The Effects of Media and Advertising
Does Media and Advertising
have a negative effect on
Children and young people??


Yes!!
Media and advertising definitely have a negative
effect on children because:
If a child sees a picture or video of someone famous
dressed in short skirts, make up and inappropriate
clothing they will think that they will have to dress
like that to be ‘cool’, ‘popular’ and ‘famous’.
When children see these dreadful images of
celebrities and famous people they feel that they
aren’t good enough and change themselves into
that exact image.

If children have grown up looking at these
disgraceful images they will act and dress like this.
Media changes children’s body image because if a
child sees a celebrity that is skinny, they will
change their personality and body image.
Media affects children’s relationships with
parents, friends and siblings.
Media also affects personalities and how people
think of things.
Media affects our natural beauty because we put
too much make-up on and cover our face up with
products we don’t need.
Media makes children selfish and greedy.
If we were the Commissioners
for a day
If we were the Commissioners for a day we would:
• Stop the whole world from viewing these horrible
and inappropriate videos, advertisements and
images.
Nicki Minaj


Nicki Minaj is a singer whose songs have very
inappropriate lyrics and language for our age
group and even older than that!!
Her music videos are offensive and she wears
clothes that don’t cover her body enough and
some music videos are so bad that you have to be
over the age of 18 to view them!!
Lady Gaga


Lady Gaga is an inappropriate singer who wears
dreadful clothes and hair such as the revolting
meat dress she wore to the Video Music Awards.
The lyrics of her songs are very ear-piercing for
the young children and when they grow up they
will think they will have to say stuff like that to be
‘awesome’ and ‘spectacular’.

Bratz Dolls
Bratz dolls are unsuitable for young children
because they are wearing short skirts and bra
tops, have nail polish on, and are even wearing
eyeliner and other types of makeup! These
improper girls grow up playing with Bratz dolls, so
they think they will have to dress like that.
Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus started off as a young girl with big
dreams and then she got her dream, and threw it
down the drain. She was an inspiration to young
boys and girls, and then wrecked it all, by going
out in night clubs, taking drugs and doing
inappropriate things for her age group.
to
Barbie Dolls


Barbie dolls are made for little girls to play with.
When you buy them they come in short skirts and
bra tops.
If young girls have grown up looking and playing
with these dolls they will be influenced by them
and act and dress like this.
Ke$h@


Ke$h@ is a natural beauty but hides it away by
putting an overload of make up on.
Her videos and songs contain repulsive language
and she doesn’t care that little kids hear it in the
lyrics.
Willow Smith


Willow Smith is only 11 years old and she has
already released her own album, and has already
pierced her tongue.
She has shaved her head bald and dresses and
acts like she is an adult.
LMFAO



LMFAO’s name stands for something ear-piercing.
They have released some very inappropriate
songs, including ‘Party Rock Anthem’ and ‘I’m Sexy
and I Know It’.
In the video clips you have to be over the age of
18 to view them.
Advertising


Advertisements persuade children and young people to
buy unnecessary products because if people see a
celebrity using the product they will go and buy it,
hoping that they will turn out popular, just like the
celebrity on the advertisement.
Everything that you see on advertisements are actually
fake, for example the Dove Evolution ad.
