　　全文翻译

　　大众媒体是我们文化的重要组成部分，但是它也可以成为年轻一代的助手、建议者和教师。大众媒介作为许多机构和社会交往的替代品影响着年轻人的生活。通过这种方式，它在人们生活中起到了各种各样的作用。

　　在电视屏幕前耗费的时间常常是以休闲为代价的，即有更少的时间用于游戏、娱乐和休息。由于被电视屏幕上的东西吸引，孩子们不仅模仿他们看到的，而且还直接将自己视为电视中的各种不同的人物。美国人对媒体中暴力的普及及其对孩子和青少年的潜在危害的担忧至少已经有四十年了。在这段时期里，新的媒体，如：电视游戏、有线电视、音乐录像带以及网络出现了。由于这些媒体继续受到欢迎，它们连同电视一起引起了公众的担忧和研究的注意。

　　媒体使年轻一代受到社会另一大关注的方面是身体形象问题。外部力量能对身体形象产生正面和负面的影响。举例来说，社会文化标准和大众媒介的营销冲击着我们关于美的观念。在大众媒介中，标准美女的形象充斥着报刊杂志，从电视中播放出来，在电影中娱乐着我们。甚至大众媒介还在广告中利用公认的瘦和健康的文化价值来赢得商业利润。青少年被给予的是狭隘界定的吸引力的标准，它是一种包含着对外形的不切实际的期望的完美标准。
