One of the examples that forms the levels Sexualization is the images that many t.v. show plays across the channels. In today society the tv stations are exposing children to a lot of different things.
Another example of sexualization is the graphic and illustrations that children play on video games. The games shows every possible way of characters being in a very graphic form in which sees the details of the characterization.
I experience on altercation while I was working inside a summer camp program in where the young boys was telling another boy to touch him in his “private part”. That was a very challenging situation to deal with.
These might have implications on child healthy development because it will allow for children to think these things are fine because they are being expose to many differ visuals and views.
How I would expose to the negative impact on children by removing those issues from children. I would tell their parents to not allow for their children to watch those cartoons and channels that shows so much sexual and vivid images.
The ways awareness has been modified sexualization by watching the course videos and the reading resources. It allowed for me to get a better understanding relating to the Early Childhood Field.

You made a great point that I hadn’t even thought of before: the sexualization of female and male characters in video games. I can think of two video games that I played as a child that had pretty sexualized female characters: both in Zelda and Spyro. Zelda had the “Great Fairies” that were always barely clothed and large breasted, while Spyro had a female character in one of the games that looked like an animal version of Laura Croft, also barely clothed with large breasts. Its so innocent at first thought, but when you stop and think about it, why do children’s games need female characters like this?

You are absolutely correct about the video game and media/tv exposure. I struggle even as an adult watching tv and movies because it seems that you cannot even watch a movie without drug use, sexual content, violence, etc. When you go even farther with that analysis, you see that there are a lot of gender roles, sexist comments, and prejudice views. This would obviously exclude movies who are honestly trying to educate people are historical events. In the high school, the popular comments right now is “go make me a sandwich” which is a way to call someone inferior/wimp and other derogatory names by comparing them to a woman with the responsibility of cooking and being in the kitchen. This irritates me so much because they really have no idea how ignorant they sound sometimes.
