Should Children Read/Watch the News?
article by John Guthrie
Violence, drugs, rape, poverty, and much much
more......Would you like your children exposed
to these? NO WAY! (at least I would
hope not)
Well, these things do happen in
our world, as
much as we may wish that they didn't.
Some
people are exposed to these more than others.
One way of letting others know about
these
things that take place in this world, is through
what we call news. *NOTE* The following is
not
based on a true story, as far as I'm aware
it is
also fictional, and is used to.......oh, just
read.......
Picture yourself watching the news........the
reporters is reporting on a bombing that has
taken place within the last hour.......An
entire
country has been completely
destroyed.......Millions of lives lost......How
could
this happen?............Didn't all of the
nations
permanently disable their nuclear
weapons?........Did I mention that your kid(s)
are
watching......
It's news! You want to be informed of
what's
going on in the world, don't you? Your
kids
should know of what's happening as it's their
world too, shouldn't they? But then
again, you
don't really want your children exposed to
these
kinds of things, do you? What do you
think?
Please send me your comments on
this article
to: [email protected] If I get a lot
of feedback
on this, I might do a follow-up article in
a future
edition.
