BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

It is believed that exposure to TV is making children over smart & insolent. In their
early age of childhood they need to take more care & moral department is one of the
most important forms. Today children spend more time viewing the TV rather than
spending time with their parents & going out. In an era of globalization, media &
popular culture have shattered all the national boundaries & a new culture has reached
to the remote areas of India. Unquestionably the local culture has been intermingling
with the western culture. And this transformation is influencing the moral values of
our children.
Watching TV varies with the age group of children in India. As children grow up they
watch more TV. Most of the children prefer watching programmes with lighting scene
& music. Children often imitate the lifestyle & fashion of their favourite hero &
heroine. Children with middle class background are found to be light viewers when
compared with the children of higher & lower economic background. most of the
children demand from their parents the products that they watch in TV.
Nowadays TV influences the lives of young children & it is only going to get worst
with each passing year. Children are great fan of the TV. They try to act & copy what
they watch on TV. Many children also got injured while imitating their super heroes.
In terms of regional differences, the prevalence of distance vision impairment in low
and middle income region is estimated to be four times higher than in high income
regions.
