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
.
