Television under Sruitny. Somebody's watching you!
The following report presents the findings of the brief scrutiny of Television watching by various viewers
Most children of age around 2-7 years are habituated to watch Cartoon Serials such as Chhota Bheem , Ben Ten and Tom and Jerry. Though most of these serials are not showing violence, many of them are just to show excessive aggression and power. The condition is that parents too either encourage the children watch such cartoon serials thinking that they might make them strong and daring. But consequences are just opposite.
Most teenagers of the age group 8-14 have been seen to be more interested in cinemas and are much fascinated by watching smart and attractive movie stars. Their age is of approaching puberty and they get more or less emotionally as well as physically imbalanced and through the movies they try to give some drain to their emotions. Very less number of teenagers of this age group have been found interested in Sciences or good career-making, exactly opposite to what it used to be.
The grown-ups of age group 15-22 years show a wide variety of interests. But the general trend continues as that of the teenagers of 3rd group. Here too, movie stars and fashion are much more approaching to the young minds. But, somewhat larger seriousness is seen towards career. That’s why many individuals of this age group have been seen to be watching news and sports events. The current movements in the Indian political arena has also attracted the youth towards watching news. But, overall violence and vulgarity exposure is more to this age group.
Adult males of the age group 23-40 have been found to be very inactive in watching television. Instead they rely more on newspapers. Due to the long working hours, they are unable to have spare time for entertainment in this way. But they are more interested in watching movies that are more humorous or full of action. Coming to the female members of this age group, they are interested only in family drama serials. Most of them are homemakers and so they have enough time to watch television. Actually, the most of the usage of television has been observed to be made by these female members. Though the violence shown in such serials is lesser, the current trends have tilted towards some vulgarity.
The individuals of higher age group have been seen to be less involved in television watching. The little activity that has been seen is in the family dramas and serials themselves.
Overall, the content related to violence and vulgarity is much in demand. Almost all the movies being made are trying to imitate the western trend and that’s the reason for fall in the quality content on television. The trend has changed a lot in the last 5 years time period. The demand for informative channels such as Discovery channel and News channels have somewhat declined. The encapsulation being done by the viewers is causing all this and is becoming fatal to the society itself. So, the television trends are going negative as per my vision.
