Nowadays in Brazil, some social organizations, governments and mass media are discussing the need to establish an oversight committee to guarantee the quality of television programmes, as well as the need to set a system to determine what kind of program is appropriate for every television time slot. Across Brazil, a representative body of children and young people have come to the conclusion that the right to receive quality television programmes is not enough. The children of the new generations think they have the right to access new technologies and the production of their own messages, in accordance with their own creativity, interests and lifestyle projects within society. Es ya tradicional que organizaciones sociales, administraciones políticas, educadores y medios de comunicación debatan en Brasil la necesidad de cuestionar la calidad de los programas televisivos y la necesaria discusión sobre los horarios de exhibición. Pero además de este permanente y creciente debate, por primera vez, una cantidad representativa de niños y jóvenes de distintas partes del país han comenzado a reclamar ellos mismos el derecho de recibir una programación de calidad. Las nuevas generaciones comienzan a reconocer sus derechos al acceso a las tecnologías y a la producción de mensajes, en virtud a su creatividad, formación y proyectos de vida en la sociedad.

Specific Education

It is necessary to establish a specific education from school and with the family collaboration about massive information which is sent by mass media, particulary television and Internet, which are preferred by children and young people. The information broadcast by mass media influences future personality and, in the case of sexual stereotypes it will take part in future interpersonal relations. Therefore, we need to analyse and lead information in a critical sense in order to get a real vision of it. It should also be pointed out the big importance of advertising spread by mass media because it is the most influent phenomena regarding on these specific stereotypes. Es necesario establecer una educación específica, desde la escuela y en colaboración con la familia, sobre la masiva información que se trasmite en los medios de comunicación más utilizados hoy en día tanto por niños como por jóvenes (televisión e Internet). La información trasmitida en los medios influye en la configuración de la personalidad futura y en el caso de los estereotipos sexuales intervendrá en las futuras relaciones interpersonales, es por ello la necesidad de canalizar la información y analizarla críticamente para obtener una visión real de la misma. Especial mención merece la publicidad que se propaga en estos medios ya que es el elemento más favorecedor de dichos estereotipos y donde tenemos que hacer mayor hincapié.

Analysis of the Slovak Discourses of Sex Education Inspired by Michel FoucaultThe aims, rules and topics of sex education exist on paper, but have yet to be implemented in Slovakia. Although the curriculum creates the illusion of openness in this field, the silence on sex education in schools provides space for the alternative, "more valuable" quiet discourses of religious education. Under these conditions, it is silence that is proving to be an advantageous strategy for the majority of those who should be voicing their opinions. Instead, they listen and control. By contrast, those who do speak out, children and young people, do not in fact, speak to them, but mainly among themselves. Those who are silent and listen are not prepared for the younger generations confessions on sexuality, which are mostly taken from the liberal area of media, especially the internet. The silent frequently lack, at the very least, the basic ability to react and debate in this changed situation. Those who are involved in the discussion on sexuality in Slovakia are those who should listen and supervise.

Exchange Information

With the development of new digital technologies, the internet, and mass media, including social media, it is now possible to produce, consume, and exchange information and virtual creations in a simple and practically instantaneous way. As predicted by philosophers and sociologists in the 1980s, a culture of “prosumers” has been developed in communities where there is no longer a clear distinction between content producers and content users and where there is a continuous exchange of knowledge that enriches the whole community. The teaching of “digital creativity” can also take advantage of the fact that young people and adults are particularly attracted to these fields, which they perceive akin to their playful activities and which are normally used in an often sterile and useless way in their free time. The didactic sense of these experiences is that we try to build a cooperative group environment in which to experiment, learn, and exchange knowledge equally among all the participants.

Past presidents of ALSC—some of whom have been interviewed recently by ALSC’s Oral History Committee—probably would not be surprised at how much children’s services have changed since the 1940s, when ALA formed a Division for Children and Young People (a precursor name to ALSC).  But what may surprise many is how computers and the Internet have become omnipresent virtual tools to help children’s librarians with everything from selection to services. Social media—and all its iterations and segments—is a huge part of who librarians are and can be today. Here’s a brief, non-scientific look at how some of our colleagues use one of these tools, Pinterest.

Use Of The Internet

Young people can potentially be exposed to sexual material from a variety of sources, both accidentally and purposefully. One such source, the internet, plays host to a vast array of information and imagery, among which sexually explicit material and pornography are in high concentration. Indeed within this virtual catalogue of material it is possible to find both adult and child pornography, particularly if one is aware of the correct methods of accessing such content. This chapter provides an in-depth overview of current knowledge regarding young people’s exposure to and experiences of sexual material and sexual predators online, including those particular aspects of young people’s online interactions that make them vulnerable to receive unwanted sexual material and solicitation. The authors then discuss the use of the Internet for the sexual exploitation of children and young people both in the nature of sexual material to which they are exposed to online including the transmission of images of child pornography and molestation, the processes by which young people access sexual material online, the solicitation of children by sexual predators in targeting young people and how young people in turn come to interact with sexual predators online. Finally they address current mechanisms designed to protect children and young people as they engage in online activities.

The 2020 pandemic has created great global changes, both in the increased use of media and information, the creation of new digital applications, and new online jobs. At the same time, various types of violence have increased on the Internet, higher levels of discouragement, depression, and loneliness have been detected in both young people and adults. This article addresses six post­pandemic issues, realities, and challenges that must be addressed with youth alongside MIL competencies. Topics that have been developed in an educational project for leadership work in the face of changes in technological advances, Internet safety, fake news, hate speech, and the impact on emotions. In building MIL communities and cities, it is important to prepare new stakeholders to be more critical, aware, resilient, and healthy in the face of current digital challenges and difficulties.

ResumenLas palabras de personajes célebres y anónimos emergen con extraordinaria frecuencia en los medios de comunicación. La posmodernidad parece alentar la multiplicidad de voces, la dispersión de relatos individuales frente a los macrorrelatos integradores. La entrevista es la forma canónica de presentación de esos disímiles diálogos públicos. Se trata de un género que gana terreno tanto en los medios impresos como en los audiovisuales y, también, en el caleidoscópico espacio de Internet. La entrevista periodística puede ser concebida como una forma de contacto con el otro: el político, el marginal, el testigo, el experto, el artista, el individuo común, la víctima, el verdugo. Este artículo se ocupa, a través de las aportaciones de tres filósofos que pueden ser inscritos en la filosofía del diálogo –Ortega, Buber y Marcel–, del papel que juega el encuentro, la relación, el diálogo, en la comprensión de la entrevista periodística. La metodología empleada es la propia de una investigación de naturaleza argumentativa: el estudio y análisis de fuentes primarias y secundarias. AbstractWe frequently find voices of anonymous and notorious characters in mass media. The so called post-modernity encourage, or seems to encourage, the diversity of individualistic narratives versus the integrated macro narratives. In fact, we consider the interview as the supreme example of these testimonies, being more and more important not only in print or broadcasting media but in kaleidoscopic universe defined as the internet. The interview could be conceived per se, as a form of connecting with the “other”, being the politician, the victim, or the executioner… This paper evolves around the studies of three philosophers –Ortega, Buber and Marcel– whose reflections about intersubjectivity, encounter, and dialogue have played an outstanding role in defining the interview. For that purpose, we have used an argumentative research method: the study and analysis of main and secondary sources to do significant contributions.Palabras claveDiálogo; encuentro; entrevista periodística; intersubjetividad; comunicación.KeywordsDialogue; meeting; journalistic interview; intersubjetivity; communication.
