Abstract : This study applies ethnographic methodology through studying television viewing habits of some Arabic migrate families in China, as the Arab community comprises different communities in the customs and traditions in different geographical locations. As the unit of analysis, we lived with some Arabic families to monitor the behaviours and interactions toward television, and interpret the messages and their relationship to culture and ethnic characteristics. The research concluded a relative rise in watching TV and the impact of the language factor on the viewing habits, as well as we found parental authority over their children in the selection of content that is consistent with the values and customs of Arabic Muslim families.
