Theory questions and your opinion 1) Social learning theory has been criticised for simplifying the causes of violence in society. Do you think the media is responsible for anti-social behaviour and violence? -I think the media only holds a share of their role in making audiences anti-social and violent, because audiences can chose to not consume media but they do it willingly. This just makes them to blame as much as the media. 2) How is social learning theory relevant in the digital age? Are young people now learning behaviour from social media and the internet? Give examples. -I think young kids are indeed learning from social media and the internet because if they see something in the media that is seen as a norm then they will also try to follow and do the same things as others. This is bad for the  behaviour  and mental well being of the young kids. 3) Research  three  examples of moral panic from the last 50 years. To what extent was the media responsible for these moral panics?

Hypodermic needle model 1) Read this  Mail Online article about the effects of videogames . How does this article link to the hypodermic needle model? -The article shows that children are easily influenced by the people around them and also they media around them. Children take in the action and behaviour they see quickly, this could cause them to become more aggressive and mentally unstable. 2) How does coverage of the Talk Talk hacking case (see Daily Mail front page below) link to the hypodermic needle model? Why might someone  criticise  this front page?  -That a young child can be easily influenced by the media and what they consume will shape the type of person they are and how in the future their behaviour will be influenced b the type of video games they play. On the other hand if another child was playing a family and child friendly game they would grow up being more friendly and not more aggressive unlike this 15 year old. 3) What do  you  think of the hypodermic needle theor

    WWW:  I enjoyed your first blog task - I like your reasoning for choosing the study Media Studies and hopefully with this A-Level you can fulfil your aspirations of an apprenticeship working within real estate. Also, fantastic to see you are aiming for an A* in the subject - a lot of hard work and dedication required to ensure you meet this grade.   EBI:  Two key areas to improve here: firstly, some of your work is missing or unfinished and it’s important to make sure you are organised and fully completing work. Make sure you post the Reception theory, Genre, and Narrative blogs as soon as you can. On a side note, try and develop your exposure to other forms of media such as Newspapers, to ensure you are exposed to a variety of newsworthy content.   LR:  Complete any missing or unfinished work.   Reflect on your work in A Level Media so far: -What is your strongest piece of work?  -My strongest piece of work  was the media consumption  audit because   I  have clearly shown why I  w
