When you talk about the idea of culture nowadays, how do you think of culture? Does strolling in a museum arise, or do you think about wandering the halls of Comic-Con? Is your idea of culture watching Hamlet agonize on stage or looking at the latest hit on YouTube? This definition of culture is at the heart of the Northwestern study from June 6, 2011, entitled “Children, Media and Race: Media Use Among White, Black, Hispanic and Asian American Children” . This study discusses how much media consumption there is among youth from eight to eighteen years old in each broad racial group. Among the findings are that non-white youth watch more TV and videos, play video games, listen to more music, and use the computer more often than white youth.
