Transcript for Body Image and the Media
CLIP #17

Intro

More and more, I have been able to draw from your comments and questions to build or think about themes for CLIP. This certainly is the case for today’s show so I want to thank Karen for sending the e-mail that resulted in this episode, Buying cialis.

Charles from Mostly News and Desperate Husbands : Station ID

Midtro

Body Image and the Media

In her e-mail Karen wrote, “I just finished listening to Clip 7 and it really hit home with me”. Clip 7 focused on the media and the construction of stereotypes. She then referred to a nine year old female relative who she described as obsessed with images such as Paris Hilton, and so forth, and their body sizes, they way they dress etc. She continued, “The television shows she watches and the websites she visits, all contain skinny blond girls with big breasts, and wearing skimpy clothes and make up, making out with cute boys.... Buying cialis, The scary thing is, these shows and sites are marketed and meant for girls her age. This disturbs me. How can I help her to foster self esteem and realize, that MOST girls/women do not look like this, lasix Pill, nor will they ever, without crossing into territory that her parents should really be dealing with. I don't want to overstep my bounds, but I am concerned about all of this media bombardment. She is already concerned about breast size etc., Her parents don't seem to want to deal with this and when I've mentioned it to them, they just laugh and roll their eyes and think she's a typical "girlie girl".

In response I wrote,
I know what you mean about some young girls' obsession with celebrities like Paris Hilton etc, Buying cialis. It's another form of hero worship. It’s also a demonstration of ‘fandom’ a sub-cultural social network of fans interested in the same celebrity for instance.

I continud, There are some books out there. I'm thinking here of books like the following which focus on strong female characters. Buying cialis, McCully, Emily Arnold. The Bobbin Girl. New York: Dial, 1996.

McCully, Emily Arnold. Mirette and Bellini Cross Niagara Falls. New York: Putnam, 2000, Buying cialis.

Rodriguez, Luis J. America Is her Name. Advair Online Without Prescription, Ilus. By Carlos Vasquez. Buying cialis, Willimantic, CT: Curbstone, 1996.

Fitzgerald, Dawn. Getting in the Game. Roaring Brook Press, 2005.

Sills, Leslie. From Rags to Riches: A History of Girls' Clothing in America, Buying cialis. Holiday House, 2005.

This last book is a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of girls' clothing in America , this overview shows how clothing is closely tied to cultural expectations and gender roles.

Probably the most effective way to offer your nine-year-old relative an alternate perspective is by doing what Sarah suggests in show 7 which is to capitalize on moments when she may say or do something that shows she is buying into the dominant stereotypes of girl/femaleness. And you are right the media bombardment is primarily aimed at teaching young girls to be particular kinds of consumers and to buy into particular ways of doing things and particular ways of being. Buying cialis, Giving young girls tools for resisting this dominant stuff will help them to become much more informed consumers and decision makers in life. Some questions/ statements that you could slip into your conversations with her include,

-do you know any girls who look like that at your school/ in your neighborhood/ in your family etc..
-what do you think these girls are trying to do when they dress like that, what difference does it make, to whom.
-who do you think benefits from selling those kinds of clothes /shoes/ etc.
-what advantage does dressing like Paris Hilton offer.
-what difference would this make for you, Buying cialis.

You could also then point to famous and popular girls/women who achieve hero status without necessarily taking on the 'Barbie Paris Hilton' image, Buy prozac Without A Prescription, such as female Olympians/athletes and people in the community.

Questions and experiences like these could bring some awareness that the 'Barbie look' is only one 'look' that there are many other ways of being and doing. It also may help get at the underlying issue that leads young girls to want to be like Paris or Hilary duff or some other celebrity.

Is it about being popular. Buying cialis, with whom. for what reason. to whom does it matter and why. what are some other ways to be popular without having to buy into the 'Barbie Paris' image. Is it about fear. Of what, Buying cialis. Rejection. From whom.

Hopefully these suggestions will give you a place to start...

Transcript for Acts of Courage and Acts of Kindness
CLIP #16

Intro

Welcome to CLIP 16 everyone. I'm going to play around with the order of things today so rather than doing acknowledgements and thank you's up front I'll wait till later and jump right into the show. Let me know what you think of this format.

Before I get going though I want to extend a big hello to member of the Toronto Reading Council and folks from OISE with whom I had a wonderful time talking about critical literacy this past weekend. Buy nolvadex Online, Today, I pick up on last week's show and the topic of taking action to change things that are problematic in our communities and beyond. I couldn't get the voices of the children from Selsted Primary out of my head and so spent a number of days imagining what other texts might work nicely with the Save Our School song. So, what I have done is to put together a multi-media text set of children's books and audio that focus on acts of courage and acts of kindness. I really do believe that in combination, Niaspan Without A Prescription, the texts I will share work very well together to enrich and inform discussions and work on the issue of taking action to change inequitable ways of being.

Station ID – Patrick and Catalina

Already, you know one piece I would include in today's multi-modal text set is the Save Our School song which as I mentioned is a terrific demonstration of the power of music to shape political and social experiencel. So imagine, then combining this song with a book like Si Se Puede, Yes We Can, a bilingual book about the justice for janitors strike in LA as told from the perspective of a young boy whose mother becomes a leader of the strike, Buy nolvadex Online. Another book that would be a powerful addition would be The Streets are Free by Kurusa and Monika Doppert which is a story based on the experience of children in a low income neighborhood in Venezuela who fought for the right to turn an empty lot into a playground. So it’s about organizing to defend your rights. Another book is Selavi, That's Life which is a true story of Selavi, a street child in Haiti who shares food and a place to sleep with other street children who eventually contributes to opening a home for children and starting Radyo Timoun, Children's Radio, a station run by and for children, which, until March of 2004, was still in operation.

Alongside these books you could include the publication IndyKids which I have talked about previously on the show. Buy nolvadex Online, Since discovering IndyKids I've learned of BabagaNewz, which is a full-color monthly classroom magazine that accurately and thoughtfully analyzes major news stories, religious holidays, cultural events and youth trends that play an important part in our children's lives. This particular magazine focuses each issue around a specific Jewish value. As in the past I will have links to each of these publications and resources in the show notes.

Kids Can Make A Difference® (KIDS), is another great addition to the text set. It is an educational program for middle- and high school students, which focuses on the root causes of hunger and poverty, the people most affected, solutions, Buy lipitor Without A Prescription, and how students can help. The major goal is to stimulate the students to take some definite follow-up actions as they begin to realize that one person can make a difference, Buy nolvadex Online.

Speaking of action, one of Sage Tyrtle’s recent shows on Quirky Nomads focuses on Deamonte Love and schools in Louisiana who are still struggling in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

In hopes of trying to contribute in some way I asked Sage, if she would let me air some audio form her show that very clearly explains what you and I can do to help kids in Louisiana to once again have access to books in their schools and homes since the devastation of the hurricanes.

Sage Tyrtle on Diamonte Love

I have a request for listeners who are either teachers or professors integrating this podcast into their course work or students who are tuning in as a course requirement to please either send me e-mail or voice mail telling me how you are using the show in your setting. I'd love to be able to create a list of ways the show has been used.

Jeff Wood- What Critical Literacy Means to Me Buy nolvadex Online, Before I go I have many people to thank this week. Sage Tyrtle of Quirky Nomads, Pat Thompson, Sarah VZ, charles of Mostly News and Desperate Husbands Podcast, Fran Hughes from Queensland, Australia, jeff wood, from Sudbury Ontario in Canada, Carol Felderman, Laura Mayoral, Annika, Stephanie from Tokyo, and Shelley Peterson… for commenting on the show, Diflucan Overnight, contacting me regarding the show, or pinning my frappr map. Thanks also to Karen for commenting on the Handy Manny episode on show #9. She says her son loves the show and it has in fact become his favorite. Now that the show has been running for several weeks, what do you think. Finally I want to thank Patrick and Catalina for today’s station ID.

Save Our School - Transcript CLIP 15

I was doing a search for songs having to do with children and youth on the Podsafe music network when I came across the song "Save Our School". Now given that so much of my focus on this show has been on issues of social justice and equity you can imagine how intrigued I was with the title of the song, Buy clarinex. So I downloaded it and to my surprise and delight, through my speakers came the voices of children singing. Wow – I decided then and there to put aside the show I was currently working on and instead focus this show, #15, on the children and their song.

But first I want to thank Jeff Wood, Buy ampicillin Online, Shannon Blaney, Wayne Serebrin, Yvonne Siu Runyan and Celia Oyler, for commenting on the show, contacting me regarding the show, or pinning my frappr map. And I also want to thank Allyn Kurin for the station id. Buy clarinex, Finally, congratulations to Jeff Wood and Wayne Serebrin for being the first two to respond to the Book giveaway. Jeff and Wayne, a copy of Getting Beyond I like the Book is on its way to you.

The setting is a small rural community in South-East Kent, where several generations of some local families have attended Selsted Primary School. The school has a student body of approximately 70 Reception or Kindergarten to Year 6 or Sixth Grade students.

Early in the summer of 2006, Selsted became one of 12 schools earmarked for closure because of falling pupil numbers in the county. In response The Save Selsted Action Group was formed, Buy clarinex. Buy flonase, As one form of action, a song was written to protest the proposed closure. With lyrics like "Don't close our school, it's been here for many years, my mum and dad both came here too, its closure will mean tears." the children, their parents, teachers and with the help of Steve Howard who produced the song, were able to use music to take stand and send their message out into the world. Not only did Steve act as producer, he also created an indiestore account with 7 Digital to showcase the song where it was and still is available for download for a mere 99p.

Hearing of the Selsted plight, Jersey Todd from the Jersey Toddshow in the US, quickly contacted other podcasters, including Adam Curry, the US Podfather and soon Save Our School was being downloaded across the nation and around the world through 7 Digital and the Podsafe Music Network in the US, avandia Online Without Prescription. Buy clarinex, A recent blog entry from the school reads "To all the podcasters around the world that have taken our small rural school around the world - thanks." They of course also thanked over and over again all of the folks around the globe who helped in some way.

When you hear this song, you too will understand what made people want to reach out and help the children of Selsted School. Here now is Save Our School.

Save Our School Song

Emma, Scott, Louise, Leveson and Imogen and the rest of the children and adults involved in the Save Our School Song Project Bravo. Awesome … wonderful beyond words really. You have touched my heart and I know you did that of all the listeners of your song, Buy clarinex.

You have certainly made a lasting impression on many podcasters, people around the world, and I'm certain the same is happening to my listeners from the moment they heard your voices and your message.

What a wonderful demonstration of what happens when you make use of new technologies to reach out , connect, network across time and space. Lamictal Prescription, What a wonderful demonstration of the power of music to shape political and social experience

The very very good news is that Selsted School has been saved and will no longer be shut down. Hooray for everyone who helped with this effort. Buy clarinex, Midtro

As part of my crafting this show I discovered the Center for Political Song located at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland. It is a fascinating sight and terrific resource for examples of political song. Links to relevant newspaper articles and external websites are also included.

As always I will have a link to this site in the show notes. I'll also have a link to the Selsted School Website where you can access a video of Save Our School. Until next time…
