Critics often charge that television's portrayal of violent and sexual themes powerfully affects its viewers, especially children. How much of a role do you think TV plays in the socialization process? Does it affect everyone to the same extent? Post your positions in your blog and defend your positions.
I believe that TV greatly influences it watchers special when its a younger viewer. I can say from person experience that television effects children, for a example my girlfriend is a full time nanny she watches a little girl that is 5 and boy that is 8. The little girl asked why did a guy try to give my girl friend his number when she already had a boyfriend. The nanny said he didn't know i had a boyfriend. The little girl replied yeah, because guy have to have a hot car and hot cloths to have a girlfriend. When asked where she came up with this, she said of thats what the people on the television show " the secret life of a teenager". With decades of research saying that children should not watch any tv under the age of three. teens that watch TV with sexual content have a high chance of teen pregnancy

Experiments
After watching the two experiments, create a new blog. How are the experiments similar? What are the ramifications of the experiments? What are the ethics of the experiments? Any other thoughts and opinions about the experiments. What ways are experiments successful? Can you think of an experiment you would want to conduct?
i thank these are very similar due to that they are both based om emotional stress on somebody els. what made these expariments great was that they showed us how we would act in a controlled environment makeing us face what people would really do in sertine situations. while the ethics may seam harsh all the percipients could leave at any time and would have much knowledge to gain from the experiment. i believe these experiment was successful do to the fact that they have shown us how bad people can be and how quickly people could fall to rule and control. I would like to do a experiment to see what a person would rather do after high school go to college work force or military and see if they would have chose the same path 30 years down the road. but only if they know what it would be like if they did all three with out ageing. the problem with this is that this can not be done do to time.
