We live in an age of information and media. The information around us is huge and has many forms with power of changing our lives completely. Just like a coin, it has two sides. The positive side and the negative side. The entity which brings this information to our lives is ‘the media’. So we can say that media has direct effect on our lives.
A grown up person may decide what is good or bad for him and may not fall in the trap of this negative side but this is not the case with the children. It is said that ‘A child’s mind is blank like a slate. Whatever is written on it stays there permanently.’ Eventually, this slate helps the child to create his character. Many such characters together form our society. So if we need good society with good characters, we need to have the control on negative media. We need to protect our children from negative media.
What negative media means is any form of media portraying violence, drunkenness, sexuality, death, disease, sad or terrifying news to children which will have negative impact on their thinking. Keeping such negative media away from children is not easy because now children have much easier access to media than ever before and they are getting used to day by day. A much wider variety of content of the media is available to them just at their fingertips due to the technology available today.
