As youngsters have their first online experiences at ever younger ages, parents and educators of very young children need to confront these issues, too. Young people cannot imagine their lives without access to the Internet, which they perceive as a fundamental right. A growing number of schools, acting in cooperation with external stakeholders, take prevention measures to this end. These are accompanied by a noticeable increase in the number of initiatives reported each year as part of events like Safer Internet Day. However, new Internet challenges and the system of values promoted by bloggers and extremely popular portals, whose only goal is to achieve a maximum number of visits, are phenomena that lessen the influence of families and schools on how children perceive the world. Cooperation of international teams, public awareness campaigns and the use of research findings aim at developing students’ digital competences and skills, while respecting the rights and dignity of Internet users. The issue of cybersecurity is also extremely important for teachers and students involved in eTwinning and Erasmus+ projects run by the Foundation for the Development of the Education System (Fundacja Rozwoju Systemu Edukacji, FRSE). These undertakings promote the young generation’s responsible behaviour on the Internet, indicating proven ways of online functioning and methods of dealing with threats. This publication aims to help readers better understand the virtual world, which is steadily entering our daily lives, and discuss selected aspects of this dynamically changing space. It presents social research on the phenomenon of the World Wide Web. Home 10 It is thanks to this research that we can attempt to analyse the current situation relating to children’s and young people’s use of new media. We can also look back to the past and try to anticipate trends, opportunities and threats that may become part of online activity in the near future. An excellent example of research that allows us to trace the path of ever- -changing online reality is the international research network which aims to raise awareness of the opportunities, risks and safety of European children online. It uses a wide variety of methods to map the Internet experiences of young people and their parents and to engage in dialogue with national and European political stakeholders. This project funded by the European Commission has made it possible to follow developments in Internet use since 2006. On the Polish market, similar goals are pursued by the “Nastolatki 3.0” [Teenagers 3.0] research carried out cyclically since 2014. This publication presents both risks and opportunities brought about by the Internet. Its contributors are major figures in educational circles in Poland and abroad. They have made a significant contribution to research into phenomena occurring online and created models and recommendations in the field of media education. Due to the chosen perspective and the complexity of issues presented here, the publication is divided into two parts. The articles featured here present structured information on risks and on the role which media education should play in monitoring and preventing online threats, as well as detailed data on computer games and the importance of a sustainable approach to gaming. Readers can become acquainted with reflections on “digital natives” and “digital immigrants”, which form a basis for inquiring whether today’s young people really are indigenous inhabitants of the virtual world and whether they really differ significantly from previous generations. The authors analyse the Internet’s potential as an area of young people’s socialisation, learning, privacy management and building digital citizenship. It is assumed that this publication will be of help when solving everyday dilemmas, such as how to protect children and youth from harmful content. The goal is to raise awareness among teachers and parents so that they can effectively protect children from the challenges of the global network and from undertaking risky behaviours.

The authors present major paradigms conceptualizing new forms of socialization and examine their validity and usefulness in analyzing processes induced by the ongoing technological revolution. In the second part the article examines the impact of new cultural practices on spheres associated with emotions, aggression and personal identity-creation strategies among the contemporary youth.

Due to the importance of the problem and the scale of interest, many researchers, striving to obtain answers to the questions asked, often formulate them based on partial

As in the inaugural survey in 2008, the Institute asked Illinoisans about their quality of life and about ways to deal with the state’s crippling budget deficits—whether cutting government spending or enhancing revenues. We also asked their opinions on a number of political and electoral reform ideas that had been well publicized over the summer of 2009 by the Illinois Reform Commission, appointed by Gov.

  • EFA and Ausgamers' Submission Is Here
    Submission to the Public Consultation on an R18+ Classification for Computer Games The Australian National Classification Scheme should include an R18+ classification category for computer games Electronic Frontiers Australia and AusGamers Prepared on behalf of Electronic Frontiers Australia and AusGamers by Nicolas Suzor, Kylie Pappalardo and Jessica Citizen, assisted by Matt Postle and Peta Waller-Bryant. Many thanks to Julian Merlo for his research on comparative ratings, and to Jeremy Huppatz, Luke Tubnor, and others for their comments on drafts of this paper. Layout by Amanda Rainey at Raivans Design. February 2010 Electronic Frontiers Australia and AusGamers Introduction The purpose of this paper is to put forward arguments and evidence to support the case that it is time to upgrade the National Classification System (NCS) to include an R18+ adult classification for computer games. In this submission, we make three main arguments: 1. the arguments against introducing an R18+ rating are premised primarily on incorrect assumptions about games and their effects; and 2. introducing an R18+ classification to bring games in line with films will better empower Australian adults to make more informed decisions for themselves and on behalf of the children for whom they are responsible; 3. Australian adults should not be prevented from engaging with interactive entertainment that deals with complex adult themes and material and imagery that is unsuitable for children. This paper was compiled on behalf of Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) and AusGamers. EFA is Australia’s peak national non-profit organisation representing Internet users concerned with on-line freedoms and rights. AusGamers is one of Australia’s largest gaming and technology sites, and has been a primary hub for the gaming community in Australia since its creation in 1999.

This study contributes to the field of children and media by looking into the perceptions and construction of risk by self-regulatory organizations, as well as into self-regulatory effectiveness. The thesis also discusses the struggle and the compromises between child safety, cultural differences and freedom of expression. It takes up the question of how the cultural differences affect the age ratings and content descriptors. All video games rated in Europe and Japan between 2010-2016 are analyzed to show the differences between the regions. Also, content analyses are performed on 24 video games with emblematic differences in age ratings or content descriptors. The findings suggest that cultural differences in how the two systems view crime, non-realistic violence, realistic blood, non-sexual nudity, romantic behavior, and sexualized behavior is responsible for some of the differences in age ratings and content descriptors.

    Motion picture content rating system A motion picture content rating system is an organization designated to classify films based on their suitability for audiences due to their treatment of issues such as sex, violence, or substance abuse; their use of profanity; or other matters typically deemed unsuitable for children or adolescents. Most countries have some form of rating system that issues determinations variously known as certifications, classifications, certificates, or ratings. Age recommendations, of either an advisory or restrictive capacity, are often applied in lieu of censorship; in some jurisdictions movie theaters may have a legal obligation to enforce restrictive ratings. In countries such as Australia and Singapore, an official government body decides on ratings; in other countries such as the United States, it is done by industry committees with little if any official government status. In most countries, however, films that are considered morally offensive have been censored, restricted, or banned. Even if the film rating system has no legal consequences, and a film has not explicitly been restricted or banned, there are usually laws forbidding certain films, or forbidding minors to view them. The influence of specific factors in deciding a rating varies from country to country. In countries such as the United States, films with strong sexual content tend to be restricted to older viewers, though those same films are very often considered suitable for all ages in countries such as France and Germany. In contrast, films with violent content which would be rated leniently in the United States and Australia are often subject to high ratings and sometimes even censorship in countries such as Germany and Finland.

  • UPDATED List of Key Supporters of Both Bills ) T EAMWORK !!
    ( UPDATED List of key supporters of both bills ) T EAMWORK !! Introduction: It seems all my lawmakers (of both parties) are scared of their shadow with regard to “doing the right thing” in both “spending cuts” and “tax cuts.” So, I'm dipping into the archives, and finding my letter to President Trump, dated Wednesday, 24 April 2019, where I “make my case” to The President that he should listen to me: I AM NOT ALONE! – But, since then, I've found more “supporters” for both bills—and am updating my list accordingly. THEREFORE, oh ye lawmakers, ye who be afraid—have faith and fear not: See how many other supporters there are, and stop cowering in fear: ACT before we crash the dollar!! By Gordon Wayne Watts ( GordonWatts.com / GordonWayneWatts.com ) Date: Tuesday, 27 October 2020 My father (the late Bobby Watts, R.I.P., dad) once told me that if I was trying to fight a problem that was too big for me, to NOT “go it alone,” but rather, ask for help from others to add their voice to mine. To that end, here's a list ( with references ) of supporters of both bills for which I'm asking your advocacy & support, Pres. Trump. “Loan Limits” bill –to limit use of U.S. Tax Dollars to make/back Collegiate Loans: AKA 'spending cuts' “LOAN LIMITS” = “SPENDING CUTS” – Before we get going, let me make it clear: The “loan limits” requests of The President =EQUAL= “spending cuts,” in spite of occasional objections. TEST-TIME: Before I tell you why, can YOU tell ME why? That's right: “Loan Limits” equal “spending cuts,” because our tax dollars are being used to make or “back” (guarantee) said student loans.

    MARKET SHARES CORPORATION [email protected] This Chicago Tribune Poll is based on interviews of confirmed registered voters likely to vote in the February 2nd Democratic and Republican primaries. In 2008, Illinois primary elections were moved to the first Tuesday in February - for both presidential and off-year state office contests. Before then, primaries were held on the third Tuesday in March. Interviewing was conducted December 2nd to the 8th. State samples of 600 were interviewed for each state primary. Potential margin of error for each sample is +/- 4.0% at the 95% confidence level. Likely voting was determined based on scale question response. Qualifying answers were: absolutely or very certain to vote, always or very often vote in primaries, and definitely or probably will vote. DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ELECTION GOVERNOR This race will remain a two-man race between candidates well known across the state - the incumbent Governor, former Lt Governor and former Treasurer Pat Quinn versus Dan Hynes who has served as Comptroller since 1998. As with the Senate candidates, their opinion ratings are positive.
