Many people would agree that what is on the media isn't always a positive influence. The question is: how do we monitor it? I believe that parents should do there best to prevent their children from watching/listening to things they do not approve of. However, children will always find a way to watch and listen to what they want. I think keeping an open relationship with your child is the best thing you can do. If children feel comfortable talking to you and don't feel threatened, they will be more open to you about what is going on in their life. It can bring a lot of peace of mind if you know who your child's friends are. Keep your door open for your child and their friends to come over because this will allow you to get to know your child's friends and allow you to monitor what they are doing.

I definitely agree that parents should monitering the media that is influencing thier kids. Those are some good ideas of ways they can do that.
I perceive that the biggest difference between the current generation of students and those past is the family influence. It seems that generally, families were much more tight-knit in the past, so that's where kids got their moral basis. Today, it's the media! Television and internet can be dangerous if not properly mediated by parents.
