Just been reading a tread about xena warrior princess a New Zealand TV produced series which aired in the US and UK a few years ago .
It reminded me of the importance of positive role models
it showed a young woman clad in leather going around generally doing good and battling against repression of men who dominated the ordinary life's of people .
It portrayed her as a powerful no nonsense princess warrior who could do anything without blood or guts , my kids enjoyed it and I believe it did them good to see such a powerful young woman as a role model
Today the TV Influencer's have change landscape and don't think we will see the likes of these programs produced again is this because of a change in role's or is it agenda or gender
Should TV promote powerful role model male female trans gay and would you let DD watch a Xena warrior trans princess and would DH be watching it .
Is it confusing or is that the idea to confuse a younger generation before they take a direction or make a choice or not
we promoted two forks in road with religion and social constraints years ago and now we have a roundabout
of choice with some kids who keep going around in circles confuse and not knowing which direction to take .
TV plays a huge part in influencing children planting seeds early in life do we as parents have the right to or should we just let them get on with it ?
