At that time when television (was)
first invented, one person said that "television is an idiot box; people
will realize how it is undesirable."
Despite of his word, nowadays, people consider television and movie as
one part of their life. They affect people in many different way(s). I think expanding of movies and television
programs have positive and negative effect.
They give us many benefits. People can get information
from television news and can read a today's trend in movies. If someone
do(es) not watch television or movie (for a) long time, he or she may become a(n) out-fashioned person. When I was (a) high school student, I could not watch television
because I had to study all day long. I thought it is not important to me, but I
realized its importance later. I could not talk with my friends because the
topic of teenager's chat is usually dramas, TV stars and famous movie. If I had
watched some TV program(s) or movies, I could
have talked with my friends about it. Plus, watching TV or movies are is
(a) good way to spend the leisure time. They
don't ask us (for) expensive cost so (that) everyone can enjoy them. Last but not least,
they give people opportunities that they (for their
viewers to) can experience some situations which is (are) different from them (theirs). Through this (these)
activities people can learn different cultures, types of person and how they
can deal with variable situations.
However, there is (are)
negative effect(s) too. Unless adult(s) do not supervise their children, they can learn
violence from TV programs or movies. Media can affect children's personality
and character. According to what I learned from psychology class, a child who frequently
watched fear (horror) movie(s) in his or her infancy is more aggressive than
others. Besides, TV and movies can (be) addict(-ive to) people like drugs. If someone (people) watch them too much, they may (might be) involved in the imaginary world in (of) TV or movies. Then, they will not be able to
distinguish the real world from imaginary society. Add (In addition), Media including TV and movies can steal
our time for interacting among (with) family
members.
