Social Outcasts.

Marie Winn, author of Plug In Drug, explains that television is so popular among youth, that parents are "afraid that watching less TV or none at all will turn their kids into social outcasts" (210).

This theory needs to be broken so that kids can use their imagination and be active together. This would replace loafing on the sofa by themselves and talking about what they watched later when they see each other at school. Lets level the playing field and have a Turn Off Week so that no child feels left out from not watching television, but that all of them have taken a break from the powerful medium.
