Essay Progress
My essay is going okay. I'm gathering a lot of sources and trying to figure out where I want to go from there. My thesis is: Children today are more exposed to innapropriate material than children in the 1930's. The research is going really well. I'm finding all I want and then some. One challenge is trying to compare the outcome of today's kids to the 1930's kids. I can't seem to find anything about how the censorship affected the kids of 1930, but I can find out quite a bit on today's. Right now, I have a brief history about the Hays Code to set up a little background and also I have how the radio affects children today (still questioning if I want to include this, or stick strictly with television and movies. Also considering school censorship). I guess my biggest difficulty is trying to decide what I want to include and want to "toss out."

Your topic is a good idea! It is different from the ones that I have read that are seriously tied to the book we read in class. Hope your paper is going well! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like your topic too! I think it will be very interesting to read and learn about. Obviously television and movies are big variables in what children are exposed to today, but did you also consider video games and the internet? You can't directly compare the exposure of these two variables now to the exposure in 1930's considering they did not exist, yet you can compare just the overall exposure to violence from the two eras using these variables.
ReplyDeleteYour topic is very interesting. I believe alot of individuals would agree with your thesis statement. Sounds like you have alot of information at your disposal. Keep up the good work.
