| IELTS ESSAY Children are learning things by watching TV and movies |
The advent of the modern means
of communications has grossly influenced perceptions of the society and
the most visibly impacted youngsters who are getting over exposure to television and motion pictures. However, this raises a great concern among people about the possible
benefits and negative impact of the personality of juveniles.
There are noticeable negative
effects of this new medium as children get addicted to T.V. and films and their
personality is affected by various kinds of programs and films being released
and relayed nowadays. Additionally, Most of the information that is relayed and depicted in
movies and on television programs is generally unsuitable for tender minds and young
ones pick up all unnecessary inputs which has a deviating impact on the
personality of kids.
Besides picking up unnecessary
and extra load of unsuitable inputs, young ones sometimes try to emulate what
they see in various channels and films, often jeopardizing their health and
safety to a great extent. For example, cigarette smoking sequences in movies and serials
often lure yong individuals and they are vulnerable to picking up habit of smoking.
On the contrary, this audio
visual media has bought in numerous benefits for children as television lays at
their disposal a huge source of useful information connected to education and other
subjects that can prove to be really handy for them in their life. Television brings
some really informative programs connected to school curriculum and general
knowledge which helps children in expanding their knowledge about the world and
around.
In conclusion, I feel that
television content and movies affords humongous benefits and these exceed drawbacks even though people must be cautious about the time spent by their offspring in the fornt of this device.
