And you thought this was cool?

... better go check out these blogs too then! This is a compiled list of blogs I personally enjoyed reading over the past couple of weeks.

The Effect of Rock and Metal Music on Teenagers.
- Apart from the fab colour, this blog actually relates to Emosic's topic. If you found the discussion here regarding music and suicides interesting, you'll also like Elin's post concerning almost the same (just with metal).

Children and Video Games
- Now this is a blog I found particularly interesting because it deals with a very difficult topic in today's world. Can violent video games influence our children? Yes, no, maybe? Have a read and found out.

Media and Children
- This is basically the same as above. A very critical blog regarding media and how it affects children. I personally liked the article om effects of 3-year old children watching TV more than 8+ hours a day.

Depiction of Racial Minorities by Media
- While this is rather far from Emosic's own topic, I still feel this blog deserves an honourable mention. We're far from having equality in today's media and we can only fight it by being critical of the media images we consume and how well we respond to such imagery. As with any kind of discrimination, this kind of hatred deserves zero tolerance what so ever.

Social Networking
- Here's a blog I loved reading. Not only is it about (in my opinion) an extremely interesting topic, but it is also wellwritten and thoughtful. In these "we're all on facebook"-days, I think it is a MUST READ if you're into media blogs.
