MEDIA


AGGRESSION
 Violence in aggression are often dubbed as
one of the results of the media.

 According to the Public Health Summit in 2000, the
following are some of the negative results of media:
• Children will increase anti-social and aggressive behavior.
• Children may become less sensitive to violence and those
who suffer from violence.
• Children may view the world as violent and mean,
becoming more fearful of being a victim of violence.
• Children will desire to see more violence in entertainment
real life.
• Children will view violence as an acceptable way to settle
conflicts.
 The school and the home provide children with unlimited
access to media, not only television and computers, but also

videos, movies, comic books and music lyrics. The
responsibility now lies with the parents, teachers and the
whole community. It should be a collective effort among the
factors working together to support children in every aspect
of development
 Having a role model is extremely important for children at
this stage of transition (from childhood to adolescence).
Children need an adult to admire and emulate. Role models
also provide them with motivation to succeed. One of the
most important roles of teachers is to become a very good
role model to children
 Implication to Child Care, Education and
Parenting

 Children have varying intelligence profiles. This profiles
maybe based on influences on learning and achievement.
Parents, child-care providers and teachers should be able
to recognized these through:
• Being an eager participant in children’s growth and
development;
• Understanding how to use the children’s natural curiosity
to help make the appropriate developmental leaps in their
skills and abilities; and
• Creating an atmosphere where risks can be taken and
discoveries made while children remain safe.
