Introduction How many people visit your house during the course of a week? How many friends do you invite over? Most of us are picky about whom we hang out with. Most parents pay attention to what sort of friends their children bring home. Most homes do not welcome just anyone, and strangers, in particular, are not freely admitted. Yet almost every American plays host to hundreds of "friends" each week, virtual strangers who not only come into our home, but dominate our attention with their behavior and stories. They set examples by their behavior. They have agendas, particularly about our money. They claim that they, and the world they come from, are like us, though this resemblance is often highly fabricated. This extra population is not lined up at our front door, but instead enters through an appliance that is usually installed near the heart of our homes. This appliance, of course, is the television. Almost every American born in the second half of this century has spent thousands of hours in the company of this extra population of friends. To us, these friends can be as influential as any we meet on the playground or in the school yard. However, most of us do not consider this a real influence because these friends, these television characters, are "not real" Countless studies have proven otherwise. Television and other media do have a deep influence on our behavior. In fact, the entire commercial media system -- and the billions of dollars in profits it has made -- exists by its power to influence audiences. The fact is, we don't often think about television and other media. Certainly not the way we think about whom we allow to come into our home. This unthinking attitude about media can be likened to the awareness of fish who have spent their entire life deep within the sea and are not mindful of the water which sways and carries them upon its currents. Most of us are not able to "get outside" of media and consider the way it shapes the cultural environment in which we live, work and play. To think critically about media, we need some guidance. Fortunately, there is a pathway to really knowing about television, films, radio, the Internet and other media. It is called media literacy, and it is from this center that the FLASHPOINT program builds. vi FLASHPOINT does not teach that media is bad, or good. But it does demonstrate that there is a real advantage to thinking in new ways about media which are part of our daily lives. Part of this advantage comes from questioning the behaviors of the "friends" that stream into our homes through media, and particularly their behaviors that involve violence, substance abuse and prejudice. FLASHPOINT uses media literacy to teach us several basic facts about media.When we apply these facts, our viewing becomes more thoughtful and insightful and less habitual. Very briefly, these are the key concepts of media literacy. All Media are Constructed. Every form of media we hear and see is built from smaller pieces; the same as a watch or recipe. All Media, from a Superbowl broadcast to a church bulletin, have agendas and goals. These agendas may be motivated by monetary, social, artistic or other purposes. Media convey values. Characters and their stories set examples for behaviors, attitudes and philosophies of life. Individuals filter what they see and hear through their own experiences. We all have a slightly different outlook that influences the way we perceive and interpret what we watch. Language is not the only way content is communicated. Each medium has a par- ticular inner language that affects the meaning of what is communicated. Form and content merge to create a meaningful whole. Building on this knowledge, FLASHPOINT questions the violence, substance abuse and biases that are so often portrayed in media. Using samples from film, television and print media, it raises ques- tions about these issues in a way that enables participants to examine their attitudes and "habits of mind" regarding such behaviors. As media literacy changes our relationship with TV, movies, radio and other forms of media, we begin to see the world, and our place in it, from a different standpoint.This can be the starting point for many things, including a healthier and more farsighted approach to life and decision making. vii You are like pioneers, who are about to get the "inside story" about media. It's a story about construction. It's a story about money. It's a story about values, and who gets to decide which ones are expressed. It's a story about creativity. It's a story about points of view, and different ways of knowing. Finally, it's a story about something we all want, and that is power. Because media are such a powerful force in our culture, knowing how they work can be a pathway to that power. We think that this program called FLASHPOINT will help to get us there. Thank you for joining us on this skill-building journey. viii Pla es Q (9 TAKE I Places, FACTS ABOUT MEDIA Young people are an important influence market

  • THE SEVEN MINUTES Irving Wallace
    First published in Great Britain by New English Library Ltd, in 1969 Copyright © 1969 by Irving Wallace THE SEVEN MINUTES Irving Wallace By eleven o'clock in the morning the sun had come out, and now the women of Oakwood, most of them housewives in summer attire and most of them at the wheels of their own cars, were converging on the business district to do their shopping. In the suddenly thickening traffic, the green two-door Ford coupe with a nasty dent in its front fender was at last forced to slow down. Slumped in the seat beside the driver, Otto Kellog grunted his displeasure, then sat up impatiently to get his bearings. He resented delays at a time like this, when he was anxious about what he must soon do. He wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible. There was a jarring screech as Iverson, who was driving the car, slammed on the brake, muttering, 'Goddam women drivers.' 'Yeah,' said Keliog. 'Wish they'd get moving.' In the rear the third occupant of the coupe, Eubank, older, more tolerant, less often exposed to the outside world than his companions, seemed to be enjoying the interval. He had brought himself forward from the back seat to peer over Iverson's shoulder through the windshield. 'So this is Oakwood,' he said. 'Attractive. I don't know how many times I've been out this way, but I guess I never paid much attention before.' 'Nothing so different,' said Iverson, easing his foot off the brake. 'It's still Los Angeles County.' 'Well, it just looks more prosperous and settled down,' said Eubank.
