Censorship And The Media

I don't think anything should be censored, as long as it has a disclaimer at the beginning of the program.
Maybe in a later time frame.
If parents don't want their children watching it, they should make sure to have restrictions, and monitor their kids so they don't watch it.

Answers Questions:

- My parents are very aware of my online activity. My computer is right off of the living room so they can monitor how long I have been on.
- My parents don't really seem to care about my computer usage, or how long I am on for, as long as my brother and I take turns.
- The only two websites I really ever go on, are Facebook and Youtube, and my parents know about those, so there's not much more for them to know.
- I don't think I would interact with my friends with much due to no Facebook, I wouldn't be up-to-date with the latest music due to no Youtube, and I would probably have failed every project I have ever had to do without Google.
- With all sorts of information about every category possible online, (for the convenience of students' projects and/or homework), I think studying and completion of homework would be very difficult.
- I for sure think it would benefit considering, I am on a computer completing my blogs for media right now(:
- I think that everyone will have the most up-to-date technology with the best, easiest learning techniques.
- I just started reading a book not too long ago, only because it was the last of the series that I didn't complete in grade. 8.
- I don't nessacarily think copying and pasting is cheating, as long as you and everyone you plan on sharing with is learning something from it.

One Media Product That Can Lead To Violence

A media product that I would think would lead to violence would be movies and/or video games that demonstrate violence.
I think this because, when people play or watch these things for long periods of time, it begins to be all they think about.
The thought of performing the acts shown in these games in movies fascinates the viewer and encourages them to do so.

One Media Product That Went Over The Line

I think that most sexually revealing music videos are crossing the line, especially to younger viewers.
A lot of songs lyrically are equally as bad. Not just sexuall songs but songs like Ice T having the desire to kill a cop or in his words a 'pig'. Or even a song with a good vibe but an innapropriate music video like 'California Gurls'.

Where Does Violence Come From?

Violence can come from many things.
It can come from all of your anger that has been building up and eventually is all unleashed. You can be influenced to start violence by a peer or a televison show. One things for sure, violence is like media it's everywhere you go.

Chilean Minors - Lessons of This Story?

I think the main lesson of this story is that your never really safe, even when you think you are.
Also, anything can happen to you at any given time, and you have to ask yourself- are you prepared for that?

So Bowling for Columbine

I will definately remember the incuident of  the Columbine school shooting.
I just think that it was a very random, uncalled for misfortune that occured and it has an interesting story to it.
There is something very mysterious about two teenages deciding to go to school with dangerous weapons and claim civialians lives. I find it disgusting, but there's a story behind it, that's interesting.
