Abstract

This study analyses and discusses the opinions of children contained in the texts and drawings that were forwarded to us regarding what they think about what they learn by watching television. Starting from this material, we formulated certain hypothesis regarding the relationship these children established with the television, and the way they deal with the issues that are more common in the actual debates about television in the current days: violence, TV news, soap operas, cartoons, adult entertainment, among others.

Keywords
