Do you think that television/internet or any other of these mediums dumb down kids and lower their standards and ethics ? do you think that television has a negative or positive influence on society ?

The effects media have on today's youth depends on the viewers themselves.
There are just as many if not more educational shows out there than there are dumb reality shows, violent shows, and overtly sexual shows. Whether it is positive or negative depends entire only on the watcher's ability to separate right from wrong. A person can watch a violent show and not be affected because he/she knows that violence is wrong. Meanwhile, an impressionable individual can watch the same show and start to emulate the actions and emotions of the characters. |
