Understand Henry Giroux's view on the intense colonization of childhood through large corporations; readers must first understand how humans are socialized. Every social experience an individual has has a special importance in the socialization process. Mass media are forms of communication aimed at a large audience. Such media have the potential to be influential forces in shaping people's opinions and lifestyles. These same companies also help shape individuals' beliefs and ethics. America is described as a child-friendly society, but in reality Americans are against this notion. Henry Giroux explores how American culture shifts the problems of capitalism onto children, blurring the separation between child and adult. In his argument Giroux highlights three myths that contribute to corporate culture's war on children. The first is the “end of history” (Giroux P.2). According to this myth, citizens are thought to have no individual freedoms with respect to the rules (P.2). The second myth is “childhood innocence”, according to this myth children are in the purist form without much knowledge of the world and need extreme protection from adults of said knowledge (P.2). This essentially leaves children helpless and unable to make their own discoveries. The final myth is “disinterested scholarship,” according to this myth; commercial culture is becoming the main focus of education instead of academic dynamics, (p. 3). In narrative context, Giroux argues that the politics of innocence is racialized, sexualized, and gendered through white, middle-class, and black perspectives. privileged children.

Disregard this, even if they receive the same education as someone from a middle class background; these students still have to return home and face unfortunate circumstances. The realm of education tends to cast a negative light on younger generations by labeling them as a threat to society and ultimately excluding them without fair opportunities. Every child is different; some may require more attention from teachers than others. Schools tend to forget this unique feature of human life once standardized tests and grades enter the equation. Politicians now blame the economy's collapse on poor educational techniques. American educational institutions have thus transformed into the concept of standardized learning methods
