Protectionism yes?

I think that youth should in some ways be shielded from the media because there are many shows that are strictly targeting the youth. This may be through advertisement, billboards, TV shows, or commercials. I feel that the media could care less about what happens to the youth, as long as they get the proper responses from them through buying their products or tuning into their channels. I feel that youth should be trusted to develop their own identity, so I think there should be a clear point where the media cannot cross. For example, reality tv shows are huge influences on the youth. If the youth see that people in real life are experiencing violence, sex, robbery, or lying then they might feel that it’s okay to do the same.
