Respect is acknowledging that everyone is worth something
We need to respect things like authority because that is what makes the world work
There is freedom within rules
We are bought up in a society through school to be independent, where in fact it would be more beneficial to be interdependent as a society
Avoids interacting with media in the morning so as to focus on functions without filling time/space with noise
Only looks at headlines and if relevant will look more throughly or just pass over
Doesn't waste time with news media and is aware of the bias portrayed
Chooses a website for News because less ads
Likes efficiency in media and for media to be succinct
Prefers programmes that are about solving - i.e CSI, Castle, Chuck and likes to watch the light and fluffy ones with teenage family
Won't watch programmes that show disrespect towards the family - i.e Simpsons, Wife Swap,
Media is modeling relationships as you can take it or leave it. No emphasis on commitment and working together, it sensationalizes promiscuity and that to stay in relationship is almost boring (example Two and Half Men)
Likes gaming but not games that model possible realife scenarios (like shooting) more likes fantasy because it is not real
Dislikes news articles that glorifies bad behaviour, we spend lots of time affirming positive behaviour in the classroom and then the kids go home and turn on TV and the criminal and bad behaviour is affirmed.
They say texting has increased communication for young people however, it appears the relationships they are having appear to be of no great depth.
Media fills our days up with too much information for people to focus on worrying about what other people are doing rather than focusing on what needs to be done now
Media and Society tend to show more attention and respect towards the SPCA than the youth that are lying in our gutters and need our help (re a Media clip that talked more about increasing cows to calve)
