Nowadays television and the Internet have a greater influence on children's behaviour than their parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In modern society,

television

and the

Internet

have become accessible to everyone. It is often said that they have a great impact on

children

's behaviour compared to discipline from their

parents

. It is clear that

although

children

might be affected by TV

programmes

in both positive and negative manners,

parents

need to educate their

children

on how to behave as their responsibility. The

first

aspect to point out is that there is a wide range of

programmes

on

television

and the

Internet

which has a great influence on

children

.

For instance

, there are educational channels that the youth learn about history or how to cook.

This

has a positive aspect in terms of building up their knowledge and skills outside of the school.

On the other hand

, there are

also

some shows that have negative impacts on the young

such

as documentary

programmes

.

For example

, there are some

programmes

that focus on a person who is addicted to drugs. If the young watched

this

TV show, they might be interested in drugs which has a negative influence on their attitude.

However

, the onus is on

parents

to discipline their own

children

as they spend most of the time at home.

Although

television

and the

Internet

have positive aspects when it comes to educating the young,

parents

still need to supervise them and give them feedback in order to motivate them. If the youth had a curiosity about drugs,

parents

would be able to teach them

that is

unacceptable behaviour in society. To conclude,

television

and the

Internet

have a huge impact on shaping

children

's attitudes in both positive and negative manners.

Therefore

,

parents

may need to assist their

children

with which

programmes

they should watch. Adults are

also

responsible for educating the young on how to behave in modern society.
