The family transforms a young infant into a member of the human community and acts as the first medium for transmitting culture to children. Family imparts a positive impact on the students.School:- School refers to a whole range of formal educational institutions. In the words of Brubacher school is an active, direct, and formal agency of education and socialization.The school imparts a positive impact on students.Peer:- Peer group is a very unpredictable agent in shaping a child's behaviour because of the uncertainty of the type of random person one meets or observes in their surroundings and what influence they impart on the child. Peer influence is such that some children begin to challenge the dominant power of parents and family. It overshadows the parental influence as time goes on especially in the adolescent stage. It may impart a positive or negative impact.Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that the views of social scientists vary regarding the impact of television on the behaviour and attitudes of children and adolescents.
