Mittell reading

Since many families were living in fear of the ever-presence of drugs and the war on drugs, do you think that people were more likely to take part in the turn off the tv week because it was something they could actually control instead of just be in fear of?



There seems to be a lot of inconsistency in the argument for eliminating the use of television. First, people say that it is addictive and dangerous. Then, they are saying that it is okay for adults but not for children. I can't help but wonder was this just a scheme thought up by suburban housewives to try to exert some sort of control over their children and feel good about it? It just seems like another scare tactic cause that people blindly jumped behind.
