Irresponsible tracks

When I criticised electrocution step by step episode, some said even bv is showing such tracks.
BV showed kidnapping track, ratan tying all of them to burn them down,ganga trying to deliver the baby risking her liife, sanchi cutting wrists.

There is a degree of difference.

When you show how to electrocute a person without fail, would be murderers will take lessons which may include even adventurous kids. While the things shown on bv are all there in masala movies which have U certificates.

There are things like how to hang by tying a rope, how the gas cylinders are turned on, how elelctrocution takes place, how to make bombs, how to burn persons,how to torture a person using third degree ragging methods etc. which are used as lessons by some impressionable. Even films like Special 26 inspired some bank heists and so are credit card cloning and note printing.

Crime serials with all these things are also aired at prime time. In the name of creating awarenesss.

Hate BV by all means, but try to take note of what I am trying to say.

@ leaves ...Now a days Television promotes not only violence , but fear as well !!

It's a scary world today ! Growing up for children used to be less traumatic just few years ago !

Life has changed drastically ...it is a sociological problem...needs immediate intervention of social welfare groups ! It is a larger than life--- problem, because the life... the essence...the existence of the society itself is involved in it !

A 2004 poll found more than half the children questioned ...said they were afraid of violent crime against them or a family member. Are these kids just paranoid, or is there a real problem?

Well, it turns out... this is not some irrational fear, based upon a false perception of danger. Life has indeed become more violent and more dangerous for children in particular and for mankind in general !

The innocence of childhood has been replaced by the very real threat of violence.

Even families living in so-called "safe" neighbourhoods are concerned. They may feel safe today, but there is always a reminder that violence can intrude at any moment !! A child's exposure to violence is pervasive. Children see violence in their schools, their neighbourhoods, and their homes. The daily news is rife with reports of child molestations and abductions. War in foreign lands [Gulf war--live telecast !! ] along with daily reports of murder, rape, and robberies also heighten a child's perception of potential violence .

@leaves ...as you rightly said...Television in the home is the greatest source of visual violence for children!

And the latest scourge is MTV. , and this impact is intensified as they spend countless hours in front of TV watching violent and sensual images that go far beyond the images shown on commercial television. Violence has always been a part of the human condition because of our sin nature!!!

Does this have an effect? Certainly it does!!

What we view and what we think about... affects our actions !! Defenders of television programs say that isn't true!! They contend that televised imagery doesn't make people violent nor does it make people callous to suffering. But if televised imagery doesn't affect human behaviour, then the TV networks should refund millions of advertising rupees to TV sponsors!!???--

In essence, TV executives are talking out of both sides of their mouths.

On the one hand, they try to convince advertisers that a 30-second commercial can influence consumer behaviour. On the other hand, they deny that a one-hour programme wrapped around the commercials can influence social behaviour. ...commercial profit !!

The biggest problem now is ...in what way we can protect our children...ourselves [!!! ] from the negative impact of the social media ??

Wow seetha. What a well researched comment! I liked your input very much.
There should be guidelines about prime time programs. they should implement them also.
