Newton Minnow’s in his speech also refers to the idea television has the ability to influence people. He focuses mainly on children and that the content on TV does not benefit them. He emphasizes the fact that children, in 1961, spend as much time watching TV as they do in the school room. So Minnows asks the questions “is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs deepening their understanding of children in other lands” To relate Minnows to the current study of private broadcasting I will ask, If the goal of private broadcasting is suppose to ensure a more adequate performance of Canadian content to target all areas of the demographic population, do you think Canadian broadcasters have done an effective job?
Parents have the power to not make their children eat junk food and to decrease the chances of their child ending up with a long term illness. Children though have a much bigger power in getting what they want and that is called pester power. They constantly bother and annoy their parents and make a big scene in front of the public to simply buy a box of cereal with Dora on it because they saw it on television.

In addition, he provides more research explaining the controversial connection between the “boob tube” and lack of achievement in school. Implying from the article, “Silent that idiot box!” by Jeff Jacoby, in 2007, Researchers at Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons came up with the conclusion that 14-year-olds who on a daily basis watched one or more hours of television “were at elevated risk for poor homework completion, negative attitudes toward school, poor grades, and long-term academic failure.” Along with the ones who watched three or more hours a day where at more risk of “subsequent attention and learning difficulties,’’ and were unlikely to pursue a college career.

time anymore Some kids find comfort in TV of talking to there parents and think that’s what to do to solve my problem Yes, but The biggest problem is not the fact that kids watch more TV now; the fact that parents do not regulate what there kids watch. Also it should be up to the kids to realize that that’s not real and that’s not what I need to do to solve my problem. Violence on TV will always be there, we will never get rid of it or ban it that’s our right to watch it.

We had never even watched anything on Nickelodeon, and we really wanted to see someone get doused in this mysterious green goop we kept hearing about!
