Some of today's people think that TV is one of the excellent invention which has influenced positively to our life. However, contrary to their opinion, I agree with the above statement for the following reasons. First, in buliding children's strong character, watching TV is very harmful. Second, TV doesn't give children the chance to think deeply about the information TV provides.
Above all, TV has a bad effect in building children's desirable character. To be sure, TV is one of the best educational tool in that it provides children with audio-visual effects. However, TV's negative influence cannot be compared with this beneficial point. In order to draw more viewers, today's TV programs are becoming more and more indiscreet and include stimulating contents such as sex, violence and abusive language. If children who do not have ability to discriminate watch TV, it is likely that children accept these information directly without careful
thinking, and thus, it causes serious bad effect especially to children who are in process of buliding strong character. Let's take my nephew's case. When he was young, because his parents had to work until late at night, he spent almost time alone at home watching TV. As time passed by, his naked exposure to TV programs had bad effect on his character, and thus, he grew up to be violent person. In this regard, it is obvious that TV is very harmful to children.
Besides, The information provided by TV do not give children the opportuniy to think deeply about them. TV provides chidren information which has more variety than books. However, such diverse information sometimes makes them feel distracted and thus, children cannot concentrate on the information obtained from TV. In addition,
TV gives children informaiton so fast that they cannot have the time to think profoundly. If children cannnot have the opportunities to think deeply, they are not able to improve their thinking power. Because childhood is an important time to enhance thinking power, such opporutunites are essential especially for children. Thus, TV has bad effect on children in that its information rob children of opporutinity to consider.
In conclusion, in buliding children's strong character, watching TV is very harmful and TV doesn't give children the chance to think deeply about the information TV provides. For those reasons, I strongly believe that watching TV is has a negative effect on children.
