Considering the rural origins of Brazil and the accelerated process of urbanization in recent decades, this article seeks to analyze and compare the social developments resulting from the introduction of television among peasants as well as its influences on the audience made up of children and youth.
The case study applied to the rural area of Palmas (TO) aims to observe the consequences of the introduction of TV in the lives of peasants and to discuss possible changes it brings to their culture, economy and social relations through the influence it has on children. When investigating the integration of that medium in the rural context, the author is aware of the influence of television and the extension of the urbanized and capitalist global reality to the local reality of peasant families. Without ignoring the benefits provided by TV in rural areas, this paper observes the social consequences resulting from its introduction among peasants.
Key words: peasantry, social developments, television, childhood.
