Opinions vary regarding whether TV or movies have a positive influence rather than a negative influence on young people’s behavior. I disagree with the statement for the following two reasons. This is because watching TV or movies increase violent and lazy behavior among youths.
First of all, TV or movies make people behave violent. In these days, many young people spend most of their time watching TV and movies. The problem with this is that it causes them to become violent because TV shows and movies include a lot of violent scenes that is inappropriate for young people to watch. Thus, if young people are exposed to the scenes, they are negatively influenced. According to a study conducted by Korean National Research Center, 71 percent of education specialists answered that the way children behave increasingly becomes hostile and irritating if they spend more time for watching TV and movies. Based on the study, young people who watch TV programs and movies too much will not differentiate reality from the fictional scenes. As a result, the young people are likely to imitate the violent behavior of character on TV and in movies.
In addition, young people’s behavior will change toward laziness. Some people say that watching TV and movies is a good way for young people to reduce their stress. However, today’s young people tend to exceedingly watch TV programs and movies. In this context, TV or movies might negatively change young people’s behavior toward laziness and passivity. Take my cousin case as an example: he once was very energetic person, and liked to play outdoor sports during his childhood. However, He became increasingly involved in watching TV and movies, which made him to be lazy and passive. As time passed, he felt bothered and irritated by his friends visit to the house and was not interested in conversation with them. He would only like to watch the story development and character’s acting on TV. As my cousin experience illustrates, TV programs or movies have a bad impact on young people.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that TV or movies can make young people to behave more violently. Moreover, young people’s lazy and passive behavior is caused by watching TV and movies exceedingly. |
