Television has been a popular electronical device since its invention.People from all ages watch TV because there are every kind of programmes in it.However,children are the most faithful viewers.Many children spend an average of 2 hours a day in front of TV.Unfortunately,TV is harmful for children.No matter what the opponents say,it has a bad effect on children.
The first reason why TV is bad for children is that it causes health problems.Scientists claim that children who watch TV an average of 3 hours a day are under the risk of obesity.Many children are overweight because thet do not move while watching TV ,and,furthermore,thet eat junk food.At the same time,it causes poor eye-sight.In short,it prevents the development of a healthy brain, as well as physical,and social development of a child.
The second reason why TV is bad for children is that TV characters can be bad role models for children.Many TV characters wild and dangerous.Therefore,children can tend to show violent behaviour.Smoking and drinking are most common amongst the TV characters.In other words, TV accelerates the consumption of alcohol and cigarettes.For this reason, many children start drinking alcohol and smoking in early ages.
On the other hand,the opponets of the idea of TV is bad for children claim that TV is educational for children.However,they seem to forget that because of TV,children can fail to socialize.They cannot find time for a lot of educational things such as reading,doing homework,playing with friends and spending time with family.At this point,it is clear that TV is not beneficial and as educational as social life.
In conclusion,although some people think that TV is useful for children , apparently TV badly affects children.In my opinion,TV-time should be limitted by parents for children's development,education and health.They should just watch informative TV programmes and this time should not exceed an hour.
Beautiful Essey Sezen! Nowadays there are so many channels and programmes on TV and people enjoy watching them but I think it is a waste of time.In my opinion the vision of all pixels of TV screen poison our brain and we become like robots when we are watching TV. The time passes and we do not realize it. All the shows on TV take us from the real life and we live in that screen.In addition, we forget everything which are shown on TV. We waste our time perfectly with unnecessary informations.On the other hand, some people like living with TV. They like eating and sleeping in front of it.To sum up, wasting time with watching TV is kind of living without thinking.
ReplyDeleteWaste of time..Agreed. Thanks for the post, Sezen.
ReplyDeletenowadays, there are many programs which are unnecessary for children and children affect in negatively way
ReplyDeleteTv includes unnecessary programs which are cartoons (like pokemon ) -you know I heard a new in the past.A child watch a pokemon and he thought that he was charizard and he jumped to the balcony. It is a very bad new, am I wrong ?-, marriage programs. And when people watch them, they will be affected badly.
ReplyDeleteI like pokemon. But children who are under 10 should not watch it because they can not decide what is good or not.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very big problem in our world, but lots of families do not realize this problem.
ReplyDeleteParents should make the kids watch TV with schedule or create a positive activity.
ReplyDeleteI wish, only children can watch television programs, including the invention of a guaranteed a seat.
