MOVIES AND TELEVISION HAVE NEGATIVE EFFECTS THAN POSITIVE EFFECTS ON YOUNG PEOPLE'S BEHAVIOR. |
A lot of young people spend much time watching movies and tv nowadays and this afftects the way they behave. Some people say that watching television and movies is beneficial for the young because tv provides good information and gives them knowledge, allowing them act properly. However, I strongly believe that television and movies influence negatively young people's behavior. This is because they pose some danger to the young, having cruel violence,the young mimicking. Moreover, the young become physically weak as they watch movies and tv. In the end, watching movies and television harm young people's health both physically and mentally.
To begin with, violence in movies and tv programs stimulate the young to copy. Young people tend to do what they see and belive it is right. If a young boy watch a movie about a guy fighting with bad gangsters and become a hero in the end, the boy would want to do the same thing as the guy in the movie did. Because he is not able to meet gangsters in reality, he would choose his sister or younger brother and try to fight with her or him. As they watch more and more movies and tv shows that pose violence, his behavior would be more violent and his attempt to mimic the violence would be increased. In this sense, watching movies and television is disadvantageous for the youngs' behavior.
In addition, movies and tv makes young people be lazy and physically unhealthy. Because they are not old enough to control themselve and lack of ability to do time management, young people stick to the movies and tv programs as they start wathing them. For example, my younger brother who is only 8 years old now, don't do anything but watch his faviorite tv cartoons after school. Since he wants to sit on the couch and only watch the cartoons all day long, not doing any exersize such as playing soccer or basketball, he would get tired easily later on and try not to do anything efficient for his health. In this point of view, movies and tv are not beneficial for the young's behavior.
In conclusion, I'm in support of idea that it is negative rather than positive for the youngs' behavior to watch tv and movies. There are mainly two reasons: young people copy the violents behaviors that they see on movies or tv programs and they would be physically weak as they only want to sit and watch what they want. |
