In these days, we watch television everyday. From moring to night, we are always doing something. As the biggest massmedia so far, television would be important role in our society. Every people whould has some opinion about the advantage and disadvantage of this unextint display box. Todays, many people have conversation about advertisement on TV. Especially, some people say some advertasing has bad effect on children who are under five. However I think the advertisement on tv does not any effect on children who are under five. Also, I think we do not have to controll or restrict about watching advertisement for them. They even do not know about what they are saying or what they mean. Even they do not remember what they saw on Tv.
First of all, they are not deverlopted enough to understand what actors are saying. They even do not understand what their mother are saying. They only understand easy words or expressions. So, whatever the advertising says on the TV, it does not effect on them. They are too young to figure out what happend on TV. They just can feel something is moving on TV and colors keep changing. That is only they can see on TV.
Second, they even do not remember what they saw on TV. According to famous professor Jung in korea University, children who are over than eight years can remember something they have seen on TV. He said children who are under five cannot remember whatever they have seen on TV. From my memory of childhood, I do not also remember what I have seen on the tv. The reason is that at that time I was too young.
In conclusion, I think people do not have to too much strict about watching advertisings for children. They are too young to figure out what situation is. In the same reason, they cannot remember what they have seen on TV. I partly agree to regulate some advertisings which have sexual behavior or cruel seen. However, there would be some resonable guild lines, too. Restrict for under five years children is too much strict at least on my book.
