▶ Your Answer : Many people might think that television and movies have more
positive effects than negative effects on children’s behavior. However, in my
opinion, I think there are more negative influences. I feel this way for two
reasons, which I will explore on the following essay.
To begin with,
the mass media such as television and movies could lead the kids to involve in
some dangerous situation. This is because, when the children without perception
watch such a violent and brutal video, they can imitate those situation or
action. Thus, they could trigger a bad circumstance. I would use my personal
experience as an example; my family went to cousin’s home on Thanksgiving. My eleven
year old causing was watching a Hongkong drama named ‘My Neighbor’ which
includes a lot of action scene with guns and knives. He felt that sights are
incredibly awesome so he started to follow the motions grabbing a toy blade. Suddenly,
the toy hit the vessel beside him and his foot was injured by some debris of
the vessel.
On top of that,
children can face amiss information through TV and movies. People who participate
in making movies or videos prone to distort, add and remove some scene in the
movie for fun. But, teenagers who do not have enough knowledge of history and culture could believe the wrong thing. For instance, I saw ‘The
Girl’ that is a Korean history movie. Virtually, father of the main character
should have been dead before she achieves the goal however the director had
given a change to the story. Her father did not die until the movie ends. There
were many children in the theater so I think they could not have any problem or
believe the movie as a real story with the movie unless their parents teach them
the correction.
For these
reasons, I mentioned above children’s behavior will be affected by bad impact of
television and movies more than good impact. |
