This document summarizes a campaign to raise awareness among parents about the potential negative effects of violent video game content on children and young adults. The campaign aims to educate parents on how exposure to video game violence can desensitize players and potentially influence behavior through modeling. It also seeks to inform parents about the existing ESRB rating system for video games and their intended audiences. The campaign outline details objectives, tactics, and evaluation methods to reach parents through community meetings, media outreach, and online resources over three months.

In a matter of seconds, most children can mimic a movie or TV character,
sing an advertising jingle, or give other examples of what they have learned from media. Sadly, these examples may include naming a popular brand of beer, eating junk, obsessive-compulsive buying, striking a “sexy” pose, or play fighting. Children only have to put a movie into the VCR, open a magazine, click on a Web site, or watch TV to experience all kinds of messages. It really is that easy.
Media offer entertainment, culture, news, sports, and education. They are an important part of our lives and have much to teach. But some of what they teach may not be what we want children to learn.
This lecture gives an overview of some of the messages media send young people that could be negative or harmful to their health. You will learn how you can teach your children to better understand the media messages they see and hear in print, over airwaves, on networks, or on-line and how to deal with it.
The ethical questions from the perspective of the players, game companies and policy makers to promote ethical play both virtually and in the real world.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. • Millions of men, women, adults and children play video
games. However most gamers don’t realize that these video
games can have a underlying effect on our mind and morals,
especially on our youth.
• There is no punishment for repeated violence or aggression, it
becomes a continuous cycle of reward.
• The violence is presented as justified and without punishment.
• What effect does this violence have on the developing brain of
a child or a young adult. Will they mimic these behaviors in
society?
Introduction
4. • Everyday adults and parents
buy these violent video games
without sufficient information
as to what kind of content is in
the game or what affect the
game might have on their
children.
• To inform parents that there are
potential side effects.
• My mission is to provide them
with information on ways to
prevent exposure to such
content and better ways to
monitor their children.
Executive Summary
5. • To truly get an understanding of the topic I looked at literature
reviews and did extensive secondary research.
• I used this research so I can better inform my target audience
• The research pointed out three main areas of concern for
children and young adults playing violent video games.
Areas of Concern:
1. Awareness
2. Possible side effect of continued exposure
3. General Statistics
Secondary Research
6. • Parents are not aware of what they are buying their
children.
• Parents are not aware of the ESRB rating system much
like the TV rating system for video games.
• Parents lack information about the types of video games
and their content.
1. Awareness
7. • Desensitization Theory - Through
time we become less sensitive to
violent things we see or hear about
because we are so exposed to it in
a certain medium. Continued
exposure to content makes the
child less sensitive to the material
they see.
• Modeling Theory - A child models
what they see on the TV or in
video games.
2. Side Effects
8. • 45 % of all video game players are under the age of 18,
that means that of the 146 million gamers in the United
States, 65.7 million are children and teens. 20 million
video game players are 12 and under, according to a Wall
Street Journal survey (10/14/02).
• 78 % of unaccompanied children ages 13–16 were able to
buy Mature-rated games at retail stores, according to a
secret shopper survey conducted by the Federal Trade
Commission in 2001. (Smith)
3. General Statistics
9.
10. • The number of violent interactions in a 10-minute play
period ranged from 2 to 124. (Smith)
• In 98 % of the games surveyed, aggression went
unpunished. In fact, in more than half the video games the
perpetrators were rewarded for their aggressive actions.
(Smith)
This secondary research makes it apparent that there
should be a clear concern about our youth and violence
in video games.
3. General Statistics
(cont.)
11. Strengths
• Existing ESRB rating system
• Employees of retail stores
aren’t aware of the importance
of the ESRB rating system
Weaknesses
• Rating system is not stringent
enough
• Rating system is not being
enforced by retail store owners
Situational Analysis
12. Opportunities
• Stricter punishment for volition of selling mature
games to underage persons.
• PSA informing video game players of possible
psychological impact such as aggressive behavior
especially among children.
Threats
• ESRB age limit adjustment.
• Continued lack of parents involvement in monitoring
their child's gaming.
Situational Analysis
(cont.)
13. • To inform, educate and raise awareness among adults so
they have a better understanding of the content and
affects violence in these games could have on their
children.
• Give parents resources to better monitor their children's
game play.
Key Message
14. • My campaign is not geared toward one audience.
• My goal is to reach out to primary and secondary
audiences, which include but are not limited to parents
and the local media.
Target Audiences
15. Parents
• Since parents are the purchasers of video
games for their children they will be my
primary audience.
• My campaign will directly reach out to
parents in the Jacksonville, FL metropolitan
area
Primary Audiences
16. Local Media
• Violence in video games and its relationship to our youth
should be a major concern not for our parents but also the
community.
• Target local Jacksonville station (TV, Radio).
• Create public service announcements and press releases
about violence in video games and give them to local
electronic and print media.
