The effect of television on children's behavior is a topic that has continued to generate interest among psychologists. In surveys, educators suggest that television has replaced other forms of socialization such as school and family, as children spend more time watching television than they spend in school. Psychological and government experiments along with congressional investigations have been implemented with the purpose of establishing the effects of television on the behavior of children. The main interest of the methods is to analyze whether social violence results from violence depicted in television programs. While other behaviors aimed at helping others, less often studied, are compared to helping people in difficulty. Since its inception, the effect of television has attracted the attention of many researchers who follow the question of its inconvenient consequences in its programming and the results that influence the influence on aggression. The sole purpose of the subject is to focus on its effect in teaching pro-social behaviors and attitudes. Investigations suggest that commercial programming serves as a positive socializer, and the modeling cues provided by television increase the generosity of young watchers (Bryan, 1970). Among the studies, one managed to deduce that broadcast television materials persuaded children's prosocial behavior. In the experiment, children aged 3 to 5 years were subjected to various forms of programming, the three programs selected contained scenes of aggression, diets and neutral programs, the results confirmed previous works since some types of prosocial behavior increased following the exposure. The intent of the experiment was to establish whether specific ...... middle of paper ...... direct children towards taboos, it should be a lesson to those who broadcast the programs to put the emphasis about programs that develop character and promote goodness. Regardless of nationality, the nature of human beings is good and what dulls the spirit is the exposure people receive, at an early age pro-social behavior seems to be the only form of voluntary and innocent learning. Despite its simplistic nature, it sticks and shapes the character of the audience. An effective form of regulation should be implemented to protect children from inadvertent and incomprehensible messages.
