As technology has developed, many people as well as young people get to watch movies and television than ever. Some people believe that this phenomenon has enhanced the children's quality of life and the level of knowledge. However, in my opinion, watching too much movies and television has negative effects on young people.
To begin with, movies and television affect children's behavior negatively. Since children are not matured mentally, they often follow after the behavior of the characters in movies or TV programs. Unfortunately, there are a wide range of violent and sexual scenes in many movies and TV programs. Consequently, it is likely that children have more possibility of learning violent and vulgar behavior from the media. At least, this is true to my cousin. My cousin is 10 years old now and he is a big fan of war movies. At first, he began to learn the names of weapons in the movies and then he started to follow the behavior of soldiers in the movies. And worse, he followed the torture scene to his pet. I was very shocked at his behavior and I believe that movies and television can seriously affect child's a way of behavior.
On top of that, watching too much movies and television is not good at young people's health. Since movies and television stimulate a wide variety of senses, those are addictive. Therefore, children love to watch those more than playing sports or doing outdoor activities. As a result, children are vulnerable to get diseases. In addition, watching too much movies and televisions weaken the children's eyesight. This is because if children watch TV for a long time or at close distance, their eyes are susceptible to be tired. For instance, when I was in the rural are, there were a lot of children who like to do outdoor activities. Therefore, their body was strong and it was hard to find those who wear glasses. On the othere hand, I could find children who are weak and wear glasses, because there were numerous children who love to watch TV instead of playing sports.
In conclusion, I think watching movies and television have negative effects on young people, because it can negatively affect children's behavior. Moreover, it also weaken children's health. In this regard, I firmly believe that movies and television have negative impacts on children. |
