bLog 3
As the video states, children at early ages are exposed to violence in a variety of media’s. Now violence and war are considered to be factors evil. Distinguishing between good and evil, are one of the ways that the media captures its viewers attention. The good guy uses guns and attempts to kill his enemy, but does this make him/her evil? This makes that hero seem just as bad. War is always going to be devastating no matter where it takes place. Depending on which side that one person is on, will decide if they are good or evil. There is no official way to stop a child from taking in the world around him/her. The parent might not let them watch TV at the home, but at school they hear it or see it from friends. Good and evil are all around us, always. Yes, people want evil to stop, but the reality is that it’s impossible for the time being. When trying to make money to support a family, there are those who are selfish and then someone else is left with less. I’m not saying that I am perfect, but I have I will say that everyone COULD have a bad side.

I agree with this topic. It is impossible to keep our children from seeing evil things that are happening around us.
Just yesterday, my only child was having a temper-tantrum. We drove by a few squatters that were tucked away just off the side of the road, we asked if she would rather be out there with them. First, we had to explain what a squatter was. But in the end she straightened her attitude out.
My child hears all sorts of things at the playground of her school. Things that when I was a child, I would never thought of coming home and repeating. There is more cussing going on and the language is rather foul. Many video games portray evil, unless all you do is play Hello Kitty - then you might be safe.
Even the music that is played on the radio, my child was listening to Radio Disney and some song came on and it was not appropriate for my child to listen too. At this point, I am not sure that all the words were understood. But they are repeated as some form of dance is created.
Even the talent shows at elementary schools these days have a chance to resemble something you might see at a gentleman's club instead of a school.
I like your background for your blog, creative! How do you customize your own? Also, I agree with your topic. These days it is a very hard task to especially keep your children from hearing or seeing the wrong thing. I think the main idea is to instill good habits in our childrens' lives so that in the future they will hopefully steer away from evil when it faces them.
I think that your video had gave a lot of interesting examples of evil. "Evil Doers" Hmm! Funny way to put it. Evil comes from many places and different things. Very nice choice of a topic!
