Should parents worry about what television is doing to their children? Is it making them fatter‚ stupider‚ more violent? After all‚ TV has changed since today’s parents were children. It’s bigger‚ brasher and on all the time.

In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting between the two different households and hopefully my audience will have a better understanding of some of the challenges and obstacles that each of these parents deal with on a day by day basis. One of the points I will discuss will be the guilt that both types of these
