Impact of TV

Impact of TV

People generally believe that TV has a large influence on viewers at large, and children in particular.

Considering this, there must be some care on what is shown on TV channels. Unfortunately, our channels don't seem to care.

Chennai has a "Compulsory Helmet" rule in force for two-wheeler riders.

I happened to watch episodes of two popular Tamil Serials on two different channels on TV today (June 16, 2008):

"Aanandam" on Sun TV at 7.30 PM
"Simran Thirai" on Jaya TV at 8.30 PM

Both the episodes showed two-wheeler riders riding without a helmet. What was more appalling was that on both occasions, the riders represented the Police!

Will the authorities do something about these?

Regards,
