Nowaday, television has become a device that children sometimes can’t not resist its appealing, along with its content. Many people believe that the amount of time that a child spend on watching it can affect that child’s behaviour, and some says that its the content is to blame instead. This essay is written to show that both opinions are correct.
Firstly, the media that are showed on television can shape the mind of the children and play an important role at deciding children’s initial opinions about the world surrounding them. There are various reasons explain why children should not be allowed to consume violent and horror movies, as well as sports that are too aggressive, as these things can make a child intimidate those actions and inadvertently make him more frenetic and could be easily irritated.
Secondly, sitting too long before a television’s screen could create an obedience lifestyle for a kid, and make him become a lazy person. The habit is seen to be detrimental and would possibly put children’s mental at stress, create anti-social mindset and make him feel that his life is not worth to live. Not to mention that this lifestyle could even leave a child more vulnerable to diseases.
In conclusion, it is safe to say that both viewpoints are correct. Watching irrelevant contents on televison, such as aggressive and devious movies, can help shape the child’s behaviour to become something that resemblance to what he watch. Likewise, watching television for an extensive time could cause disorder in lifestyle and decrease mental will of a kid, as well as leaving him more vulnerable.
