What blunt fury could excite a man's wiles...
When he thrust up his fists on air for miles...
When he refuses to stampede-ground on agonizing pains...
And traverses not to unlock himself from the bondage of vains?"

What nomadic heart best describes a man's constitution...
When his vices, whims and caprices succumb not to restitution...
When his basic intentions defy lucid explanations...
And obstinates irrationality only rests onto his blind suppositions?

What blatant impetus could a man suffers in perpetuity...
When by greed he opportunely grabs all the grandeurs in sagasity...
When he illicitly seizes his love passions with shrewdest dexterity...
And incessantly advances his insatiable mundane conquests through vague eternity?

     ABSTRACT

     A Quantitative Assessment on Parent Influence on Household TV Consumption

     This study examines the aspects of family life, particularly the presence of control imposed by parents of respondent-families on their children's media consumption, particularly television.

     Socio-demographic variables of the parents, namely: educational level, occupation and number of working hours were related using the Chi-Square test of independence and Spearman Rho, to the extent of control and decision-making they enforce on their children's media use.
