Topic #7: Reflections on film Consuming Kids - The of Childhood Commercialization Many of us, especially people born after the 1980's, assume that the current levels and types of advertising and marketing to children are normal. However, this documentary explores how these approaches have changed in response to deregularized standards. You may find this documentary interesting, as it uses the very media techniques to convey its message, as the ones used to sell products and ideas. The additional segments give more detail about the marketing strategies, the impact of TV violence on children's behavior, and ideas about what parents can do. How did this film tap into your own childhood memories of products, name brands, and your desire to imitate and/or acquire what you saw in media? What is your opinion about the messages that the film presents?
