Nowadays, the development of electronic media can be said to be very fast. It was difficult to find a house without any electronic media such as television. Television is the most used item in the media. not only homes, no cars are now equipped with television media. The media does play a major role in human life or may be in control of human life. Rapid technological developments result in more easily accessible media. Ease is certainly not simply perceived adults but also by children. The phenomenon will surely bring various effects for children.
The main advantage of the television as entertainment, education, and relaxation. Everyone can learn foreign cultures, to understand the viewpoint of others, gain inspiration, and promote creativity. Moreover, another benefit of the support of security, safety, and social support offered by modern communications.
An academic research suggests that children tend to learn a lot from television. The children were put on a variety of media to develop an important platform in social activities. Availability of media to influence belief as well as behavior can be used to promote the benefits of such child or the child's activity on the Internet with a base in the learning support services. Watching television can also make a child's academic performance improved.
However, in this modern age of television has influenced the emergence of negative behavior (aggressive and consumptive) among the children. Almost all the shows on television dish served for consumption adult audience. While the show for children arguably very minimal. In addition, the majority of television airtime (especially private TV) presenting the shows that are information and entertainment (infotainment). It can even be said to be the face of our television is dominated by soap operas and celebrity information. Ironically, there is a storyline that has not moved from the issue of infidelity, romance, and violence. The situation is further compounded by the airtime that "force" the children to watching.
When examined in more depth the impact of TV shows turned out not only affect the pattern of behavior but also affect the child's speech patterns. The phrase "Yoou’re evil, Dad!" or “ You’re evil, Mom!" often spoken of a child when his parents did not grant his request. Another example, a child is used to say the words that contain elements of violence or negative words like "stupid", "I'll kill you", "I hate you", etc.
May still remembered in our memories as impressions smackdown makes a scene over Indonesia. Violence that children exhibited a negative impact after watching a show on television smackdown. With innocent and naive as they practice slamming action scenes he had witnessed on screen.
Based on the study, this time 6-7 hours television broadcasting of television show to children. Conceivably, how television messages "poison" the minds of children who are psychologically still at the stage of looking for identity with his inquisitive nature is so great. Seeing the condition that there can be mentioned that one third day was spent with the kids "adventure" with a television. Even if no one mentioned television shows has become a "parent" for children.
Although it is difficult to forbid children to watch TV, at least awareness of the negative impact of TV shows though responded wisely. Parents must accompany their children while watching TV. Comment or explain to the children when there is a scene or inappropriate information emulated by children. If people need to do the boycott of the shows that less educated. At least people should actively participate in supervising the content of TV broadcasts. Report to the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission when watching TV programs that do not conform to the norms prevailing in society.
In the meantime, we hope the manager is pleased to present TV-quality impressions. Although we realize that the TV had to survive. But this is not necessarily by airing the shows that are less qualified. It's time to show the children is of particular concern. Therefore, the children are the victims of the shows TV. Children do not have the ability to digest the messages it receives TV programs. That is, the children will "swallow" all the information obtained. All who watched regarded as true (legitimate). This is where moral concerns and social responsibility in the management presenting TV spectacle healthy and intelligent stake. Therefore, creativity is the key to development is not synonymous with the TV presentation of the shows that have a negative impact on children's behavior.
