Then in the same time, the areas that had a levelling out in population growth  were America latin and Caribia, North America, West Asia with the number of 0.5, 0.25, 0.12 billion respectively. I supposed that the increase of Asia pacific population was caused both by large area and the density of the nations there.

Some of them are to change  local culture  to the permisivism, to give any kinds of religious overview and to change the freedom of thinking.

Television can change local culture to the permisivism. It is shown by many TV's programs adapted from abroad that make local culture left by the community. Then the abroad culture do not match to local society. Maybe they suggest that  abroad cultures are more interesting than local cultures are. Besides, the community fed with abroad culture. Therefore copying abroad culture  sucah as the way in wearing cloth, kinds of food, musics, films and so on makes the local culture  not unique and amazing. Overall, these are negative effects  that are caused by television. Accordingly, there must be an attention from authority and stake holder to keep the regulation on TV's program in good circumstances. This regulation can reduce or minimyze the negative effects.

In another side, television gives anykinds of religions overview. For example, TV's programs can reach the small town or small villages by the encreasing of technology, then the religious program will lead the society to the proper view of other religions. Moreover, the values of religious program change their bad habits to nice activities. Certainly, TV's program  must reflect identity of nations like the traditional culture  and the rich of tribes language, indeed the religious value, that is presented to enrich people education and keep the religious culture unique and exist. These are some of positive effects of television.

It is si important too that television changes the freedom of thinking. For instance TV's program gives the community international news and it increases their knowledge. Also the dialogues program that present experts in their fields give the mutual understanding  of all things. Therefore, they have freedom to show their thinking without disturbing others' interests. The freedom of thinking gives the community inspiration to be developed society.

We can see that the influences of TV's programs will be both positive and negative. The positive effects are to develop religious values and to encourege freedom of thinking. Thus the negative one is to cause local culture to be unpopular culture, therefore there must be a balancing ar TV's program between the values of culture, religion and knowledge.
