Satellite TV and our young generation
Today TV is the most popular media of entertainment to all generations of people. In the towns and cities, there is hardly any house where there is not a TV set. Even in villages, we see that most persons have a TV set. But the young generation is badly addicted to it, which sets us thinking. Though, all programmes are not harmful, we have to think what it is giving and taking away from our young generation. Young people most often watch the exciting films on violence and crime. They also see obscene films. All these things leave a damaging effect in their soft minds. They will try to commit crimes and violence in a sophisticated way and it needs no telling that much of our young generation is going astray day-by-day. They are becoming addicted to narcotics. They don't like any kind of educative programmes. So, the guardians should be more cautious in the matter of TV. They should allow their boys and girls to see only those programmes from which they can derive much benefit and make the right use of to build up their career and future.
