A step by step tool for top achievers

4. Negative Movies and Television Programs
Today's kids are learning their attitudes and values more from television and movies than
from anywhere else. It is estimated that in the United States, by the time a youngster gets
out of high school, he has watched more than 20,000 hours of television, witnessed
15,000 murders, and watched 100,000 alcohol-related commercials.*
They convey the message that drinking is fun, smoking is glamorous, and drugs are the
"in" thing. No wonder the crime rate is so high!
Soap operas glamorize premarital and extramarital sex. No wonder commitments are
lacking in relationships and divorce rates are high. Impressionable viewers set their
standards and benchmarks based on what they see and hear in the media. And no
matter who it is, we are all impressionable to varying degrees.
5. Profanity
Using profanities show a lack of self-control and discipline.
6. Rock Music
The lyrics of some hit songs are obscene. We can be subconsciously influenced by the
music we hear and the performance we watch.
