Nowadays television become a must have item in every house. Most houses have at least one or more televisions to watch. People spend a lot of time to watch TV for their free time to relieve a stress or entertain themselves. It would be a good aspect of watching television. However, how TV has effects on children. Do they have an only negative effect? I believe that watching TV has also good sides for children considering educational section.
First, many children use television for learning a letter and numbers. Also many schools and day care centers use TV as a teaching method for enlighten children. Through watching TV, children understand the story of Cinderella and Robin hoods as well as any other stories. Moreover world famous children programs, for instance, Sesame Street, Barny and friends have positive effects on children when they are at home. While children watch the program, they learn new words and play dance, this is good for strength children’s health, and learn kind of ethic: what is good and what is bad and how to get along with friends through the story in it. So watching television is rather useful to teach children and the result comes out definitely positive.
Second, watching television gives a chance to children how they act in some situation. Many TV programs contain a violent scene especially an animation movie, which is usually very popular among children. However, according to research paper one of an education institute, the effect of a violent movie is trivial. It says that experiencing violence is very dangerous for children; they tend to imitate to friends what they have had before; however, the indirect experience of violence is rather good to children. Most stories have the same ending that the enemy or the bad people in the story never win against the good people or a righteous party in the movie. So children recognize that violent things or evil power are not good at all. This affects children when they have to make a decision whether they have to solve a problem using power in other words a violent way or with communication with people.
In conclusion, watching television has a positive effect on children. It helps children to learn a language and words. Moreover it gives a direction how they have to behavior when they have a problem.
