The document discusses how media represents and affects ethnicity, gender/sexuality, age, and disability. It notes that media shapes understanding of identity and perceptions of different groups. While media connectivity has benefits, it also poses risks to adolescents that their cognitive development makes them vulnerable to media influences. Parental supervision of media consumption is important, though technology also benefits those with disabilities by improving access.

4. Media: Ethnicity
understanding ethnic identity
is complicated because the
uniqueness that distinguishes
each group makes it difficult to
draw general conclusions. A
focus on the common
elements that apply across
groups could lead to a better
understanding of ethnic
identity.

5. Media: Ethnicity
Race and ethnicity are not only
physical attributes of people, but
also ways of seeing and
understanding the world.
Media creates meaning about
race and ethnicity, and plays an
important role in shaping the way
we understand race and ethnicity
as part of our identity, our history,
our social institutions, and our
everyday lives.

6. Effects of Media to Ethnicity
Students of different
ethnicity on a survey
said, they watched
television primarily not
just as a vehicle for
entertainment but also as
a learning tool and a point
of entry into the wider
world.

8. Media: Gender & Sexuality
Media and communication are
a central element of modern
life, while gender and sexuality
remain the core of how we
think about our identities.
Media has a direct and
straightforward effect on its
audience.

9. How media affects gender and
sexuality?
There is growing concern
about young people's
exposure to sexual content
through television and other
electronic media and about
its potential effects on their
sexual attitudes, beliefs, and
behaviours

10. Adolescents exposed to Media
sexual content in the media can affect any
age group and adolescents may be
particularly vulnerable.
Adolescents exposed to sexual content in
the media during a developmental period
when gender roles, sexual attitudes, and
sexual behaviours are being shaped may
be particularly at risk because the
cognitive skills that allow them to critically
analyze messages from the media and to
make decisions based on possible future
outcomes are not fully developed.

11. Is there a guidelines in media
exposure?
No guidelines exist on
the recommended
amount of time that
adolescents should
spend viewing
television or other
media.

12. Barometer of Media Exposure
For many parents and
physicians, the barometer of
overuse is an amount greater
than we or our children use the
media and when television or
other electronic media use is
interfering with the adolescent
ability to function effectively in
other spheres of life.

13. Supervision is necessary
The importance of
supervision and guidance in
the media choices of
adolescents and their
volume of use should be
emphasized to parents and
concerned adults. Joint
viewing or participation may
be THE BEST OPTION.
CHELDY SYGACO ELUMBA-PABLEO,MPA;LlB
14. Absence of Supervision
When supervision is not
possible, parents and
guardians should be
encouraged to take
advantage of the television V
chip and screening software
for computers to reduce
inappropriate access.

15. Parental Guidance is
Important
the importance of parental
involvement in adolescents' use
of the media, the degree of
adolescents' understanding of
the unreal nature of the media,
teens' possible identification with
fictional characters or highly
visible media personalities, the
norms modelled by parents and
peers, and adolescents' own
understanding of the
consequences of health risk
behaviours.

16. New Media: Disability
Disability and New Media
sets out its readings of
disability within the domain
of cultural and media
studies that explores the
significance and potential of
the social construction of
accessibility.

17. Usage of Media: Disability
Technology has the potential to
assist this group to access text-
based information.
EXAMPLE: Social networking
and online blogs have allowed
this group to become more
connected in public debate and
interact socially with others in the
community through Braille
tablets and audio books

19. MEDIA LIFE
Today’s youth are the first
generation to have live their
entire lives in a world rich
with new digital media. Ripe

transform young people’s
experiences.

authentically and ethically
keep tract of our lives in
media.
