Hi Gail,
You know, isn't it funny how the media likes to portray things, like for example a perfect family on a commercial where a family all looks happy with a pet playing with them? To me, this is falsifying this "perfect family". Media has so much impact on kids and youths, it affects everyone, especially the younger generations. It's really important to look and see what our children are watching on t.v, internet, media, etc. and to clarify, correct and differentiate the reality and media. As long as our children are told the difference and corrected, they will be given good examples of their morals and values and of course, difference between reality and media. That's it for now.

I certainly agree with you. The impact the media has on all of us is very scary. Kids certainly need their parents to come along side and help them see "reality" and not buy into the stuff the media throws at us. Corporations will use anything (and have) to relieve of us of hard-earned money because the message is ... if you buy our product you will be happy. As a case in point, my husband and I have been trying to decide on what roof shingles to buy for our house. The brochure we have been selecting from is title "the roof of your dreams." I told my husband that if I spent my nights dreaming about a roof, I'd bee in big trouble!
