Now such a "demanding" viewer is being formed in our country. But Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky, without suspecting it – he is a director by profession, not a psychiatrist – described patients with the so-called "field behavior" and attention, professionally speaking, "narrowed by the type of a corridor". Even in children, field behavior is considered the norm up to the age of two, maximum up to three. And here it is in adults... Comments may seem tactless.

It is better to move on to a brief list of other pathologies provoked by the ill-fated "cutting". This is the discontinuity of consciousness, when a person is unable to build the simplest logical chain. This is (again professional terminology) a leap of ideas. This is emotional stupefaction, which arises as a pathological defensive reaction to the merging of tragic news with neutral and even joyful news. ("The maniac brutally killed another victim. The dollar exchange rate remained the same. Tomorrow the beer festival opens.")

And when a person is stunned by so much shocking news every day, he has amnesia, also of a protective nature. In war, such memory disorders are often the result of concussion. In today's information war, the role of shells and bombs is played by cleverly arranged and appropriately presented information. Shell-shocked by its blast wave, viewers can hardly remember what they saw yesterday. And the political events that they followed so intensely a year ago cannot be recalled even at gunpoint.

And how much effort has been put into introducing as many people as possible to various sexual perversions, which (maybe not everyone knows this?) also belong to the category of psychopathology! For example, the sensational TV program "Behind the Glass", among other things, provoked such a psychosexual disorder as voyeurism (simply put, this is when you get a specific pleasure peeping through the keyhole of someone else's bedroom). Or take the program "The Naked Truth", where, reporting the news, the presenters undress step by step. Both these two programs, and a lot of others, encourage voyeurism on the part of the audience and exhibitionism - a deviation associated with the love of public nudity of the participants. And how monsterphilia (pathological love of ugliness) and pedophilia (until recently this term had to be explained, but now, alas, it is no longer required, television has taken care of educating the masses) are heated up in the media!

Sometimes a clinical diagnosis is not easy to make. For example, in a TV commercial, when the whole family, gathered at the table, steals sausages from each other, and it is presented as a funny game. Who are these toys: oligophrens or kleptomaniacs? Or can we talk about a combined defect? Professor Gannushkin is sorely missed...

Until recently, at least very young children were left alone. Computer games, idiotic books and even cartoons with Batman and cyborgs - all this was not for them yet. But now there are developments that cover this age group as well. What if they have time to form normally in the first three years of life?

"Teletubbies, the world's first program for babies under one year of age, appeared in England in 1997 and were immediately exported to the United States by PBS (Public Broadcasting Station), a company specializing in children's educational products," writes sociologist N.E. Markova, who has already been quoted above, "From the very beginning, the producers of the TV program persistently positioned it as an educational one... The advertisement claimed that the program developed infants' imaginations, facilitated their motor development, promoted preverbal language development, and taught how to use technology.

Do you see how attractive? Moreover, now it is fashionable to engage in the early intellectual development of children. But from the analysis of N.E. Markova it becomes obvious that there can be no talk of any intellectual development. Rather. How is a small child taught? "They show him some object or picture and say: "This is so-and-so." In Teletubbies, verbal information often contradicts visual information. Markova gives a typical example: Visual information is a close-up: the boy's hand is holding a piece of apple. Verbal information: the child's voice behind the scenes: "These are grapes."

Or: children's fingers are holding a brush with red paint, painting a Dymkovo toy. The child's voice behind the scenes: "This is green paint." This is how the still very fragile psyche of the baby becomes chaotic, the assimilation of correct information is blocked.

"Teletubbies" also teach deviant, deviant behavior.

N.E. Markova proposes to consider some of the models of introduced behavior:

Behavior model: to fulfill the desire, it is enough to whine a little and clap your hands.

The result of mastering the model: passive nature, inability to achieve goals and fight life difficulties.

Behavior model: before going to bed, you need to whine, hide, say "No – no".
