▶ Your Answer :
It is debatable whether television and movies relatively have more
bad effects comparted to positive effects on children's behavior.
There are many opinions concerning this issue. In my opinion, however, I
believe that television and movies affect children's behavior badly for the
following reasons.
First of all, watching television and movies can make
children act violently. There are many violent scenes in drama, movies and
children who do not have self-control is directly exposed to the scenes. It’s easy to for them follow the violence on the scenes. As
a result, they will tend to show violent behavior easily when they have
troubles with them. For instance, my cousin who used to watch action movies had
to meet a guidance counsellor due to bullying at school. He was once a
nice boy to obey his parents before enjoying action movies. After he is
influenced by them, he totally changed and became short-tempered.
Second, addictive characteristics of television and
movies have bad effects on regular life which is important for children’s physical growing. It is natural that movie makers and
producers make their work addictive because they want more viewers to watch
their program and movies. Therefore, children are susceptible to be caught in
the trap. They will be into such programs on the television staying up all
night. It makes them lose their regular life, which is directly correlated to
their physical health. A lack of sleep will slow down their growth. For
example, according to a study conducted by the Korea university. there is a
relationship between child growth and watching time of television. as the time
increased, the growth of children is more delayed.
In conclusion, I firmly assert
that television and movies are bad for children’s behavior. All things considered, it is my belief that the more
children watch television and movies, the more worsen children’s behavior. |
