If you do not want your children to grow up like Paris or Lindsey you must intervene, teaching your children to use their judgement independent from society.

Is all about looks and popularity. For example, in this year when Rutgers University paid Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi from the reality show "Jersey Shore" more than Toni Morrison a Nobel Prize winner in Literature. Yeah celebrities may attract more the public's attention but what Snooki said is it positive towards society or would Mr. Morrison would have said something more... genuine.<br />Remember people "study hard but party harder" (Polizzi)Astrid Beatonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-39873801796903325332011-05-19T14:15:36.651-04:002011-05-19T14:15:36.651-04:00The first step is getting rid of cable TV in your ...The first step is getting rid of cable TV in your own home. I have gotten rid of cable since I'm raising my 8 year old daughter. Instead of being pumped full of news, shows, & commercials whose designs are based on sociological studies in order to prey on our desires & prejudices she now thrives on cooking shows, travel shows, painting & sewing shows, & nature programming.<br /><br />On top of that "I'm" not bombarded with the bought & paid for screaming heads that make up the extremely biased modern US News Media who above all preys on & exploits us based on our cultural prejudices & stereotypes.<br /><br />Try antena TV. I have over 9 PBS ... that's NINE Public Broadcasting Service channels loaded with excellent programming in my home for free ... & I also get to watch "Two & a Half Men" on channel 17.<br /><br />;-)Charles Conradnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-46684009750135190492011-05-19T09:10:36.204-04:002011-05-19T09:10:36.204-04:00Kandace Clark

There are plenty of celebrities, or people like you and me who sustains good character in society, but to no avail they do not get reconized because of the overpowerment of society standards of "being cool".CCP Soc 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/03482301507306679762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-58677283830551824082011-05-18T21:09:12.221-04:002011-05-18T21:09:12.221-04:00I agree with you 100%.

I also have a niece and I wouldn't want her to be or act like Paris and Lindsey because that's not Lady Like or being a strong woman.Keira Lambertnoreply@blogger.com
