DESCRIPTION

Television is a time-passer, a supplier of background noise, and now, it seems that in many homes it has become a babysitter. According to some studies, 99% of families have at least one television in their home and children spend around three hours daily glued to the screen. One question is being asked by concerned parents- what are they watching? Here, there are a few problems in children’s television that are the main focus- violence, respecting elders, early romance, gender roles, and the beauty obsession. People are the most impressionable as children, and some things that they are shown should not be geared towards children and preteens. Some parents definitely do not know what their children are watching, but it is their right and responsibility to know. A petition will be available to be signed that hopefully will get into bigger hands, and maybe someday, there will be children’s television. I am studying children’s television and the questionable messages portrayed in them.

Television is a time-passer, a supplier of background noise, and now, it seems that in many homes it has become a babysitter. According to some studies, 99% of families have at least one television in their home and children spend around three hours daily glued to the screen. One question is being asked by concerned parents- what are they watching?

Here, there are a few problems in children’s television that are the main focus- violence, respecting elders, early romance, gender roles, and the beauty obsession. People are the most impressionable as children, and some things that they are shown should not be geared towards children and preteens. Some parents definitely do not know what their children are watching, but it is their right and responsibility to know. A petition will be available to be signed that hopefully will get into bigger hands, and maybe someday, there will be children’s television.

portrayed in them.
