CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
The television is an electronic aim
mechanical device for audio and visual instruction, information, education,
advertisement, public, radio, and massive outreach at ease and in leisure. It is
a modern scientific technological improvement (over radio) on dissemination or transformation
of information and commucnaiton of idea, ideals and goals. The television, like
the radio, has its own scientific and technological history. It is a wonderful
achievement of man’s developmental instinct that has helped in easing the
burden of existence, albeit with its misuse. Kirpatrido (1983:1330) defines the
television in terms of an electrical transmission of distant objects, events
and occasions, to a wider audience.
No doubts the television is among the best
scientific and technological advancement that have helped in making the
universe a global village. It is at the beck and call of every “Dick and Harny”
that is desirous to get informed, instructed and entertained in “the global
culture or auto-socialization”. Like the radio, it could be listened to and
viewed personally or collectively; it could be mobile. In this wise, the television
holds the capacity of widening man’s horizon in handling his existential
predicament as well as the possibility of eclipsing man’s dignity and morals.
The television capture the two main
empirical sources of receiving information viz: the eye visual and the (audio).
Thus, like the radio, the television could be very powerful in its influence.
Contextually, moral education involves
character information. Spiritual elevation, and social or cultural approbation.
Moral education aims at imparting good social habits and norms which are
capable of fostering integral human and dignified existence. Moral education
has a sits pre-condition the establishment of the sacredness and sanctity of
life and existence.
The metaphysical dimension of moral education
aims at the preservation, protection and refining of living and existence. The moral
philosopher applies the prescriptive method in out-fining the “out to be” in
existence. in this perspective also the moral philosopher is one of the
gadflies or watchdogs of his age or society, high lighting those aspects of existence
which he/she believes are with upholding and criticizing or attenuating those
habits or cultures in existence which
he/she believes do not augur well with holistic existential preservation of up
keep.
Moral education from conventional or
scholar’s perspectives involved distinguishing wrong or bad actions from right
or correct actions. By so doing the moralist or moral educator tries to
influence the actions and behavior of the students/educands positively and
objectively because it is hoped he/she should emphasize morally good actions. That
is why moral education from etymological purview suggest trading out of bad
norms, mores, and habits to better. Conducts, behavior and actions since morality
I rooted to “mores education” implies reading one out of bad human habits
conducts or behaviour in view of proper development.
1.2 Statement
of the Problem
Enough emphases has not been laid in the
moral education value of children via the television powerful members of the
human society have, mostly researchers have not fully exploited this subject
matter. There are always debates in the moral quarters few negative effects
have been done but these negative
effects have not been put into practice.
Rather, parents have always encouraged their children to watch violent movies
which at the end don not yield effective results in terms of morality.
This study therefore seeks to view the roles
that should be done or exercised by AKBC and NTA in the moral education of
children in Uyo metropolis.

1.8 Limitation

tests and attendance to classes in most cases disrupt the research.
Finance sometimes paralyzed the research and
this was accessional by high transport fares where the researcher had to move
from one area to the other.
