A friend of mine made a good point about television and its so-called negative influence.
We always hear stories about kids who hurt themselves or commmit bad acts because they “saw someone one TV do it.” Usually, this is followed by the parents blaming everyone but themselves for for the lack of forethought from their child.
However, we never hear of children doing good deeds because “they saw someone do it on TV.”
Is it because there are no good acts to be seen on TV or, perhaps, the parents are quicker to blame themselves for their child’s new-found virtue?
