Reading is more educational than watching videos or TV. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
A pre-existing notion emphasises on the fact that reading is more educational as compared to watching videos or television. Whilst some people believe the opposite, I strongly opine towards the
first
point of view. This
essay will discuss both the aspects with relevant references in supporting the argument.
Nowadays, our human life is surrounded by a variety of electronic gadgets which also
influences the currently-prevailing academic system hence
, students tend to invest a greater amount of their time in the electronic media such
as recorded tutorials, pictorial representations and many more. Due to this
, students tend to lose interests in traditional forms of learning. As per the study conducted by Oxford University, kids who are inclined towards browsing books not only possess a wide vocabulary besides
, they are capable of comprehending an in-depth knowledge of the topic. Regarding educational reel-based films or documentaries, the focus is driven towards the highlights due to which, it eventually fails to measure the depth of story which makes me prone towards supporting book-based knowledge than any other form.
Furthermore
, reading comes in various formats for example
novels, journals, case studies, and many more. This
certainly does not demean other activities however
, in comparison with conventional book-based learning, including both academic and non-academic, it certainly does have an upper hand, as it gradually increases the concentration levels.
To conclude, I would like to emphasize that reading has always proven to be effective not only for an individual's brain development but also
, strengthens curiosity and as a result
, builds focus. Which is why I certainly believe that reading handbooks have a significant impact on a kid as compared to the other modes of education.Submitted by stripathi1992 on
