This review is from: Selling Out America's Children: How America Puts Profits before Values--and What Parents Can Do (Paperback)

This book so proficiently articulates all my beliefs that I myself could never instill upon my children had I not taken the time to read. All in all, the book explains why and how society is sacrificing our own children's welfare and future for a pofit! A must read for any parent who really cares for America's future...Our children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guidelines for action., November 17, 1998

This review is from: Selling Out America's Children: How America Puts Profits before Values--and What Parents Can Do (Paperback)

Many of my friends and I are so frustrated by the mindset of putting profits before values. When a child will stab another child to get something which the other child owns, it is obvious that this child needs better values! At last, here is a book that doesn't just talk about our concerns, it helps us take action. It is a great book and I recommend it very much.

this book is great. it explores the negative aspects of television and popular culture. it is very enlightening and easy to read. it seemed well-researched and well-thought-out. it was not heavy-handed. i hope it reaches a wide audience. it is absolutely worth your time and effort.
