In recent years, television has contributed most to changing people’s quality of life. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, Individuals discuss ways to improve the
quality
of life
. Some say that TV
has affected somehow the quality
in the lives of frequent spectators
. I believe that TV
impacts people
’s lives negatively as they spend more time than necessary and this
could be used to enjoy their family or friends. However
, if watching TV
makes people
feel secure, this
is better for them.
People
spent too much time in front of the TV
. Since spectators
watch too much television it is hard to balance other activities
with their family members or friends. Also
, watching TV
does not contribute to people
’s health as the action of sitting on a comfortable couch does not make these individuals keep in shape. This
would probably lead them to a sedentary life
as well as face overweight. Therefore
, these spectators
will not find on TV
related-activities
such
as watching movies, streaming videos or playing video-games a good quality
of life
as these activities
will deteriorate their health conditions.
On the other hand
, people
can get safer while watching TV
at home
. Outdoor activities
or even gyms can be less safe in some cases for people
. That is
to say, spectators
who live in dangerous cities would probably face more violence while out of their homes. As an example, living in a dangerous city like Rio de Janeiro would probably offer more safety for those who just stay at home
watching TV
in comparison with others doing other social activities
in their communities. This
is because of the high number of crimes that happen in these areas. Thus
, staying at home
playing video-games would give people
more quality
of life
since insecurity and fear of going out would decrease their well-being.
To conclude, only watching TV
does not give people
a better quality
of life
because of the sedentarism regarding this
activity. However
, well-being could be improved if people
who live in dangerous areas feel safer while at home
just watching TV
