Culture and communication media cannot be separated one from another, because culture does not only determine who is talking, but also determine about what and how the communication takes place. Culture, in this case, takes a role in determining how the messages are received and meanings are conveyed. The plenty of (visual) mass communication media have succeeded in affirming that globalism has occured everywhere including in Indonesia as a developing country. Television is one sort of mass communication media produced by a long process of human culture development. The intended development is improvement in technological field, specifically in communication and information technology that revolutionize communication techniques. The television mass media have the most powerful effect towards society concerning imitation. Various television programs, especially those that contain violence factors, the violence that is watched by children may stimulate them doing crime in their adulthood. This is because there is a strong relationship between violence on television with factual life. This is a characteristic of media culture that is a kind of visualization culture which can be imitated and followed by anyone.
