TV is very commonly used item among all the children, nowadays. They use to see those channels, which are full of action, and comedy, etc. Also they are interested in some adventurous programs showing some extraordinary work or unbelievable things happening. This is because that they have a tendency to do the things they watched anywhere, i.e., TV or by their elders. That is why it is generally said that to teach a child do it yourself first, whatever you want to teach. For example, if we wish that our children starts taking meals as we do then take meal in front of the child and he will definitely ask for it from you and so on. So is the case with the scenes showed on the television.
If we look back around 15-20 years, then there was a serial on television named Spiderman, which was very popular among children. In that show, the Spiderman used to go in air like a spider and do the unbelievable things, which a normal man could not perform. After seeing this serial, every child wanted to be like the Spiderman. In some cases children tried to jump from high buildings after wearing the dress of the Spiderman, which was available from the market and lost heir lives, and some lost their limbs and are physically handicapped for the rest of their life.
Same is the case with some criminal stories or actions, which impart a bad effect on the children. In a particular case, the news channels highlighted a criminal who is a murderer, rapist, and many more charges were on him. He was punished for his crime for hanging till death. But before this television channels interviewed him lot many times and showed on their respective channels, as if he was a hero and he was wrongly punished for the charges alleged. This affected the minds of the public against the law, which, of course, is not fair!
One more aspect is for the fashion. Children or youngsters usually like to wear those clothes, which their favorite stars wore in the advertisements, songs or films. So it is necessary to make it sure that the fashion should be with in the limits of the culture and no vulgarity should be there. Which otherwise ultimately affects our children and the whole life.
On the other side of this picture, it is also helps a lot to a common man. For example, if a big personality dies, the television channels use to show the programs on his life. In which they used to show his family background, facts of his life, secrets of the life of the deceased personality and many more things related to the life style of the person. Which in turn helps to know more and more about the personality. Recently the death of Hollywood star is an example of this. After his death the channels have nothing to do but showing his career, his good work in different pictures, his political career and above all his life's secrets which a common man could have never known otherwise.
It is not so that channels use to show these things after the death of a big personality, but in routine also they have different programs showing the life of the known personalities and also famous persons. This increases the knowledge level of children and elders, which help them in their life span.
