Movies and televisions nowadays become one of the most popular recreations. The not only make people excited but also provide useful information. However, such information is not academic so that movies and televisions rarely have positive effects.
To begin with, movies and television programs include inappropriate contents for teenagers. Violence is the most common scene that one can easily watch from the media. Children watching these violent scenes may be misled that violence is a cool thing and not a big deal. Therefore, the wrong and biased opinion may be in their head. In addition, movies and television stimulate teenager’s curiosity on sex. From these media, teenagers without getting sexual education also can get a biased idea on sex. For example, because of the increasing number of action movies and sex appeal in televisions, the crime rate and abortion rate are soaring greatly in Japan.
On the top of that, kids become passive due to films and television programs. Films and televisions are so attractive that most time children stay at home and watch at the screen. This may preclude children from playing at outside or hanging out with their friends. If this continue, possibly children may feel lonely and become passive. Moreover, watching the digital screen for a long time may cause some health problems, especially astigmatism. A good example is my cousin, a movie mania. Usually, he spends more than five hours on watching movies everyday. Due to this habit, his eyesight is poor, and he gets obesity.
Although it is true that movies’ and televisions’ some positive impacts on kids, I strongly believe that negative influences are much greater than these fortes. It is because there are many inappropriate contents for children on films and televisions. Moreover, todays more and more kids become passive and suffer from illness due to movies and television programs. |
