I would give them this speech:
Many parents believe that contemporary Television advertisements are changing the behavior of their children. Children demand more of the products whose advertisements they like. According to them, TV ads have a lot of impact on children who may resort to blackmailing and nagging their parents to purchase the advertised products. Whereas a few parents opine that TV ads are a source of knowledge to them. But no one can deny its importance as a factor that drives their product choice. The present study strives to find out whether children love watching television so much that they prefer it over social interaction, physical and developmental activities or they just use it as a leisure activity. TV ads also educate the children regarding many issues. It can also help in inculcation good habits and civic sense in them. This aspect cannot be left unseen. Today’s interactive television is a huge ocean of knowledge to which the older generation was deprived. This study is an attempt to know which side of the coin is more powerful. Is TV advertisement a source of nuisance among our children or is it trying to make them better citizens of tomorrow? Thanks for listening!
