▶ Your Answer :
Children’s intellectual, social, and
personal development is highly influenced by their pastime. With this
understanding, I believe that television and movies have positive effects on
children’s behavior for two reasons. This is because watching television and
movies enable children to relieve stress and enjoy a better quality of life.
First, watching television and movies allow
children to relieve stress. Understanding the daily life of children and the
potential role of television and movies is necessary to substantiate this view.
Once children are at school, they have to endure countless textbooks and continue
to read more even at home. Such exhausting routine repeats itself and
eventually wears down children. As a way to manage the ensuing stress, children
can watch interesting animations by television or movies for kids. Even if it
is only for a short time, this frees their minds from the intense mental
pressure from school. Managing children’s stress is important because if they
are stressed out, they will be depressed and sometimes behave aggressively. In
this regard, I learned that watching television and movies allow children to
relieve stress, having positive effects on them.
Second, watching television and movies
enables children to enjoy a better quality of life. Interestingly, a renowned
social scientist in South Korean published an article in “The Korean Herald” last
Tuesday which claims that watching television and movies enables children to
strengthen relationships with friends. The article claims that 68 percent of
200 Korean people believe that watching television and movies enable children
to connect with their peers. Essentially, watching popular TV show or animation
movie promote to chat with friends about what they have watched, allowing them
to openly interact with one another. Such intercommunication builds a platform
not only to mingle with peers but also create lasting memories, encouraging
children to become more socially aware and ultimately enjoy a better quality of
life.
To sum up, I believe that watching
television and movies have positive effects on children’s behavior for the
following reasons: to relieve stress and enjoy a better quality of life.
Consequently, the importance of my view cannot be underestimated for the reasons
I mentioned above.
