In this article, it talks about a study that was used on Canadian children. It talks about the affects of television on children ranging from all ages. It brings up problems like obesity and violence. It talks about how children in their early years should spend playing outside, learning about music, and developing other skills. Instead most of them are watching televisions, but conducted in another study, you tend to watch more t.v. because it makes you sleepy and lazy so you never want to leave the couch. In this, small children are learning bad habits from an early age. And like in the 50s, advertising has been hitting children big time. McDonald's spend $500 Million dollars a year on advertising as do other junk food corporations contributing to childhood obesity. And cartoons and television movies have lots of violence which turns it in to a funny moment teaching kids that it's okay to be violent.
