​     Television directly affects social relations and interactions. These are the relations that bind people and define how people interact on a one on one basis. One can easily analyse the cultural structure through following the programs documented in a place. This is because television clearly portrays the interactions dominating sub culture relations. For instance, the mixture of local and international cultures will be shown just from watching the programs aired in the television.



     This pattern essentially oversees societal relationships. Relationships in society breakdown to the family level and hence the magnitude deriving from the television is unique. This is because television can combat the signals that come from alien structures (Television servicing, 2009). One of the major impacts that television has attained as far as family relations are concerned is invading the social structure. This implies that television has made people captives in their own homes. For instance, people nowadays spend more time glued to the television screen as opposed to visiting friends or even chatting with parents. Previously, families allocated sufficient time to meaningful discussions as well sharing crucial issues that shaped up the lives of people. Nowadays, there is no room for wise counsel from the parents or question time from children. The only thing predominant in most families is a lineup for programs allocating time to each family member. Family relations are hence darned cold and passive. That said, it is obvious that this mindset will cause harmful consequences on societies. For instance, suicidal cases are on the increase in the modern day and age. There might be multiple reasons as to why an individual would wish to take their own life, but solitude is among them. Before the television took the pivotal role in the family setting, people used to converse and engage in meaningful social contact. Children nowadays spend their time between video games and watching television. Parents on the hand divide their time between watching television and working or attending to home chores. This clearly implies that there is no spare time to interact among the family ties.

     This is a threatening situation in itself as once family ties are broken; the society at large is essentially doomed. This is the reason as to why parent no longer step in to correct their children when they go wrong. Everyone is busy either watching television or engaging in daily routine hence erasing the fundamental role played by social ties. There is a rise in moral decay blamed on television. The correct culprit for this misdemeanor would be the liable parents for negating the duty bestowed to them by the universe as well as the constitution (Television servicing: circuit diagrams, 2007).

     The foreign social relations in families, as well as societies, today present an uneasy as well as enlightened turnout. These relationships indicate that there are weak and strong points in the societal structure hence all is not lost for the weakening family relations. Instead, it is necessary to consider the reason behind the viewer for watching television, as well as their perspective. This is because viewers will be frustrated if the televised information is adopted for bad intentions. However, all systems have flaws. Thus, if the alien family structures are aired and made all rosy, the exposed viewers would eventually resent their own predicament. The sad part is that this is the current state of events in the modern world. This is because there is a lack of having a very organized western media. This results the western media to present a widespread of extraordinarily organized societal setup and this is lacking in other television platforms. Other upcoming television platforms expose their weaknesses to their audience in an uncontrolled manner. This practice cancels out the ability of the societal structure to tolerate or absorb the aggravated opinions. Television anchors mostly in the developing world need to follow to a code of conduct that will restore the order in the social relations (Winship, 2008).
