We are living in the society in which many different kinds of advertisements are flooding. Some people claims that these advertisements should not be permitted to children under the age of five. As far as I am concerned, I agree with this point because it can affect direclty on children who are not ready for distinguishing whether is right or wrong. In this regard, I will list tow reasons supporting my opinion.
To begin with, television commercial films should be filtered because today's advertisements tend to have viloent and sensational factors. It is true that advertisements are not for children, but for adults who want to purchase somethings. So, those advertisements feature visual elements which is disigned to lure costomers. In a word, we know that they include some violent, sensational and provocative factors. Seriously, it will be a potential problem if children are exposed to them. Because they do not have an ability to discern it's justification. So, they should be forced to be far away from them.
Secondly, In this period, it is time for children to easily mimic and adopt some behaviors to their own customs. They readily learn wrong behaviros from repeated images through television advertisements. What I notice is that imprinted images into their brain or unconsicious habituation can affect on their overall life. Obvously, there are more possibility of learning bad habits or wrong sicail knolwedge, as they are more exposed to advertisements. These acquired customs will be a part in their character. So, in a stage in which they develop their charater and constitution, they should not be exposed to television advertisements because they can easily acquire sensational conducts.
To sum up, children should not be allowed to televisioin commercial films because they not only do not discern what is right, but also easily mimic wrong behaviros from them. For these reasons, I agree with the main point.
