Recommended web pages

Here I provided some web pages that might be interesting for you to have a look at.

1)http://www.media-awareness.ca

The media awareness web page, discusses the issues of the media in today’s society.
It is a network which provides young people with resources and support regarding the media. What is also very interesting is that people can leave their feedback or contribution to the web page via blog, on their homepage. Not only is it for the young generation, but also parents and teachers have their own space in this network. Why I think it could be a good reason to look at is because it covers interesting topics in the media such as Media Violence, Media Stereotyping, Online hate and so on. In the section of media issues you can always find new information regarding media.

2)http://www.extension.iastate.edu/families/media/pages/resources.html

What I find interesting on this website, are the topics which it covers; Media Violence: Confronting the Issues and Taking Action, The National Institute on Media and the Family, Talking with Kids about the News, and so on. I believe it covers my previous posts, and gives a good source of other links to look at.

3)http://www.nccev.org/violence/media.html

The National Centre for Children Exposed to Violence also covers relevant topics, such as Media violence, school violence, and community violence. It mainly covers the issue of violence itself. The website offers relevant websites to look at, and also supported by statistics.

The American Psychological Association is more broad then the other wed pages, but also covers a great deal on media violence and the effect on children. The web page has a great deal on researches and talks about the psychological aspect on these issues. Because of that great deal on researches, I believe it is worth heaving a look at.
