that their behaviour will be violent & aggressive if they were older. Parents & Teachers

should help their children or students in preventing to watch violent & aggressive

programs that are very inappropriate to the children. Parents should monitor their

children in watching television programs because the influence of watching too much

television shows could lead to a very serious problem of their behaviour.

There is an appropriate time to watch television shows but parents should be

more aware on what their child is watching because if they’re not careful, their child

could have imitate the behaviour he/she watched in a television program, for example;

aggressiveness or hostility. Parents should let their children watch television shows that

aims to empower children by encouraging them to become who they want to be and the

best that they can be. It should be a value-oriented TV shows that will teach them good

manners or proper behaviour that they can imitate. Watching television is good for

everyone because it can informative & helpful but too much of this could be bad. Some

psychological, behavioural & social problems could occur if watching television is too

much for any person especially a child. Many people would say that “Everything too

much in life is illegal, fattening or bad” and maybe that is really true. We chose this

topic, “The Impact of Goin’Bulilit Show on the Social Relationship among the

Elementary Students” because we want to know if this children show has an effect on th

way children behave with their families, friends and peers.

Research Assumptions

There is an impact to the respondents in their social relationship with their family

and peers when they are watching Goin’ Bulilit. Technology factors, especially television

have a big contribution to the elementary students nowadays. This was studied by

several psychologists and it seems that the technology factor may be the key why

certain children behave in a certain way.

The researchers studied and trying to find-out how much impact can affect the

children if they are constantly watching uneducated TV shows. If parents will be more

attentive & aware to their children when watching television, their children will be able to

know how to perceive this world as it is.
