MTV--at the forefront once again!

MTVs: 'Sexting In America: When Privates Go Public'
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1631123/20100203/asher_roth.jhtml

Did anyone else catch the MTV special on sexting? It was actually very well done. I caught a few minutes the other night and was pleasantly surprised. I looked for some good clips but I think it's too soon. I'll look again in a few days, but it's worth a tivo.

If anyone's writing a paper on anything about the effect of media/internet on teen lives its a really good resource and, I assume, would lead you to even better ones... enjoy!

And another emotional animal video...

...the elephant/dog couple I mentioned in class.

Christian the Lion

I don't know if any of you have seen this, but during class when we were talking about the ability of animals to feel emotions like happiness, I thought about this video. I figured I would share it.

delay of gratification

This is a great illustration of impulse control (or lack thereof). It might still be interesting even though it's shown in younger kids..
