Common Sense Alternative Media In America

By Miranda Sweeney


Living in the world today, it is easy for some to see why parents wish to preview movies and television shows before allowing children of a certain age to watch. At the same time, censorship has always been a controversial issue related to individuals of any age. For those who believe in censorship, the Common Sense Alternative Media website can be of assistance.

An organization whose mission is to educate, advocate and rate different types of media aimed at children, teens and young adults. The organization saves parents a lot of time by providing a number of editorials and reviews about different movies and shows on the website. There is also a blog on which parents and educators can communicate directly related to any issues going on at home or school that might be interfering with grades or learning as a whole.

A website provides a great wealth of information, including an "Editor's Pick" section. There is also a topics section which covers important topics of the day like "bullying, " and other issues. The section also host the information on privacy and social networking etiquette.

A Video section provides previews of first run movies and those yet to be released. There is also a section for reviews written by a variety of contributors. A parents and educator blog has put an end to the dreaded in-school parent teacher conference. Educators and parents can now discuss issues on the blog or video blog at times convenient for both parties.

The organization became well known after having been in the news related to the leak that Congress wanted to take over the internet. Whether true, or not, talking about government intentions in public with an individual or group is never a good idea. One reason this is the case is because there could be others listening to the conversation.

Censorship whether personal or provided by an organization is, has and always will be controversial. Parental control over children has always been the way of life when it comes to television. At least, up until the introduction of cable and satellite programming. At which time, the programming reached levels of maturity with images of sex and violence that could land a parent in jail by sheer accident.

What matters most is the overall health and well being of the child, teen or young adult. The parents are ultimately responsible for the actions of a young child. When it comes to children over the age of twelve, then parental involvement collides with peer pressure and fault could lie elsewhere. Still, troubled souls became that way because of something somewhere in the past. One reason some areas are now passing laws that hold parents responsible for a number of crimes committed by the child.

Most children who grow up in peace, love and harmony are going to grow up a peaceful loving adult. Children prone to behavioral issues, domestic or sexual abuse and other negative environmental aspects are more likely to grow up with issues. One reason it is important to understand the right methods or rewarding good behaviors while overlooking bad behaviors from an early age.
