Television in general has a big impact on society. One way is within the family. The family circle is an ideal place for communication. The very success of the family depends on it. However, to communicate takes time and effort. Today, one of the biggest distractions of time is television. It can be so enticing that family member can become addicted to it, resulting in the lack of communication. It is a way to escape when there are misunderstanding and hurt feelings. Instead of working out problems many choose to refuse to talk and watch television. Television promotes gratifying our own desires. The man of action resorts to violence when his antagonists deserve it. The precocious child humiliates parents with impudent wisecracks. The sensuous romantic gives in readily to adultery and premarital sex. TV rarely speaks negatively of these characters for the their lack of self-control; it glamorizes them. So TV has a great impact on society but what was counteract the trends that are promoted is the bible. A wonderful website that helps us to see Gods standards according to the bible is www.jw.org
