Lesson 1 Assignment #2: Monitoring Contemporary Concerns in the Media –
Discussion Board
Chapter 1 of Child Development indicates that significant contemporary concerns in child
psychology are changes in the family, child healthcare, educational reform, and
sociocultural issues such as gender roles and ethnic minorities. Monitor a newspaper,
radio news program, or television news program, or internet news program for a few days
to a week and keep a record of stories that reflect each of these concerns. That is, search
the paper for news items or listen to news broadcasts, and make a record of stories that
reflect these concerns. When you are done, tally the number of stories that reflect each
concern. Post your findings and answers to the following questions on the Discussion
Board. In addition, I would like you to respond to the posting of at least one other
student in a way that extends that student’s response.
Questions

2. Were the concerns you encountered in each category focused on one particular kind
of story? Or were there a number of different kinds of news items that reflected a
variety of concerns within each category? Explain your answer.
3. Did the stories reflect a life-span or developmental perspective? Or did they reflect
some other way of viewing the contemporary concerns about adolescence? Explain
