Description: This book offers a comprehensive solution with a research approach to the background of child and adolescent development interaction with modern media. The research approach is based on the media effects tradition. The author aims to monitor the most controversial topics and discussions regarding mass media and public health because children, as the most viewing audience of media and media consumers, must be aware of and equipped with these methods. Each chapter of this book provides the latest research on important children’s issues as well as seminars, including topics such as: advertising, violence, video games, sexuality, drugs, body image, eating disorders, music, and internet. Since dry and boring plain text is tiresome, the content of each section is presented with pictures, examples, caricatures, and other images of politics and real-life media manifestations. Also, in the media literacy section of the book, solutions are provided for children and young people to help them solve problems arising from media effects. The second edition of the book includes new chapters, including showing the useful aspects of media, which includes facilities that serve development and education. In the second edition, the following chapters have been added to the book:
- Two chapters on the useful and educational aspects of media
- A chapter on media and family that helps parents adopt appropriate strategies in their mediating role between siblings and media and how to reduce its effects
- Expansion of questionable and sexual language and its current problems
- Practical exercises and activities at the end of each chapter
- Readings and suggestions at the end of each chapter.
