“I want kids to think that reading can be just as much fun and more so than TV or video games or whatever else they do. I think any other kind of message or morals that I might teach is secondary to first just enjoying a book.” ThinkingWantFirstsKindBookMightKidsReadingGamesFunEnjoyMoralTeachTvsMessagesVideo Author:Louis Sachar
“Girls get the message from very early on that what's most important is how they look, that their value, their worth depends on that. And boys get the message that this is what's important about girls. We get it from advertising. We get it from films. We get it from television shows, video games, everywhere we look. So no matter what else a woman does, no matter what else her achievements, their value still depends on how they look.” LooksDoeStillsImportantMatterShowsFilmValuesGirlGamesBoysTelevisionDependsAchievementMessagesNo Matter WhatVideoAdvertisingWhat's ImportantTelevision Shows Author:Jean Kilbourne
“I always love to put hidden messages in my music videos, because I know there are people like me who, when they watch something, are really active, involved participants.

“Many animal rescue organizations hit with a hard-core, heartbreaking message. Their videos and stories can become difficult for average people to watch. By taking a more positive, heartwarming approach to animal rescue, I've been able to engage people and keep them engaged for years. Instead of selling the agony and misery - and sadly, there is no shortage of that - I start with the happy endings. I work backwards so the first message they get is joy and success due to their involvement. Opening the mind with humor and joy gets the rescue message in that much deeper.” PeopleYearsMindFirstsHardStoriesAbleJoyDifficultAnimalWatchesApproachMessagesOrganizationMiseryAverageDeeperDuesCoreVideoOpeningSellingEngagedRescueAgonyBackwardsInvolvementHappy EndingsHeartbreakingShortageHeartwarmingHard CoreAnimal RescueRescue Me Author:Elayne Boosler
