Television is becoming more and more an educational essentialfor children. Before they start school, children learn many basic andfundamental tools from television.

As children get older there argonmany story- guaranteeing shows that either feature stories with good morals or theytell masterpiece stories like Hercules, Hunchback of Notre Dame, etc.. Some ofthese stories ar now a part of our culture and childr en know and understandthem because of television.     As people invoke older, television, at least for recent generations, playsa large role in socialization. On many sitcoms and talk shows one can learn ofproblems of at present like teenage pregnancy, poverty, drugs, etc..
