1. EFFECTS OF TELEVISION IN OUR SOCIETY
Today’s forgotten dialogue

2. OUR YOUTH

3. AGES 2-5
Perception
• As toddlers Our undeveloped context
of the world is constantly striving for
clarification
• On average American Toddlers watch
over 35 hours of television a week
• It is likely that the future generations to
come will have a very difficult time
deciphering reality due to the gross of
artificial reality of which they perceived
fundamentally

4. AGES 2-5
Social development
• In the early stages of development
Children are constantly looking for
attention and affection
• This Stimulus is the driving force in
how they build their views on
relationships
• It is believable that at such a
undeveloped stage, that a child may
mistake a imaginary character, if seen
daily, For a parental figure that may
not spend 35 hours weekly on them

5. AGES 2-5
Imitation
• Psychologically speaking the main priority of a toddler is to replicate the motions and emotions as
those in the world he/she lives in.
• The choice made will likely determine the inclination to different archatypes in our society.
• Many children come to start imitating fictional characters they’ve never met due to the massive
amount of time spent observing them.

6. AGES 6-11
perception
• Today’s grade schoolers are now
watchikng an average of 28 hours of
television weekly while attending
school.
• At this stage we can presume children
are off elmo and on to spongbob
• At this stage children focus on social
behaviors and how to interact with
others.
• The majority children shows are
comedies so it’s less likely a child will
take life seriously at this stage

7. AGES 6-11
Social development
• As preteens children are often confused and
hearded around in groups picking up traits
from the sheeps around them
• Before our mass media machine they were
influenced by elders and the general
concencus of their community.
• Now every preteen plugged in to television
is part of a nationwide learning program
influenced by not those of educators but of
bussiness selling products
• Those toddlers who grew role models are
now taught that products equal social status
and that social status is inharintly important

8. AGES 6-11
Imitation
• Television Plays A gigantic role In this
Formative time as the premiere mass
media machine
• Companies like Disney and Nikolodian
Found the Brilliant strategy that if you
groom children to consume your products
then you have them for life, Much like
cigarette companies.
• Previous values for role models were
integrity, compassion, and success, today’s
role modals focus on vanity, money, and
obsession in idolization
• Today Children are pushed in directions
that ensure they will be consumers as long
as possible

9. TEENAGERS
Perception
• The children who mistook their role
models Now Are In full blown reality
complexes
• The honest mistake of seeing “Big
Bird” as a caring figure have
manifested with the obsession with
older Characters on Shows like
“Degrassi” or “Skins”
“Mar. 14, 2008 — While most teenagers (60
percent) spend on average 20 hours per week in
front of television and computer screens, a third
spend closer to 40 hours per week, and about 7
percent are exposed to more than 50 hours of
'screen-time' per week, according to a study
presented at the American Heart Association's 48th
Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease
Epidemiology and Prevention.”

10. TEENAGERS
Social Development
• The Current generation of Teens Is
More disconected then any other in
modern history from their later
generations
• The Coruption of moral values and
loss of education have been escalated
through television and media

11. TEENAGERS
Imitation
• Not Every Teenage girl watch’s MTV’s
“teenage mom” or “Jersey Shore” and
plans to go out to be snookie.
• However There is a growing number of
individuals who have no understanding on
how much they truly derive their values
from the images displayed to them via
television
• The sort of information portrayed on
today’s telivision is one that our
forefathers would have never anticipated
and it leaves our current youth as test
subjects to an entirely new media
mombarded upbringing.

12. HEALTH DISORDERS

13. A.D.H.D
• “Those who watched more than two hours, and particularly those who watched more than
three hours, of television per day during childhood had above-average symptoms of
attention problems in adolescence,” Erik Landhuis of the University of Otago reported in a
study published in the August 2007 issue ofPediatrics.
• Adhd is fast growing disease that has grown 66 percent since last year alone in diagnosis.
• The researchers observed a nearly 40% increase in attention problems amongst those
who watched television more often than those who watched it less often.

14. Obesity
• America’s number one disease is
obesity.
• As of 2009 over 61 percent of the
nation is either overweight or obese.
• It’s Hard not to find a corralation in
television growth in comparison to
obesety statistics.
• Every year more and more families
would rather sit in for pay-per-view
then go on a family hiking trip, and
our nation’s children are paying the
price for our ignorance.
• 33 percent ov today’s youth has
become obese.
The chart shows the
number of new national
television services each
year

15. SYNOPSIS
• Television will continue to grow and educate the nation.
• Whether or not we monitor and start open dialogues about when we as a nation are
growing into is our decision, as well as our responsibility.
• Understanding and care is absolutely critical in todays age of constant growth and change
