Shari
is currently working on a new book for young people trying to square the
violence we see in the media with the real life conflicts around us. She’d
love to hear your views on the appeal of horror movies and the impact of
video games.
What do you make of the gap between shoot 'em up play and the real world
consequences of gang violence or war? Do you think first person shooter
games are harmless techno toys, sophisticated skill builders or terrifying
assassin-makers? Should there be content or age restrictions on games, movies
or TV shows? Why or why not?
Email Shari your views at graydon@queensu.ca

“Kids spend more time immersed in TV, video games and the ‘net than they do in school. Media literacy helps give them the tools they need to evaluate and challenge what they are seeing.”
Governor
General Michaëlle Jean recently presented Shari with a Persons Case medal
for her social activism on behalf of women.
