Some people believe that what children watch on television influences their behaviour. Others say that amount of time spent watching television influences their behaviour. Discuss both views and give own opinion (Reported in 2017)
It is believed by some that what
youngsters
watch on TV
influences their attitude but others reckon that the amount
of time
spent watching TV
is influencing them. In my opinion, both sides have positives and negatives, but the amount
of time
they spend watching something matters the most. In this
essay, both views and the reason for my opinion will be discussed.
To begin
with, some people think that what children
watch on television is what influences their offspring. For instance
, when kids
watch violent movies, they tend to mimic the things they saw and as a result
, it can have an immense impact on their attitude. However
, it is a well-known fact that children
learn from events that happen over and over again. In other words
, they need to see a behaviour constantly so they could mimic it. Thus
, it seems like the subject of what youngsters
see is not as influential as some might think.
On the other hand
, others say that if children
watch telly for a long time
, then
their attitudes start to change. To illustrate this
, recent studies have shown that if offsprings watch the same traits on TV
over and over again, then
they start to mimic them. Moreover
, scholars believe that when kids
keep seeing the same attitude, the structure of their neural network will start to change. This
shows that changes in youngsters
' attitudes need time
. Therefore
, the amount
of time
that kids
spend watching television is more important and it has more effects on kids
' behaviour.
To conclude, some reckon that what children
watch can change their behaviour and others think that the amount
of time
spent watching television is influencing them. In my view, kids
need to see the same traits over and over again to be able to copy them, so the amount
of time
spent watching TV
is more influential. Given the current circumstances, it is recommended to observe the programs that youngsters
watch.Submitted by tsp10majidi on
