TRANSCRIPT
Who here watches television?
Children do
Even
minions do
Do YOU?
What if I told you that
there was a theory
related to the watching
of television
Seriously?
Yes! It’s called the…..
Cultivation
Theory
It states that the amount
of television a person watches
effects that person’s behavior
and perceptions of society
Huh?
Basically television
can cause people tobehave and act
differently
It was invented by George Gerbner and Larry
Gross who derived the theory from research relating to the cultivated effects of television to its viewers
Well the type of television
YOU are watching
can effect the way
YOU act
However some scholars feel the theory has more to do with the effects rather than the “who” or “what” isbeing influenced
This is Fred.
Fred loves watching crime shows such as
CSI, NCIS,
Castle, and
Law and Order.
So to conclude…
Always think about what
YOU watch on television
because it could relate to
how YOU act
