Can someone rate my task two television and children essay? Thanks.

Many people believe that television programs are of no value for children.

Do you agree?

Why or why not?

Since the emergence of TV and its programs, many voices that especially come from worried parents have argued the value of television shows. These parents believe screen shows are useless, and a portion of adults even put effort into restricting how much time their children spend in front of the screen. Others dismiss such statements, on the contrary, proposing many pros that television programs have on the younger generations, and defending such proposals with researched fact.

One main concern for parents and a big reason behind the bashing of television programs is the increased tendency of “staying inside” among youths watching TV. Basically, children would prefer staying at home to watch TV instead of making friends outside. This may lead to impairing the youngsters’ social skills which are essential for leading a healthy life. Furthermore, television shows like movies and series often contain violent graphics, sexual references and/or a false, manipulated image of the world we live in. The second point is especially outlined by those who don’t want to live in a “conformist world”, where televisions decide what to believe and think.

Oppositely, there are countless TV shows with an educational purpose, a deep, lecturing message and sometimes both. The generations introduced to forms of multimedia have shown greatly superior knowledge to their previous relatives, reportedly related to the effect of having fast and cheap info sources. Many shows work as satirical mirrors of society, and others mainly cherish the ideals of love, compassion and understanding. The power of TV allows reaching out to crowds in ways never seen before. All of that has a direct effect on a population’s intellect.

TV shows do have a lot of cons but to label them as useless is rather bold. Thousands of benefits are gained from having an open source for information, and they can make ground breaking changes if given to the right hands.

TV and Reduced Activity

by Tam
(Vietnam)

Hi guys, I need you guys to review this essay of mine. Thank you so so much.

Children nowadays watch significantly more television than in the past, which reduces their activity levels accordingly.

Why is this the case?

What measures can you suggest to encourage higher levels of activity among children?

It cannot be gainsaid that TV has become one of dominant enjoyments in our life, especially inmature adolescents irresitably spend a majority of their time on it. This malady stems from a range of reasons and I would like to recommend some solutions in large.

Firstly, there are nowadays the variety of TV programmes for kid and it is almost impossible to keep child’s attention far away from them. Regardless of danger of optical decreases, little ones prefer watching cartoons, sitcoms or other entertainment channels to outdoor movements. With this flow, children have obviously become TV-addicts at last.

Secondly, parents’ excessive envelopments possibly cause this conundrum. To prevent ambigous effects outside, such as natural dissaters, crimes or trivially even bullies from peers, some households trendily lead their offspring to fraternize with the broadcasts as a secure way. It can be possibly considered as parentings in most Asian countries where the rate of youngsters watching TV is usually higher by far than other continents.

As a solution, childcare communities should emphasize their role by holding more outdoor activities, for example kid sport prizes or simply wanderers with pets. By those ways, our procencies may goodly enhance their health and in part forget the attraction of television. Besides, with family sector, to shrink some excessive works and individual tasks, not only do parents concentrate more time to take their child outside but also cultivate consanguinity.

In sum, sprouts of country currently have obsessively addicted to television and the reponsibility to help them, negatively belong to every singer adult.
