The socialization process for children now is different than previous generations because of the advancement of technology and media. The media has evolved to be better at hooking children in to new TV shows, new toys, and to act older than they are. Media allows children to mimic it and the media has become too grown up, because of this children are losing their innocence earlier and earlier, this can be seen 100% in how girls clothing has changed and reached out to younger girls too. Because of the girls trying to mature faster the boys take the heat for having to try and catch up and they are so involved with their online video games they don't even want to leave the house and socialize at all! These are not concerns to me personally, because i feel that it is each individual persons obligation to decide how they want to deal with the ever changing environment of society. Some may say well what if i had a kid then what would i think, well i wouldn't have a TV on in the house- or online video games and i would be more inclined to veer away from new technology and allow my own kid to try and adapt to the society on their own.
