and personality, whether they watch alone or with adults, and whether their parents

talk with them about what they see on TV.

programming affects children and young people.

Watching TV is an experience shared by most adults and children.

It is cheap, appealing, and within the reach of the general public. In this way,

TV has become an important mass media around the world, but sadly this resource

isn't used in a way that people could get the best possible benefits from it.


The first reason why people shouldn't watch to much television is; because the

content of many TV programs is not educational. Nowadays, we can see movies,

series, and shows that present scenes of violence, sex, and drugs too.

This has established wrong concepts among the audience that influence them

in to having a negative behaviour.

Moreover, the impact of this tendency has on children is worse, because they grow

up with the idea of a world where problems can only be solved with money and

violence, and where wars are inevitable. An other reason that people shouldn't

watch TV is, because it makes people waste time that could be used in more

beneficial activities.

For example: exercise, reading, activities that are good for a healthy lifestyle.

In fact watching TV for long periods of time has negative effect over the intelectual

development of children and leads to deterioration of the mental capacity in older

people by causing both attention and memory problems in the long term.


In conclution, people shouldn't watch too much television, because the content of

many programs are not educational, it makes people waste time that can be used in

more beneficial activities.

However, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't avoid , but we should do it with

moderation TV is a resource that we can choose the right program for our own active

life and critical attitude towards it.
