The scientist David Buckingham of the Institute of Educational University of London, England researched TV shows. He used the term moral panic to describe how the media influences undesirable social developments. Buckingham stated, we all imitate things we see on TV both good and bad. He said that these are causes of pathological copy - cat acts. Keep in mind, however that there is still no conclusive evidence that television violence causes people to be more violent than they would otherwise be.
Children take more different information from TV than in school.
American TV shows contain many programs, such as Jerry Springer show, which may harm our children. Also TV includes a lot of violent cartoons, which make our children more inhuman. Our children become angrier, and they begin to feel that they live in a terrible world. The role of mass media in our life is very important. It influences developing self concept.
