Who here watches television?

Children do

Even

minions do

Do YOU?

What if I told you that

there was a theory

related to the watching

of television

Seriously?

Yes! It’s called the…..

Cultivation

Theory

It states that the amount

of television a person watches

effects that person’s behavior

and perceptions of society

Huh?

Basically television

can cause people tobehave and act

differently

It was invented by George Gerbner and Larry

Gross who derived the theory from research relating to the cultivated effects of television to its viewers

Well the type of television

YOU are watching

can effect the way

YOU act

However some scholars feel the theory has more to do with the effects rather than the “who” or “what” isbeing influenced

This is Fred.

Fred loves watching crime shows such as

CSI, NCIS,

Castle, and

Law and Order.

So to conclude…

Always think about what

YOU watch on television

because it could relate to

how YOU act
