Discuss differences between media as a source of socialization and other sources of socialization for adolescents
What will be an ideal response
A recent national survey showed that more (49%) adolescents said "they learn a lot from" television and movies than from their mothers (38%) or fathers (31%). • Media is market driven and therefore its consumers (i.e., adolescents) largely determine the content. Therefore, adolescents have greater control over media as a socialization source than they do over other sources of socialization. • The limited time parents and adolescents spend together makes it difficult for parents to enforce restrictions over adolescents' media consumption
