Nowaday, it becomes one of the biggest problems in Korea and even all over the world that the some media on television and movies affect our children. As a result, many people argue that movies and media on television are bad for children also it should be prevented from watching by children. However, I strongly believe that such media can be the best education methods. This is because we can educate children by using television and movies and because they can give our children their own dream.
To begin with, we can educate our children by using the television programs and movies. Television programs and movies can be a good educational method because they provide visual scenes. It is obvious that children have interests in visual information. Therefore we can use these visual information as educational method. For example, There is a educational broadcast in Korea which is called educational broadcast service, or for short EBS. EBS provides a lot of educational programs for young children and also students. Moreover many children in Korea learn how to speak English by watching hollywood movies. In this sense, television programs and movies are good educational methods.
On top of that, television programs and movies could give children a dream. By watching movies and television, children would have a dream that they want to become a person who is like the hero in the movie or television. In my case, I had a dream when I was young that become a basketball player after watching the basketball movie. Although I an not a basketball player now, it gave me a good hobby, playing basketball.
In conclusion, although many people claim that television and movie bring a bad effect for our children, I think that if we can control them well, these are good for our children in that they can be a good educational method and they make children have a dream. |
