They command a lot of respect among the youth. So religious leaders should use their influence and encourage the youth through both church and mosque summons to only utilize the information from various media types to which they are exposed that is beneficial to their moral development. The youth these days use almost every media type from newspapers to Internet hence they are exposed to a lot of explicit information. If they are left by society especially parents and religious leaders, they are more likely to engage in antisocial behavior they imitate from characters on television and other media channels like the internet. | en_US |
