The Media and the Image of War. Study Guide. Episode #724. America's Defense Monitor, Educational TV for the Classroom.
Rizzo, Claudia
This program examines the series of myths generated by the media about war, peace, and the use of force. This episode explores the emergence of the popular interpretation of violence by "good" citizens who use violence to produce positive results during wartime. The study guide offers questions to use before viewing the video, questions to follow the video, classroom activities to focus student thinking on the problem, topics for further research, and a list of 10 resources.
