Post structuralism exploration into how New Media as represented by Television affects the Social behavior of children

For the past three decades researchers have described a child as unreceptive, naïve and uncritical receiver of television ideas and information (Gerber, T., & Gross, L. 2000).Parents and analyst have considered television watching as to be ‘’waste of time’’.Children have brought out their opinion by arguing that that television is a social educator, a technological media for mass consumer ...





... is certainly true that television does not account for all the negative behaviors found on children. There would be no better recommendation than for parents and social programs guiding as these fragile minds of the future.
