Media can be a powerful entertainment and education tool for children within the right programming. nevertheless, research has shown that television, and media in general, can have a negative influence. Some studies suggest it can shorten attention span, distort body image, work in conjunction with other factors to escalate obesity, create fear, and increase aggressive and anti-social behaviors if exposure is unmonitored and unlimited.
Children are vulnerable around the age of 0-16 and therfore will get influenced very easily. For example if a child is brought up watching films in which gangsters are portrayed to be 'cool' and 'bad' they will want to become cool like the gangsters on television. this effects a child in a very negative manner.!
