Subject is social work and not psychology
For this week’s discussion, read the articles in this week’s overview. Then think of an example in a movie or television show you’ve seen where the music, lighting, or other effects contribute to a personification of nature as sinister, evil, or scary. Tell us about it, or better yet, post a video of a scene representing this common media habit. Once you start paying attention to this, you’ll see it everywhere in often over-the-top ways! Tell us about your response to the articles and topic in general. Do you think this is an important issue? Has it affected you personally? . What do you think can be done to help mitigate the negative effects of media portrayals/irrational fears of nature for children and adolescents?
On a deeper level do you agree or disagree with Linda Hogan’s sentiments? Any additional thoughts or reflections on her comments/poem?
