1. Consider: Think back to your own childhood, your life at home as a teenager, and some
of the things you experienced that were not so pleasant. We are not asking you to write
about these matters—only to think about them. Now consider how childhood and
adolescence is portrayed in the media through commercials, print ads, as well as movies
and TV programs. In 250-500 words, explore some of the common themes about
childhood and adolescence presented in the media. Are most of the messages positive or
negative?
2. View: Look at the 10 powerpoint slides and their accompanying text. One of the strong
messages of this module is that children who witnessed or experienced violence in their
childhood home are at greater risk in their future. Reflect, in 250 words or less, what you
take away from this finding.
3. Read: Now it is time to read the three assigned articles. Summarize (in approximately
500-600 words) the main results or conclusions of the three articles. Identify at least one
observation or finding that surprises you for each article and reflect on why this is the
case.
4. Implications: Imagine that you have been invited to share some thoughts with a group of
14-16 year old teenage males at a local high school. Based on your readings and your
reflections through this module, identify in bullet form three points that you would stress
to these young men
