▶ Your Answer : Would it be no problem to say that television and movies have more disadvantages than advantages on children’s behavior? Although some people claim that there is many benefits of television and movies for children, others point out that Television and movies are harmful to children. In my opinion, I would firmly argue that it is obvious that positive effects are far more dominant on children behavior than negative effects. To begin with, one of the reasons is that children are easy to be addicted in television and movies. To be specific, when children get interested in them, they would be absorbed to them continuously. It is hard for them to control their desire to watch television and movies. For example, my younger sister likes cartoons so much. As soon as she gets up in morning, she always runs to the television to watch a cartoon. Moreover, she watches a cartoon even when she should eat meals. Even though cartoons make her happy, It is serious that it effects negatively on her basic living. Thus it would be safe to say that the addiction to television and movies is serious problem. Furthermore, another reason is that children absorbs the violent aspect of television and movies. Contents of several movies and television involve harmful and violent scenes. It gives strong impression to them and they tend to imitate violent behavior easily. There are also educational contents effecting positively but violent contents are more memorable to them. For example, I met some students when I visited elementary school for a volunteer work. They were talking each other aggressively and I found that they imitated a scene of famous action movies. Hence, it would be no doubt to say that some contents involving harmful language or acting influence on children’s behavior negatively. Overall, it is clear that Television and movies function badly to children’s behavior because they are likely to be addicted and violent.
