The research also investigated how much knowledge young people have about video/TV movies. Although youth know so much about the influence of watching video/movies, the research findings have revealed that individual knowledge does not stand on the same level. The study also found out that video/TV movie watching has immense influence on the youth. This impact plays a major role on the various aspects of their lives be it psychological and physical areas of their human development. The study has brought to light, some attitudes, which both youth and parents have towards video. While some individual youth and parents/guardians encourage the watching of video, others deject it. The study was able to seek recommendations from both youth and parents/guardians. It was investigated that possible recommendations from fellow youth and parents/guardians could be helpful to youth. The research further looked into the types of video that the youth are fond of watching. This quest generated different results, some of which were confined to violence, spiritual, educative, recreational and entertaining. These types of video equally serve as the reasons for the youth to very much get acquainted with video. Furthermore, there is so much spending of money and time involved, so much so that it impedes youth's personal freedom and responsibility to choose what is considered as legitimate and appropriate to Part of the investigation was, to find out at what age the youth begin to pick interest in video or when they become viewers. From the responses given, most youth become passive video recipients before they reach the age of 15. It has been realized that it is either a close friend or a relative such as parent/guardian, brother or sister that exposes the youth to Video watching. The researcher recommended that viewers, especially the youth and parents, should establish a cautious moderation between values derived from video and its infringement with other more essential human values and necessities. The choices that the viewers make according to the researcher's suggestions should be guided by five fundamental questions. The viewer must ask him/herself what to watch, why to watch, which to watch, when to watch, where to watch, and how to watch.enVideo on The Youth
