They understand that advertising to all types of people is not going to hurt them in any way. Once children are exposed to a brand enough and this brand is thought to be cool or hip they will find a way to buy this product weather it be through begging their parents or getting it illegally such as alcohol and cigarettes.

How absurd is that? Therefore, in order to live up to our high expectations of reality TV, I think we’d all agree that it needs to be more realistic.

Imagine a kid solving a puzzle -which will help to develop his brain- instead of watching TV; also this kind of activities will keep him safe from violence. Ratings: I have seen a TV channel specifying violence ratings, I cannot recall the channel but every time I see it has violence on it I change the channel.
