77.8 Upgrading the Quality of Television Programming for Youth
Whereas, The youth of today are our most precious heritage and we must accept our share of responsibility for the quality of life in the world they will inherit from us;
Whereas, There is a direct and complex relationship between the portrayal of television violence and the increasingly violent and exploitive nature of our society; and,
Whereas, The pollution of the mind and spirit is at least as destructive as pollution of the physical environment and because of the intrusive nature of television; therefore,
RESOLVED, That the National Council of Women of Canada request the Government of Canada to urge the CRTC to give priority to the development and implementation of high standards of entertainment directed at youth, and concern be expressed regarding the increasing violence and exploitive nature of present television programming.
