iGo+Nuclear

I screened an episode of iCarly, iGo Nuclear. I noted every negative representation, stereotype, and example of bad role modeling for children seen in this particular iCarly episode. NOTES: iCarly Episode iGo Nuclear Sam shows some very poor educational role modeling when she chooses not to do her project because she doesn’t want to. This is terrible representing for children watching the show. Sam then when put on the spot to present her project; she makes it up as she goes. This could teach children to procrastinate and teach that making up a project as you go is ok. Carly is doing chemistry with dangerous materials and substances by herself, alone, without parental supervision. This is very dangerous. CONCLUSION: In this particular episode, it gives some really bad educational representations. Sam shows that procrastination or making up a project as you go can pay off or is ok. Children may think after this episode, “it’s ok if I don’t want to do this project if I don’t want to. It’s ok if I just make up the project as I present, I can procrastinate.” Also Carly has a scene where she is doing chemistry with hazardous materials alone, unsupervised. This gives a bad representation because no matter the age, you should always not do chemistry alone no matter the age. Children may watch this and think it’s ok if I use these dangerous materials alone, Carly did it on iCarly, but this simply is dangerous for children.
