There has been a long-term argument between individuals with different views. The first is that the disadvantages of watching television for children are much greater than the advantages it gives, while other individuals find it very useful for their children to watch it. Personally, I prefer letting the young generation watch television as much as they want for several reasons.
On the one hand, spending particular time in front of the TV can be useful and entertaining to spend free time. Moreover, you can gain some new information and knowledge you did not know before while watching some documentaries about wildlife or science-fiction movies. Furthermore, you can witness the true beauty of nature even if you cannot see it with your own eyes. It means television can provide you with useful materials and knowledge, and these are the main reasons why I and the parents can let youngsters enjoy these things.
On the other hand, it can be harmful at the same time, but it does not mean it has more negative sides compared to its benefits. If you spend too much time in front of the television without following its limited time, you may get some illnesses related to your eyes. Besides, if your parents give you permission to watch it, it does not mean you can watch everything. There are various types of television programs that have age restrictions. That is why you can watch them only until you reach a certain age.
In conclusion, everything has its downsides and upsides, but you should know your limit and use these opportunities to gain new things that can be helpful in your future.
