THE INFLUENCE OF TELEVISION VIEWING THE SOCIAL BEHAVIORS OF ADOLESCENT
Keywords:
.Abstract
This research work studied the influence of television viewing on adolescent, behaviour among Social Behaviors. This paper examines the impact of television viewing in shaping adolescents social behaviours. The paper concluded by focusing on the urgent need to address television influence on adolescents sexual behaviour by providing them with critical interpretation and communication skills in multimedia environments. The social aspects of television are influences this medium has had on society since its inception. The belief that this impact has been dramatic has been largely unchallenged in media theory since its inception. However, there is much dispute as to what those effects are, how serious the ramifications are and if these effects are more or less evolutionary with human communication.
