show aggressive behavior but also fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. This is why it is so important for you to monitor the content of TV programming and set viewing limits to ensure that your kids don't spend too much time parked in front of the TV.

Memoir

As a child I grew up watching a lot of television, playing video games and associating with many other children my age.  I always woke up early mornings ready for breakfast and cartoons.  The first action I took after stepping foot from my queen size bed was making a large bowl of fruit loops.  Once I had my cereal I sat directly in front of the television and turned to Barney.  Barney was my favorite show to watch.  He was the nicest dinosaur in the world.  He taught me many basic skills that I know today.  The songs Barney sang on his show had the best jingles and were easy to remember. His theme song was one of my favorites and it was-

“I love you, You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you.
Won't you say you love me too
I love you, You love me
We're best friends like friends should be
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you.
Won't you say you love me too
I love you, You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you.
Won't you say you love me too
I love you, You love me
We're best friends like friends should be”
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you.
Won't you say you love me too. He also had an alphabet song that was to die for that is still in my head currently. The song was-

A - B - C - D - E - F – G

H - I - J - K - L - M - N - O – P

Q - R - S - T – U- V

W - X - Y and Z

Now I know my A - B - C's

 Tell me what you think of me   

Barney had friends that I thought I should have growing up.  They always helped him with his rights and wrongs in life.  Barney and his friends were always a team.  It’s hard to find things like that in this current generation. There are more children fighting in the community than children building friendships.

            Although it seems that everyone is influenced by entertainment, I’m convinced that children in this current generation are influenced negatively by it. Children are not interacting with the same entertainment from the 90s.  The popular media is more negative than positive.  Paying close attention to details, actions, and characters in most movies, shows, cartoons, and games will show that a lot of them shouldn’t be watched or played by children.

            Many cartoon shows are cursing, showing body parts, and displaying ignorant behavior.  There are two cartoon shows I know for a fact that does this. Those shows are Family Guy and American Dad. Characters in these cartoons are fighting, killing, showing sexual behavior, and talking with no sense at all.  This type of behavior influences kids because many of them either look up to cartoon characters or like them enough to want to do the exact things they do.  I can vouch so accurately on this because I have a younger brother and sister. My brother name is Keith and he is five years old. Keith is one of those kids who repeat and act on all the things that he some-what know is bad. After realizing that something could be bad he asks older people about what he has learned and consistently acts on it even after being told that it is bad. This really does bother me because if he knows better I expect him not to do it. On the other hand, my sister Kimberly who is ten years old tries to hide anything that she know is negative and only does negative things when my parents or myself aren’t around. She is extremely sneaky and believes in having fun.  Both brother and sister have been influenced in some type of way.

            My brother is younger than my sister so his influence came strictly from cartoons.  He is always the first person to wake up in the house so the television is his first move in the morning.  My brother does not take the same actions I took when I was his age which made us limit the amount and the cartoons that he is able to watch.  He would rather watch something funny than educational.  His favorite show is “Spongebob Squarepants” which is nothing educational at all.

            Spongebob is an annoying character. He sings this jingle that only says, “I’m ready, I’m Ready I’m Ready” every day before he goes to work.  He has a voice that can make you go insane.  Every action he takes is never thought out.  He is always acting as if he has no intelligence.  Spongebob has a best-friend name Patrick who is completely stupid.  Patrick is a starfish.  Both Patrick and Spongebob live in objects that humans cannot stay in.  Patrick stays under a rock while Spongebob is in a pineapple, living with objects we use on a day to day basis. 

            My brother grew up for a while thinking that Spongebob was real.  He also thought that the way they acted and the things they did were things he should learn.  This was a problem for me and my parents because we were clueless on where he picked it up from until we watched him more. Everything that he was watching had him doing dangerous things, such as jumping off furniture and fighting.

            If one cartoon could influence my brother I can just imagine how many children are being influenced every day.  There are millions of children and cartoons around the world that could influence children negatively. I don’t disagree with cartoons but I do disagree with what they are displaying. Cartoons are what interest children but if every cartoon, movie, and show is going to be negative than it serves no purpose for my siblings or any other child. I’m aware that there is still an educational channel such as PBS but my brother is nowhere near interested in PBS because it’s not something that attracts him. My siblings would rather give channels that they see on a regular basis their time which is Nickelodeon, Cartoonnetwork, Boomerang, etc.

            Although television is not the only negative impact it is very common. Our generation today is based off popularity so kids would like to watch and play what other kids are playing and watching.  My siblings make sure that it is known every day that they would only like the latest movies that are out and they try to refuse to miss any new episodes of their choice on shows that they like. There are rarely any games or shows educational enough to attract the attention of the their young mind.  There’s nothing wrong with funny shows being silly but there is something wrong with having no educational entertainment.  Education can always be interesting or fun in a way.  Better games and shows will definitely improve the generation of today.

Welcome.

Greetings! My name is Kelvineisha Hope and welcome to my blog. Do you have a passion for kids? Would you go out your way to understand a child's interest? Have you ever paid attention to what this younger generation put more time in? Did you notice how there are many negative impact influencing teen and children? If you haven't or don't this is the best blog to follow. I chose to do this topic because I feel that this is a area that could attract the people.
