Since it is a medium that we don't have control over, the message that it spreads will always be part of someone else's agenda. Madison Avenue and Hollywood are very influential indeed and their message is mainly about preserving the status quo. We need to teach our young folks how to achieve their own level of empowerment but first we have to counter the poor self image that we are bombarded with daily in the mass media. None of us will ever be wealthy or middle class white men, so the very first thing we have to do is to dispell the myth that these people are in any real sense "better" than anyone else. This will never happen if we continue to give any credence to the nonsence that is delivered to us by the mass media.  less

Ultimately, I think the ideal thing would be that parents get back to raising and teaching their kids, PERIOD. Stop allowing the television to instill the media's "values" and agenda, if you will. Teach them a trade while they're still young, so that they know how to do something other than go searching for someone to give them a job (which may not happen for many, no matter how much schooling they have). All of that may be too much to ask for though, considering that nowadays some parents MAY feel that they're being good parents by providing the $150 Jordans, or the smartphone to the 11 year old,etc. Not to say any of it is wrong,per se. However, children do need to learn that they aren't entitled to anything and they need to WORK to get what they want, because once they FINALLY become independent, no one will be purchasing those things for them.  less

When I come across blatant spelling errors and speak up, the first thing that happens from others perspective is instantaneous anger. From my standpoint, how can you take a writer seriously if he or she can't seem to grasp or get a decent handle on the English language? Another erroneous error I am seeing are those who put a question mark at the end of a (period) ending statement. Where in the world did that mess ever come from? Why is it that we have a (very) hard time with constructive criticism? No harm, no foul. This is just my *humble* opinion.    less
