s a child growing up in New York State, Alex Rivera lived near Pete Seeger, the American folk singer and activist who inspired him to become the artist with a social message that he is today. Rivera was always interested in the arts—he tried his hand at drawing, painting and music—but one day discovered that the best medium for him to combine beauty, story, humor, politics and culture would be through film. “I found it inspiring to find ways to tell a story or make a work of art that could be part of an agenda…to be able to advance an agenda that is very humanistic and loving toward people,” he said. A Social Message Today, Rivera has not only found a way to do exactly that, he has also gained accolades worldwide for his filmmaking and has toured universities sharing his craft, ideas and social agenda with students and faculty. He has produced films such as “Papapapá,” “Why Cyrbaceros?,” “Borders,” “The Sixth Section,” “Sleep Dealer,” among others, that have won

International Film Festival awards (including Sundance Film Festival); have been broadcast nationally and screened at prestigious museums and places such as MOMA, Guggenheim Museum and Lincoln Center; and have been shown at dozens of higher education venues. While entertaining and beautifully crafted, all of Rivera’s works carry a social message that often portrays Latinos and other groups of people deeply impacted by migration. “One of the core missions of my work is to look at how we live in a world of globalization,” he said. “We live in an age of dissolving borders all around us, yet at the same time, we’ve built walls, and we are
living in an era of great violence toward people crossing borders. Why in an age of globalization is there a need to build more walls and attack people crossing borders?—it’s a contradiction.” A Series of Successes Rivera’s first film of importance that carried such a message about globalization was “Papapapá,” a story about his father, a Peruvian immigrant to the U.S., and the politics of immigration. He produced this film as part of his thesis project while a student at Hampshire College, Massachusetts. “I had a friend who was studying agriculture and focusing on the

potato. That’s when I realized that the potato was first cultivated in Perú, and it’s called papa, as father is papá,” said Rivera about his first film’s inspiration. “I had this dream about the potato going from Perú to the U.S. and assimilating (becoming the potato chip and French fries), just like my father came here and assimilated (and became a couch potato watching Latino TV shows).” “Papapapá” became what Rivera described as a “light-hearted meditation on immigration and assimilation.” But when his college film won second prize in a New York Film Expo and then proceeded to screen at MOMA and around the world, he was quite amazed. “I thought no one 8 • June 2016
would want to see a film about my father and a potato,” he said. But “Papapapá,” which inspired Rivera to keep going, was just the beginning. “Around that time, I had another dream. The Internet was just being born, and I thought about how my dad had come here to work in factories. But what if people like my father could work from home, and the workforce in the U.S. were made up of robot bodies controlled by workers in other countries,” he said. Rivera described his dream as a fantasy of tele-immigrants where the laborer Bracero programs would become cyber programs. His dream eventually took shape in 1997 in the
form of a five-minute film called, “Why Cybraceros?” It was shown and paired with a Charlie Chapman film in the Guggenheim Museum in New York and in 2008 became the feature film, “Sleep Dealer,” which received awards at the Sundance Film Festival and was recognized at festivals and museums internationally. Prior to releasing his feature film, “Sleep Dealer,” Rivera also produced “The Sixth Section,” a USA/Mexico documentary, and “Borders,” a series of three short documentaries produced in collaboration with PBS that looks closely at the realities of immigration, both of people and products.
tallization of the world in an age of globalization where so many forces cross borders. We are the ones who do the most vital work, working in factories, restaurants and farms…we allow life to happen…yet we are also despised. The only way to stop this is to tell our stories.” A Film Industry Crisis Beyond politics and social awareness, Rivera brings inspiration and guidance to students who were once like him and may be interested in a career in filmmaking. “There’s a real crisis in this country in terms of those that participate in the film industry. There is a crisis of access and support, and Latinos are facing the biggest challenges,” he said. “There is definitely a hunger and talent out there among Latinos interested in filmmaking, but the numbers are bad. At film festivals
with new independent films, you may see one or two Latino films, and in Hollywood we only represent two percent. It’s not acceptable.” Inspiring New Horizons When Rivera travels the world with his message, he often achieves two objectives: he inspires more Latinos, and people like him, to tell their stories, and he opens minds and hearts to look at the world differently than before. “My work that resonates intellectually with students helps them connect the dots in ways they haven’t before. They never thought about connecting globalization and immigration, yet I see them putting the Rubik’s Cube together and seeing the world in a different way,” Rivera said. “It’s also a privilege when my work gets past someone’s brain and reaches their heart.” •

Touring the World While Rivera seems to constantly dream up his next films, much of his time is spent on the road visiting universities, colleges and organizations throughout the country and world. At schools like the University of California at Berkeley and Pixer University, he offers scholars and students a collection of films and discourses that get people talking and reflecting on issues that especially impact Latinos and immigrants. “I want to make films that are beautiful, funny and have wild imaginations. But I also want to bring Latino history into the center of the audience’s imagination and to help expand what we think of as America,” he said. “Latinos, in a way, embody globalization in our cells from how we are made up racially, and how we come from different places. We are people who are a crys-

cal illustrator—and turned it down. Her focus was on Art History and Philosophy, the basis of understanding different cultures and religions, she said. This built her curiosity when studying with ceramists Otto and Vivika Heino and helped to develop her unique style. “I had a visceral connection to stone, to clay.” Shortly after graduating, she married USC architect Bernard Judge. They traveled throughout Europe on $6.50 a day for thirteen months, said De Larios. The travels added to the richness of what she had learned growing up—an appreciation for cultural beauty. Working with clay, steel, wood, sculpture or plastic, De Larios features opposing forces in her art including mythological creatures and goddesses at once whimsical and fierce, Japanese and Mexican influences, Catholic and pagan, and the mystical and powerful feminine form. After teaching ceramics at USC and UCLA, she took a leap of faith. “I thought if I started my studio, they would come.” Irving Place Studio was born, became home to a handful of other women artists— and local business owners bought their art. “We had multicultural support. Los Angeles is a convergence of so many cultures that can clash at

nternationally acclaimed ceramic and clay artist Dora De Larios wasn’t going to marry the first man that came along and proposed, even though he was a keeper—and any other sixteen year old would have jumped at the chance. It was the 1950s, after all, and what young women often did—even if they aspired to go to college, which she did. The handsome Italian couldn’t believe she wouldn’t marry him—until she threw the engagement ring out the car window. “I was born into a family that was passionate about everything,” De Larios said. “The women in my family are strong in spirit.” Saying goodbye to the proposal meant she could focus on what she already was passionate about—her art. But she would need to buck another tradition to pursue it. “I had a Mexican father, and if I wanted to go to college, I had to stay close to home. That’s the way it was.” Luckily, the University of Southern California (USC) was nearby, but at $14 a unit, they couldn’t afford it, she said. She received a scholarship but had to maintain a 3.8 GPA. “That was like asking me to jump over the moon. When I got a C+ in biology, it was like getting the Academy Award.” With her artistic capabilities, she was recruited to be a biology medi-

times, but it’s vibrant. Our city is fabulous that way.” Her work has made its mark on the city and beyond. In 1977, her 12 place settings of dinnerware were selected for a White House luncheon and subsequent exhibition. She led the design of a massive mural at Walt Disney World. There is a blue porcelain seascape for the Montage Resort & Spa in Laguna Beach, a monolith in cast cement and textured bronze in Pasadena entitled “Home to Quetzalcoatl,” and three “Koi Goddesses” in L.A.’s Westin Bonaventure Hotel fountain. She has served as representative to the World Craft Congresses in Mexico, Japan and Austria. The list goes on and spans decades.

Irving Place Studio Today Growing up with an artist becomes a lifestyle. “Artists don’t ever stop,” said De Larios’ daughter, Sabrina Judge who is also an artist, songwriter and mother of two. “It’s how their creativity works. My mother inspired me.” Judge had a secret dream: for people to see and buy her mother’s work. “She’s been working for so long, and in her world travels, she has drawn from classical design elements in an honest way that people can relate to, that resonates. It’s all museum quality work.” Collaborating with her husband, Aaron Glascock, they launched a 12 • June 2016

The Female Influences “The thing I’m most proud of is I was born Mexican because the culture is most influential, and all the women in my family are central to that,” De Larios said. She is still close to her 104-yearold aunt, her example of strength and loving kindness. Her mother who worked at Max Factor instilled in her work ethic and pride. When she was 17, De Larios worked for her one summer on the lipstick line. “I couldn’t keep up with it. I was Lucille Ball in that famous scene with the chocolates. I started throwing lipsticks over my shoulder. She was humiliated, and I was humbled.” Her big-hearted grandmother, Mama Grande, had 12 children, shared dichos and always seemed to find food to feed others, De Larios said. With the light coming in through the blind shafts, her kitchen seemed like a sacred place. “I loved it all. It was so graphic.”

new Irving Place Studio where De Larios’ work could be showcased all the time. “I wanted to call it Irving Place Studio because that was a magical time in our lives,” Judge explained. “That was the name of her studio with only women artists there— with this energy that was incomparable. It’s reminiscent of times past and a tribute to my mother’s work.” Now the three collaborate on a line of dinnerware, specializing in artisanal ceramics like bowls and plates hand-thrown on a potter’s wheel. De Larios formulates the glazes, and Judge oversees the glazing and firing.

tive at the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles. The exhibit, entitled “Sueños/Yume,” featured goddess and warrior sculptures and Mexican and Japanese inspired pieces. In 2011, her work was in “Art Along the Hyphen: The Mexican-American Generation” at the Autry National Center, and “Common Ground” at the American Museum of Ceramic Art, both part of the J. Paul Getty “Pacific Standard Time” exhibitions on L.A. art from 1945-1980. Executive Director of the USC Latino Alumni Association, Domenika Lynch, rallied to have the trailblazing Trojan recognized for her works at the 2015 Alumni Spotlight Ceremony. Even though De Larios was not pictured in the USC
yearbook, Judge said, the Spotlight brought her home to where she started. Judge introduced her mother that night as “fierce, a warrior who nurtures relationships like a garden.” Diagnosed with cancer in 2014, De Larios reflects the fierce warrior of her works. “We’re all on borrowed time. No matter how bleak it looks, life is about spirituality. I’ve always been blessed. I love life even more. I’m going to persevere and be busy working.” For now, Irving Place Studio is a sacred place where mother and daughter can create art—and perhaps try new traditions, leave a legacy. “It would be a waste to not try,” Judge said. “Keep trying. That’s her spirit. That’s my mom coming through me.” •

LA POET LAUREATE LUIS J. RODRIGUEZ Teaches as Scholar-in-Residence at CSUN Written by California State University, Northridge
A
~
spiring writers and poets at California State University, Northridge had the opportunity to learn from the ultimate mentor this spring. None other than the Poet Laureate of Los Angeles, Luis J. Rodriguez, a lifelong Angeleno and self-proclaimed “Valley Guy,” is serving as scholar-in-residence this semester and teaching a literature course in the Department of Chicana/o Studies. The class, “The Heartbeat at the Periphery: How Marginalized and Oppressed Literature is Moving the Culture,” focuses on works by people of color and labeled as “other” in the United States, including Chicana/o, Native American, African-American and LGBTQ writers, Rodriguez said. The graduate-level class includes undergraduates and graduate students. “I link literature to real life, to the world we’re in —poetry and its various rhythms, and its impact on people’s lives,” Rodriguez said. “Most of the time, young people are not exposed to great literature any more. Often, the canon is narrowed to white writers. My goal is to connect this great literature to the real world.”

As his CSUN students explore authors such as Luis Alberto Urrea and Audre Lorde and exercise their own writing muscles in the class, Rodriguez said he’s seen their writing improve. “I want them to be activists about this new kind of literature,” he said. “I’m encouraging them and challenging them, so they’re more able to use language in a powerful way—language that connects to their own lives.” Chicana/o Studies major Mayra Zaragoza said she jumped at the chance to take a class with Rodriguez who has served as her mentor at Tia Chucha’s Centro Cultural and Bookstore in Sylmar. The center is
popular with CSUN students and includes the headquarters for Rodriguez’s Tia Chucha Press. “[The class] is a great opportunity for young writers because he is very honest when it comes to helping anyone who wants to go into the field,” said Zaragoza, 25, a junior. “He is Chicano, and when you think poet, you don’t necessarily think Chicano. “Him being here is such an honor and a privilege for us because his story is very unique,” she said. “He went from being in a gang to turning his life around through poetry and writing.” Brought up in Watts and East Los Angeles, Rodriguez is a com-
munity activist and vocal advocate for the power of words to change lives. Best known for his memoir “Always Running: La Vida Loca, Gang Days in L.A.,” Rodriguez is also an award-winning poet. His collections include “My Nature is Hunger,” “The Concrete River,” “Trochemoche” and “Poems Across the Pavement.” He published a sequel to “Always Running” in 2011 called “It Calls You Back: An Odyssey Through Love, Addiction, Revolutions, and Healing.” The following year, the book became a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Autobiography. Rodriguez will release a new book of poetry, “Borrowed Bones,” this spring.

“I link literature to real life, to the world we’re in — poetry and its various rhythms, and its impact on people’s lives,” Luis J. Rodriguez
“We are fortunate to have him on campus this semester as a guest lecturer,” said Chicana/o Studies lecturer Maria Elena Fernandez, herself a published author. “He is the Poet Laureate of Los Angeles — it’s pretty exciting.” This spring, Rodriguez also is leading a monthly men’s healing circle on campus, a group designed to give male students and other members of the CSUN community a safe place to discuss tough issues such as race, family and social justice. “A lot of guys don’t have places to go to talk,” Rodriguez said. “We’re talking about campus life, issues of race and growth, how to handle crisis. It’s a place where young people can share and open up.” Former Provost Harry Hellenbrand approached Rodriguez about teaching at CSUN after a May 2015 event on campus, when the Department of Chicana/o Studies honored
him for his appointment by Mayor Eric Garcetti as the city’s Poet Laureate. The Office of the Provost and the dean’s office in the College of Humanities collaborated to bring the poet as scholar-in-residence for the spring 2016 semester, he said. “I love it, and I would love to return,” Rodriguez said. His students said they are benefitting from exposure to literature from different voices and different perspectives. “The literature we’re reading is trying to make us think outside the box, with new settings,” Zaragoza said. “[Rodriguez] is trying to help us make connections to stories in a whole new way. He’s trying to help us see our own lives as stories.” As part of his term as CSUN scholar-in-residence, Rodriguez presented a “Big Read” of his poetry on Wednesday, April 20. •

MARIACHI USA GOES TO CUBA Iconic Music Festival Unites Three Cultures This Fall

S
TUDIO CITY, Calif. and LA HABANA, Cuba -- MARIACHI USA, the premier mariachi music festival in the U.S., is headed to Cuba for a historic performance this fall. Mariachi musicians, singers and dancers will converge in La Habana on October 4-11, 2016 as part of a seven-day, six-night tour offered by Cuba Tours and Travel, announced Rodri J. Rodriguez, MARIACHI USA founder and longtime concert producer. The show’s company of 25 artists will perform on Sunday, October 9 at Teatro América, a historic theater built in the 1940s that has hosted international top talent over the years. “My driving passion has always been to return to Cuba to entertain my people, to do what I do best,” Rodriguez said. “I’m taking a version of what we’ve
been presenting at the Hollywood Bowl for 27 years. Our sole purpose is to entertain the people of Cuba in a unique cultural exchange, uniting the heritage of three countries. We are creating a labor of love, celebrating music and the spirit of humanity.” In addition to the historic performance, MARIACHI USA’s musicians, singers and dancers will hold workshops with local performers and students. Creating a space for mariachi music on a world stage has been Rodriguez’s passion since 1990. She founded MARIACHI USA believing “a world-class music deserves a world-class stage.” She was convinced more people would love mariachi when they experienced it in a proper forum. Securing that space for mariachi took hard work, grit and an unshakable belief in the mu-
sic. MARIACHI USA has since made history: when it sold out its first year, when it became the second longest running show to play at the Hollywood Bowl and for being the Bowl’s only annual Latino-themed event. The fivehour festival features mariachi bands from the U.S. and Mexico, traditional folklorico dances and spectacular fireworks. “I consider myself a guardian of this magnificent musical legacy,” Rodriguez emphasized. That legacy extends to Cuba, her native country. Earlier generations of Cubans enjoyed the music of Mexican artists such as Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Jorge Negrete and Pedro Infante who visited in the 1940s and 50s. Recently mariachi has experienced resurgence in Cuba and is a popular choice for celebrations and even quinceañeras. • www.HispanicOutlook.com • 23
Amherst College Gets $1 Million Cooke Prize for Admitting, Supporting and Graduating Outstanding Low-income Students Story by Jack Kent Cooke Foundation
L
ANSDOWNE, Va. – Amherst College in Massachusetts is the 2016 recipient of a $1 million prize awarded by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation to a selective college or university with an excellent record of admitting, supporting and graduating outstanding low-income students, Cooke Foundation Executive Director Harold O. Levy said recently. The Cooke Prize for Equity in Educational Excellence is the largest award in the nation given to an elite college for eliminating arbitrary barriers to admission and promoting the success of high-achieving students from low-income families. Amherst College, a liberal arts college with 1,790 undergraduates, maintains a need-blind admission policy for all students and meets the full demonstrated need of all admitted students without requiring loans. As a result, nearly 25 percent of Amherst students receive federal Pell grants, 58 percent of students receive need-based financial aid and the college provides no merit aid. Amherst began participating in the Cooke 24 • June 2016
Foundation’s Community College Transfer Initiative in 2006 and increased enrollment of community college transfer students from zero or one annually to 12-15 each year. The initiative also helped Amherst build an infrastructure to better meet the needs of transfer students, military veterans and first-generation and low-income college students. Amherst provides low-income students with funding for educational travel and study abroad; stipends for otherwise unpaid internships and career development mentoring; and is shaping programs to meet the social, psychological and health needs of all students. “Amherst has shown unwavering resolve to become a national leader in expanding access to college for low-income students by dramatically increasing its financial aid budget, implementing aggressive national recruitment strategies and creating an environment where these students will thrive,” Levy said. “In doing all these things, Amherst has proven that the goal of admitting and graduating increased numbers
of low-income students with excellent academic qualifications can be achieved.” “By awarding Amherst the Cooke Prize we want to call attention to the college’s success in lowering barriers to equal educational opportunity and show other colleges and universities strategies they can pursue and steps they can take to follow Amherst’s example,” Levy said. “We are honored to have been recognized by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation for our efforts to make education accessible to talented students from low-income backgrounds,” said Amherst President Biddy Martin. “Our goal is to identify and nourish talent wherever it exists. It exists everywhere. While building on the remarkable progress Amherst made under President Tony Marx, we are now focused on closing the invisible opportunity gaps that students face once they arrive on campus. This prize will help us in that work.” “Amherst’s commitment to support high-achieving students with financial need has a long history, dat-

ing to its very inception,” Levy said. “The last two presidents, Tony Marx and Biddy Martin, have made this effort a cornerstone of their presidencies. It is an impressive legacy.” In contrast to Amherst, a recent study by the Cooke Foundation found that only three percent of students at top colleges across the U.S. come from the poorest 25 percent of families. But 24 times as many – 72 percent – come from the wealthiest quarter of families. Martin said Amherst will use at least half of the $1 million Cooke Prize to fund summer programs for its low-income students, including research with faculty, field study, arts training and internships. She said the college will also use funds from the Cooke Prize to recruit, train and pay students receiving financial aid to serve as financial aid peer advisers for transfer and first-generation
students, supplementing work of its Financial Aid Office. Because about half the students remaining on the Amherst campus during breaks are from low-income families, Amherst will create more programs during breaks to reduce their sense of isolation, Martin said. Amherst was selected as the Cooke Prize recipient based on six criteria dealing with outstanding low-income students: outreach to attract such students, admissions, enrollment, financial aid, acceptance of community college transfer students, and degree completion. “Our finalists have shown great commitment and effectiveness in opening their doors to students with big minds and small wallets,” Levy said. “Many such students have overcome enormous obstacles and proven by their hard work, determination and intelligence that they can
succeed at the most academically challenging colleges in our nation – but first they have to be admitted.” The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation is dedicated to advancing the education of exceptionally promising students who have financial need. It offers the largest scholarships in the U.S., comprehensive counseling and other support services to students from eighth grade to graduate school. Since 2000, it has awarded about $147 million in scholarships to more than 2,000 students and $90 million in grants to organizations that serve outstanding low-income students. www.jkcf.org Other Finalists for the award were Davidson College, Pomona College, Rice University and Stanford University. Here are highlights of actions the other finalists have taken on behalf of low-income students: www.HispanicOutlook.com • 25

TARGETING HIGHER EDUCATION

BUT … ? Written by Gustavo A. Mellander
I
s it necessary to read and write to succeed in college? Students also need technological proficiency skills. They are essential. Yet too many Hispanics aren’t sufficiently computer savvy or Internet knowledgeable to function effectively when they arrive at college. Hispanics and Computers A decade ago I wrote an article for Hispanic Outlook on this topic. Later it appeared in “Education Digest” renamed “High Tech: Help or Hindrance for Hispanics in College.” Studies had indicated that Hispanics although attending computer classes in high school and college were falling behind non-Hispanic students. Homework assignments that required computers were not completed. Hispanic students did poorly in classes which required accurate computer skills. The reason? Most Hispanic students did not own computers nor have them at home. Further, for a 32 • June 2016

number of reasons, they could not access computers at local libraries, so they could not hone their computer skills. The issue was addressed at elite institutions by mandating all Freshmen-purchased computers. Later, other institutions simply issued them to all students and increased fees, billed financial aid, etc. Smartphones galore The present reality has now shifted to handheld devices, which provide students easy access to computer information. Recently, my wife and I went out for dinner. I looked around the crowded dining room. Only one couple was engaged in conversation. They were young, in their early twenties. Theirs was an animated exchange, punctuated with smiles and an occasional laugh. I told my wife, “I bet they aren’t married.” She gave me a wane smile and hoped, I am sure, I would not
comment on every other person in the restaurant. I ignored her lack of enthusiasm and incipient disapproval. True to form, I glanced around the room. Another table had what I surmised to be a seven-year-old boy, a 10-year-old sister and a 13-year-old brother with their parents. Each child had an iPad, and all were busily engaged, communicating with friends or playing games, I suppose. Father was on his smartphone frowning occasionally: maybe checking out his investments or perhaps touching base with a business colleague. Mother was on her cellphone as well, maybe texting friends or perhaps she was on Facebook, sending pictures or commenting on incoming mail. The father turned his cellphone off and clearly told the children to do the same — to no avail. The wife frowned at him and continued her private electronic conversation. The children never disconnected. They
TARGETING HIGHER EDUCATION swallowed gulps of food barely moving their eyes off their iPads. I smugly thought, “Well, Hispanics don’t act that way. They are family-oriented.” Nielsen on Latinos and smartphones That warm bubble began to disintegrate as I remembered Nielsen had reported that “Latinos are adopting smartphones faster than other U.S. ethnic and racial groups.” So why should their behavior, given the fullness of time, be different from anyone else? I rummaged through my computer and was pleasantly surprised to find the three-year-old report. Nielsen reported that 72 percent of Latinos over the age of 18 own smartphones. That was nearly 10 percentage points higher than the national average. Nearly half of them, 49 percent, planned to upgrade their smartphones within six months. One can assume the family I saw at a Florida restaurant are a harbinger of the future for all of us. Growing up too soon Another reality: a few weeks later, I visited a group of seventh and eighth graders in a predominantly Hispanic school. The vast majority, 67 percent, have been in this country less than a year and know virtually no English at all. Valiant teachers teach U.S. history in Spanish and introduce as much English as they can. But given societal and family realities, it is hard to build that bridge. Very few students actually become bilingual, many become
alienated, few finish high school, some (boys and girls) join the military desperate to escape. On the other hand, it is important to remember that thousands of Hispanics have overcome similar circumstances and successfully entered the country’s mainstream. We must celebrate our victories. The connection What did all the children I visited — I call them children because even though they are growing up far too fast, they are still children — have in common? They ALL had cellphones — given to them by welfare officers. Some were more sophisticated and up-to-date than the ones their teachers had purchased. Some teachers struggle to keep the phones shut off in class, some collect them at the beginning of every class. Others having been physically threatened and verbally abused have given up. I was allowed to speak to the students alone. I emphasized I was neither a teacher nor a policeman. They loosened up but fiercely defended “their right” to use their phones however and whenever they wanted. The girls told me they used their cellphones to communicate with friends and keep up with celebrity news. Later, I met the boys separately. They challenged me and again defended “their right” to use their cellphones whenever. At first, they assured me they were just keeping in touch with their friends. “Come on, I know you are looking at girls,” I ventured. A few
guffawed, and others laughed out loud. I knew I was right. Bottom Line Something is wrong. We can’t and shouldn’t put the genie back in the bottle. Instant communication and untold information is at our fingertips. There are many benefits, but there are dark ramifications as well. Communication with “the world” is easy and rampant but shrinking among many families. Open access has some age-based limitations, but who’s supervising that? Youngsters and even college-trained young professionals are placing personal material on the Internet, which could hurt them personally and professionally down the road. Pictures of a scantily dressed student on Spring break, inebriated, could be and have been viewed to their detriment by potential employers or those who wish to harm them. Shouldn’t society craft effective strategies to protect youngsters against themselves as they navigate our Wired Age? •
