Blog # 5
I have been raised to take everything I hear with a grain of salt. That especially goes for what I see or learn on television. My parents have never really censored what I watch on tv because they know I can think for myself. However, there is a new show on television that has created a lot of controversy. I watched it several times before I even heard about the dilema. The show is Gossip Girl. I’ll admit, the show was my guilty pleasure. However, after a few episodes played week after week, I saw a news piece done on this show. Parents were complaining that the show was advocating gossip and online blogs bashing people. The shows I used to watch when I was little were Saved by the Bell or Family Matters. This show really opened my eyes to how much the media can influence children today.
