Negative Impact Television Programs Have Upon Children's Behavior

Abstract: 5 pages in length. Children are curious, impressionable creatures who learn by watching and imitating. The extent to which children are products of their environment is both grand and far-reaching; that certain exposure creates negative behavior patterns just as much as others support positive ones speaks to the detrimental impact some television programs have upon children's behavior. Whether the lure of consumerism or cultivation of violent, antisocial tendencies, children are highly vulnerable targets of what they see on the television screen, a psychological reality known as stimulus-response that subconsciously encourages them to react to what they see. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
