Impact of Internet and Television on Children and Youth's Life

Television and internet with all their spreading prowess seem to have had a major impact on the development of children and adolescents. Lack of studies on these issues in our country has led to increased lack of information on these issues. Of course this lack of information is also reflected in the education of children and adolescents. Cartoon films appear to be problematic in terms of increasing aggressiveness and unrealistic perception among children. Early access to the Internet also tracks their development. This early and uncontrolled access influences the increase in the viewing of pornographic material to a large extent, as well as increases the predisposition to modeling sexual behaviors. Also, uncontrolled access makes problems in the perception of interpersonal relationships as well as the creation of new online identities. This book aims to provide a more accurate and detailed understanding of the impact of television and the internet in these age groups. Based on these studies psychologists and scholars can build good parenting education programs. This book serves also as a good reference for future scholars who want to embark on a wider work on these themes.
