Some people believe that what children watch on television influences their behaviour. Others say that amount of time spent watching television influences their behavior. Discuss both views and give own opinion.

In

this

day and age, the advancement of technology has brought significant changes to the lives of individuals. For many people, the content shown on television has a massive impact on

children

's actions. For others, they believe that the amount of time spent in front of the telly is the reason for the change in their conduct. In

this

essay, we shall discuss both sides of

this

coin. On one hand, natives argue that the content they watch is directly affecting the

children

's behaviour. With the constant streaming of advertisements,

children

get coaxed into wanting things that they don't even need.

Furthermore

, these advertisements do not talk about the drawback of their products, so the

children

are not aware of the same, and

instead

bother their parents for them. Another reason why

children

feel that they must have these articles is because of peer pressure.

For example

, the constant bombardment of adverts in relation to McDonald's foods, makes

children

get addicted to the concept of

this

food. Alternately, the long durations at which they watch the box, are

also

a cause for concern. The continuous motion of flashing lights is a fast motion, can be irritable to the eyes and damage the eyesight of a child. Prolonged exposure to television can

also

result in them becoming highly dependable on the tube, thereby causing a disconnect with parents and friends. In conclusion, I feel that both the amount of time, and the content which a child watches on the television both influence their characters, but in a negative way.
