Family five A house wife with a family of three, So Me stylus said that she is not aware of the tenement of problems that are caused to children by watching TV. She assemble the statement is weird as she could not see any logic in how watching TV tail end harm her child. The forty years old mother said that her only son usually watches cartoon programs that are shown on the TV.When asked what type of cartoon her son usually watches, she said she has no idea about it. Her son watches almost every cartoon that is shown on the TV, regardless in what language that is delivered by the cartoon shows. She does not limit or schedule the time for her son to watch the TV, her son is ere to watch anytime he favors and is allowed to watch until the show is over. â€Å"l dont see thither is any reasonableness in filet him watching cartoon shows that he likes,” she said. As a mother, she does not really feel TV is harmful to her son. Im neutral for the statement. ” she said. She also added that as long as the show that her son is watching does not have a bun in the oven anything that is impertinent for his age, in that location is no reason that watching TV is harmful for her son. However, if in that location comes a point where her son watches shows that contain inappropriate substances, she will take capillary tubing actions. She prefers giving her son lectures regarding about what TV shows that are suitable for him to watch, because to her, beating is overrated. wile B With reference from the interviews carried out on parents with children on their television watching habits, we can see that the problem is that parents in secured on their children watching the television. In addition to that, the statements seems very appealing for the parents as they fear for their kids mind-set development growth and the statement can be of a good salvage to prevent their children from watching television. Secondly, looking from the childrens point of view, the problem children faces is they do not know what kinds of programs are suitable for their age.Sometimes, out of honor they would find themselves watching a program which is inappropriate. As an example, matured shows suc h as The Matrix contain uncivilized content like gunfire, fighting or intimate content. Other than that, some Japanese life history sometimes contains mild sexual themes. Children cannot make the watching inappropriate programs for their age. Because children can pick up Just anything from the programs they watched easily. If its a good influence, no harm done. What if its the other way round?Children sometimes may persuade out these acts on someone intellection its normal or its the new companionable motion and get themselves into trouble. Besides tune up into inappropriate programs, children also tend to spend too much time on watching TV. Most parents feel that the television is the root of their children being spoil and its where the pick up most of the social trend from. Parents says that sometimes kids these days are victorious watching television as a hobby where if without it they would be spending their time reading or doing physical activities to powdered ginger t hemselves healthy.Hence, like what the statement has stated, it may ebb their IQ which is leaving worry curiously to parents. The parties which find themselves having this problem are both parents and children. Parents are too afraid of their children being too influence by watching television and the children are the victims of the statement. Firstly, not every parent has the time to keep an eye on what they children are watching. Looking at our life styles these days, parents are very much work- oriented which leads to them spending lesser time at home with heir children.Though, parents do try to make do with a schedule for their children to follow as to how long the duration on watching the television and what program they are allowed to watch, in the end the children are left alone or with their sitters to monitor them. How often do you find those children following the schedule? Secondly, parents who knew about the statement would most probably start criminalize their childr en from watching TV anymore. This isnt really the right way to solve this problem because children will most probably do not understand why their parents o so and the urge to watch TV for all the time will get stronger.So there is no point in inhibition children from watching TV Just because the statement said so. Looking from the childrens point of view, they are too engrossed with the programs that they tend to have it as a hobby. This is also a problem to their social life as soon interaction among childlike children will lesser. No doubt that should they be watching good program such as the once you can find on the Discovery or National geographical which helps develop full of life thinking about the society and the world. What happens f they watch cartoon program that uses improper language or unethical way.Children have to learn more about the kind of program that they are watching. After all, excessive amount of time being spent on watching TV will indeed harm them. thit her is no doubt that parents requirement the best for their children. By knowing about the statement now, they would be more passive voice about the idea of their children watching TV. Having said that, to not lose our Job as working for a television send, we call for to change the mind set of these parents. Parents should also understand that there are always two sides of a coin. Watching television may be harmful, but by not watching is also harmful, as the television reflects the real world.For the children to not see people like themselves in race, ethnicity, or physical ability. For example may reduce their self -worth. A lack of role models should spark dealion about how TV portrays different types of people. Being the people prat the television station, we too have to see the children as students to be educated, as upcoming citizens to be engaged in the community, or scarcely as children, whose work is play and not as mind set. There are ways and measures that can be done to help parents believe that watching television can bring benefits to their children.The first hammer that can be used to solve this problem is that insert more educational programs during after- school hours, because the children will be most probably watching TV during that period. By doing this parents would feel more secured that their children would not be influence of the inappropriate behavior or language used. By switch the shows of cartoons that use inappropriate language with educational programs, the hillier will surely learn something by watching them. Hence, their parents will not ban them from watching TV anymore.Besides educational programs, TV station can also name tutorial programs for students up to sulphurary school to have them guided through their major exams such as PUPS, MR. and SUM. For example having programs such as Educational computer programing can develop young childrens colonization and attainment skills. Other than that, news, current events and historical programming can help make young people more aware of other cultures and people. Documentaries can help develop critical thinking about society and the world. Parents should be aware of this as it benefits their children.During the nights, where before children go to bed there can be programs that are recommended for family viewing with this it gives family members of all ages an fortune to spend time together. Other than that, these TV programs may explore controversial or sensitive issues, which can make it easier for parents and kids to discuss them as they are watching it together. The second tool that can be used to solve this problem is that, our television station could come up with a transcription which is friendlier for parents monitor they schedule of the programs their children are watching.Parents could make do a schedule to limit childrens time on watching TV. This arrangement would especially help parents who are away from their children. The transcr iption will form an age restrictions to prevent children from tuning in into inappropriate programs on the TV. This helps so that parents do not find their children watching the wrong programs. The system will also enable parents to view a summary on the program hey would wish for their children to watch. They can view it in the television itself, via online or in their periodical TV guide.The information we will add are like the language used, should there be guidance, the behavior of the casts. If there should be guidance, the system will not allow the program to be viewed. To view it there should be a code that has to be type in. With this parents would feel more secured as they can monitor their childrens viewing habits and they will also be able to see the viewing program history to know if their children have watched other programs.The last tool would be television stations can use TV as a catalyst to get kids reading following up on TV programs by getting books on the same subjects or reading authors whose work was adapted for the programs. With this parents would feel more secured as it helps their children to develop reading habits. Children will be more impatient to read as they have an idea of what they are reading. By doing this, children can learn important values and life lessons as well. As an example, programs such as Hannah Montana, Thro, Ben 10 and so on has the book version.Being the television station what we can do is that we can sell these books or for the viewers who involve it so it would be easier for parents to purchase it and it is bring out powerful touchstones. TV also enables young people to share cultural experiences with others. This helps the children in many ways. Conclusion As portrayed, not all parents are unaware of these circumstances. In fact, some have already took up measures to these problems. Obviously, everyone did not literally ban their children from watching televisions. As a matter of fact, they simply limit the frequency.Therefore, the fact that children had been watching too much television had been overruled. On the other hand, in relation with the contents that their children had been watching, parents has shown presentation of supervision. In fact, they are well aware of what their sons and daughters should and should not watch. Some shows such as Narrator or Ben 10 have some slight mild forcefulness content; these contents are not harmful enough to be categorized as inappropriate for children. Therefore, it is safe to say that children are not watching violent shows, which has blood and gory contents.\r\n'
