Sexuality Mental Health Media Threatens Daughter

The portrayal of young women as sex objects in the media can damage the mental and physical health of girls, said experts in the United States.

Reports issued American Psychological Association says the magazine, television, video games and music videos have a bad impact for the mental growth of children a woman.

Sexualities can cause lack of confidence and encourages girls attacked depression and eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia.

The pictures also have a bad impact for the development of sexual health of girls, the researchers said.

Task force established by the American Psychological Association as "the public increasingly concerned" with sexualities daughters.

Research conducted on the content and impact of television, music videos, song lyrics, magazines, movies, video games and the Internet.

Ads of products intended for children of women also highlighted.

Sexualities happens when someone is judged solely on the basis of sexual attraction in appearance, not by the attitude of the person or character, and when someone described only as sexual objects.

The researchers gave the example of a sports shoe ad featuring pop star Christina Aguilera dressed in school uniform with shirt buttons open and licking a lollipop.

According to research conducted by the agency, such as this depiction that sells women as sex objects and a negative impact for girls in many ways.

"The impact of child sexualities women in the media today are very clear," said Dr Eileen Zurbriggen, the association's leader and professor of psychology at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

"We have a lot of evidence to conclude that sexualities negative impact on many things, including the functions of the mind, physical and mental health, sexual health and development."

American Psychological Association called on the parents, school officials and health experts to realize the impact this sexualities in girls and young women.

And they suggested that schools teach students to interpret the ability of mass media and explain to students the negative impact of the portrayal of women as sex objects in sex education programs.

The government also had a responsibility to limit sexualities images of women in the media and advertising, they said.

Magazines

Dr Zurbriggen added: "As a society, we must change this picture by picture sexualities which gives a positive message for girls - which describes the ability and the uniqueness of women."

"The goal is to spread this message to all adolescents - boys and girls - that will encourage the development of good sexual health."

Professor Andrew Hill, a medical psychologist at the University of Leeds, said it was hard to find the lack of that report.

"If you look at teenage magazines, it contains about sex."

"Our society is a society inundated with visual images - our view of other people governed by their physical appearance."

He added the image portrayal of women as sex objects by media and advertising difficult to handle.

"One of the most important thing is the social responsibility - the world of advertising and other mass media should be aware that products and images they produce can have a bad impact," he said.

Autism Therapy With Pets

Maintaining a pet at home as a hobby but also has other benefits, one of them is as a therapy for autistic children. This therapy is performed by the autistic child was 11 years old named Milo who did with her dog named Chad.

The relationship between man and animals do have a direct effect, although this effect can not be explained through scientific research. But the relationship between Milo and Chad over the general relationship occurs.

"Within a week I saw a huge change in him, after a month she became more calm and able to concentrate and communicate within a longer time," said Mrs. Vaccaro who is the mother of Milo, as quoted from the New York Times, Friday (9/ 10/2009).

Dr Melissa A Nishawala a clinical director of autism-spectrum services in the Child Study Center at New York University, added themselves to see real change in self Milo became more calm and able to communicate even seen the dog just sat there in the room. As a result of profound changes in self-Milo, now Vaccaro and Dr. Nishawala began trying to stop the medication that is used by Milo.

Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which is part of the National Institutes of Health also began an effort to learn whether pets can have a real effect on the welfare of children.

It required more scientific research that can explain the benefits of these therapies, particularly its impact on child development. Because so far most research only focuses on negative interactions than just pets, as pets can spread disease.

At Children's Hospital of Orange County in Southern California, for example, dozens of volunteers regularly brought her dog to visit children of patients who received treatment for serious illness. Usually these children often experience sadness, anxiety or depression. The most important thing is that pets should be free from all kinds of diseases and have received vaccinations correctly.

"The dogs are brought by these volunteers can enlighten the children," said Emily Grankowski, which oversees the pet therapy program at the hospital.

Expected later this pet therapy could lead to new treatments in curing children who often experience depression, sadness or a child with autism. However, do not close the possibility of this therapy can also be done for adults.
