Annotated Bibliography

Impact of Media Use on Children and Youth. Paediatrics & Child Health 8.5 (2003): 301306.

Print.

This journal discusses how television impacts childhood development based on what the

child is exposed too. Television can impact children by exposing them to excessive amounts of

violence, irresponsible sexual behavior and can increase the percentage of obesity. Overall the

journal is very detailed in explaining what specific areas that television impacts childhood

development. It also explains how the amount of hours have increased. But the other positive

aspect of television is that it can be an educational factor to visual learners. This journal is useful

to the theme of the annotated bibliography because television is in the media field. It relates to

how it affects childs health and the level at which it impacts children. Parents need to be more

aware of what their children is seeing and comprehending because parents will be surprised

when their children knows more than what theyre exposed too. Which revolves back to theme of

this bibliography.

This article was published from The Huffington Post, summarizing the effects of social

medias impact on children health. It discussed how children and teens spend so much time on

social media to stay in touch with other people. I think this news report did an excellent job

discussing important facts about how much time is used on social media. It also discussed health

issues such as depression and sleep deprivation. We need more news report that discuss

important facts about social medias effect on people. This relates to the theme of media

impacting people and especially children, because social media is commonly used media today.

It is imperative that people realize that online communication has led to cases of cyberbullying

among children and teens. The theme will show how this article is very useful in revealing to

children that media is not their bestfriend.

American Academy of Pediatrics . "Impact of Music, Music Lyrics, and Music Videos on

Children and Youth ." AAP News & Journals Gateway 124 (2009).

The American Academy of Pediatrics scholarly journal discusses the impact of music,

lyrics and videos. Music is another section of media in which users listen to almost every hour of

day. However, people feel as though music lyrics promote drugs, alcohol and sexual activity, but

some listen to music or the lyrics to find correlation into their life. This journal gave credible

information and statistics that gave me a better understanding of the topic. It also allowed to see

that the topic itself has an effect on children and adolescents. That what we see and listen to can

have a positive or negative effect, but the journal let us decide what we will choose to let it do.

Steyer, James P. The Other Parent: The Inside Story of the Media's Effect on Our Children .

Atria Books , 2003.

Steyer discusses how parents need to be more aware of the specific type of media that

their children interact with. The book also tackles how media exposes children to violence,

sexual activities and capitalistic America. The novel allows parents to realize that the media does

not always portray positive messages. Also, the book gives it readers the tools and resources to

be wiser, on-guard and can teach their children important lessons. Steyer relates his book to the

theme of the annotated bibliography. Media effects children and their mental health and

development. They do not need to be exposed to adult content at an early age because that can

lead to them committing what ones are doing in the media. This book jumps back to my theme

and it shows the inside effect on what media is and how it affects everyone. However, it

mainly impacts children and we need to be more cognizant on what children are exposing

themselves too.

Vanderbilts psychology page discusses how video games effect childrens mental health

and make them more prone to violence. Not only does it make them more prone to violence; it

also makes them have a higher chance of obesity. With them spending over ten hours a day on

video games or other media outlets. They are lacking the necessary exercise that they need on a

regular basis. This website has valuable research and sufficient information, for anyone that

wants to know how and why media effects children, teens, etc. It is somewhat lengthy but the

information is beneficial to help save your children from mental and physical issues. Video

games is another media that is also very time consuming. It also relates by showing the negative

effects of video games although theyre positive aspects of playing games. It shows that what
