                                            Hazards of Television

Television is one of the latest wonders of science. By the radio we can only hear the voice, buy through the television, we are face to face with the screen. In short the television has become one of the most important means of education, recreation, propaganda, national integration and imitation. Its advantages are varied in recent times. We can have mass education, form public opinion and eradicate many social evils from the society through television as it leaves a more permanent impression on our minds that we see or hear by sitting before a screen. Besides, it has a great health hazards for kids. We know that children are great imitators by nature. They imitate the facts and the character that they view on the screen. For example, if you are remembered about the serial Shaktiman that put many a child to enforce death. They always try to copy the ideal dialogues and feats duly exhibited on the screen and put them in to action.

But they fail to understand the truth so they lose their lives. They do not understand the truth and philosophy of the facts. They think that they will also survive like Shaktiman and he will be there to save them. Such types of stunts should be banned out rightly by the broadcasting division before a serial is brought before the public, the authority should look in to its pros and cons. In case it had any adverse impression on the minds, it needs to be banned. At present we need good and responsible citizens with high morals values. We should present such lively serials that have moral, educational and cultural significance on us. We can show such serials that are likely to uproot social evils, corruptions, regionalism, terrorism and communalism etc. Let us hope that the government would provide such serials that would be beneficial to all in every aspect.
