There are several disadvantages caused by the invention of television. We have now realized that we have worsened our family environment by bringing a television set. Most people have criticized this scientific achievement.

            Some weirs are in favor of TV culture. They say that there are many advantageous programmes. Practical ideas, figures and explorations are delivered to us. Even a teacher uses a video for teaching purposes. They say all the conflicts about the TV will be weakened through maturation of the children. There is no doubt that we are automatically trained to do our activities in televisions flow. We should try to assimilate the achievement positively.

How Television Violence Affects Children

Ø      Infants are attracted to watching TV. For them, it's just a play of light and sound, something visual and moving they enjoy watching. They often miss the program content. They can make sense only out of characters and faces familiar to them. It is said that if behavior on television is presented to them in simpler ways, they are likely to imitate it.

Ø      When children reach an age of two and half years, they begin to pay more attention to what is shown on TV and tend to imitate it. At that age children prefer to watch fast-moving characters and are likely to get exposed to television violence. During the pre-school age, children begin to derive meaning from what they see on television. Intense scenes and sounds attract them. Cartoon violence draws in the children of that age. It is seen that preschoolers behave aggressively after watching action and violence on TV.

Ø      During their initial years of schooling, children begin to understand what's shown on the television. They are able to follow the actions of characters and the consequences of the characters' actions. But they tend to think less on what they see, which results in reactions of a superficial nature. If children identify with a villain, they may start enacting his behavior. They think of emulating that violent hero. Due to overexposure to TV violence they may become tolerant to real world violence. Studies say that watching horror movies is sometimes an attempt by children to get over their own phobias.

Ø      When adolescent, they start watching television independently. At that age, they can reason everything they see but they are not mentally involved. They start idealizing someone and are tempted to act like him. They start believing that whatever is shown on TV is real. If they are exposed to suicides and crime they may try to imitate those kinds of behavior.

In conclusion, we must think that use of one scientific achievement depends on human attitude how they apply in their practical life. A TV is a curse to them who misuse it, and a blessing to them who use properly.
