During the last 50-60 years many families have chosen to leave America’s urban areas in hopes to escape the social and psychological influences endemic of large cities. Seeking low crime rates, strong communities, and relative safety, these families have fled to the suburbs. With the advent of the modern talk show and networks like MTV, however, the reality is that everything they were trying to escape is now being piped directly into their living rooms. Television talk shows such as “Jerry Springer,” “Jenny Jones,” and networks such as MTV, are actively shaping the minds of today’s youth, causing disastrous social and psychological effects. An example of how today’s television culture causes undesirable thought processes in America’s youth is by holding up high, role models which not even the most uncaring of parents would want their children idolizing.
