Critical Reading Response 1

Prompt: How does media function as a tool of socialization when it comes to representation and the development of identity in childhood?

In your response, be sure to:

• Explain what socialization means in the context of childhood and media.
• Analyze how identities are represented (or misrepresented) in a media example of your choice.
• Reflect on the impact of these messages: How might they shape how children of different racial backgrounds see themselves and others?
• Connect your analysis to at least one course reading or concept weve discussed.
