Another significant change in our social environment in the 21st century has been the fullness of our culture and our daily life by television. Unfortunately, the effects of one of the most common forms of electronic media have a devastating effect on children's well-being. Now it's not just children who are in the wrong place or having "bad" friends who are likely to be exposed to bad things when they go out on the street. The ugly "real" road is easily accessible to many young people now in their homes.
