"Television – that are controlled by political forces and corporations-have shaped and construct reality, behavioral and the cultural identity of the community so that later generations came interpret in various ways: to create a range of cultural awareness, that question, tease, criticize, intervene, reflect, and even offer solutions.

The cultural position that these video-makers act are contrary to the community groups that make sense of television technology solely as a consumer, entertainment, or lifestyle.
