Blog Recommendations

Hi everyone!
I have visited some very interesting blogs concerning contemporary issues dealing with problems in society we live in, and I would like to invite you to have a look at them.

Margarita Fatina’s blog deals with stereotyping of teenagers and its negative effects. More concretely, she makes a point that teenagers are stereotyped as users of drugs and alcohol, and she also discuss the issue of teen pregnancy. Rita claims that these stereotypes influence and further support such behavior among teens. She shows her point on examples from realty shows that majority of teenagers watch. Have a look!

Assel Biyeva’s blog similarly concentrates on the topic of stereotyping women as sexual objects. She explores how women should look like according to media images, how it negatively influences children, and how it promotes teenage sex and pregnancy. Assel is in favor of setting strict limits to avoid such stereotyping of women.

Barbora Netolicka’s blog criticizes political advertising and points out negative aspects of it. She also provides a lot of examples form real political campaigns, which support her argument that political advertising should be limited. It is worth looking at.

Marita Gurchiani’s blog is very similar to mine and discuss the issue of media and violence. She precisely explored violence in music videos, news media and internet. Marita concentrates on how violence as entertainment negatively influences children, and supports limitation and censorship of violent scenes or images in media.

Beatrice Jahodova’s blog explores the body image of women in media with connection to unrealistic image of beauty, which leads to developing health problems and eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia. It is very serious issue in society and young women need to know about the risks to prevent them. I think every teenager or young women should be educated about this problem, and to look at this blog is a good start.
