Can a child loose their identity by too much exposure to pop culture?
Children don't need to be addictive to things that other kids are going. Some children might not even like to play video game or even watch movies that are not for their them. If the child are 13 years old they wound go sneak in into a rated R (18+). That's when you know the child doesn't want to go watch thing that are not for them.
Some children don't believe in all these media things like movies, movies, television, video games and etc things. Other whiles some kids only uses the media once in a while that they don't get addicted to them so they don't have an addiction onto them. When they read a book like Harry Potter they know its something that isn't true and they wont goaround trying to play witches and wizard or even trying to do some spells like in the books.
The parents of the children might not let their children play videos, go onto the computer for over an hour or two because they know the child would get addicted to it and wont stop to go outside and do something that they like. Parents would like to make their children go read a book that might help them into the future and getting good grades to make them go somewhere in life then just sitting there in front a TV scream playing the new cod game.
That's why i believe that pop culture doesn't need to kill children identity because it matters on what kind of children they are, what they believe in and how there parents raised them as. Everything doesn't need to change for the children mostly teenagers, it self it just matters on how it was raised when it was a child.
In your opinion does religion have the same kind of influence?
In my opinion i don't believe that religion has the same kind of influence because religion and pop culture are two different main things that need totally different things to loss its own identity. I cannot believe that someone can lose their identity on religion because its the what kind of person you are and what you believe in. Its what your parents raised you as, its how your grandparents raised your parents and all what they know they tell you to keep the type of religion that you and your family believe in. If someone would ever lose there identity on there religion that has been in there family for centuries the parents would somehow convince the person to come back onto there religion because it have been in the family for years and you cannot just leave it. Its a lot harder to lose the identify of your own religion than losing the identify of too much pop culture.
