Many people, especially young children, watch too much television. Some experts think that this can be dangerous, and that the time would be better spent doing other thing. What are the advantages and disadvantages of watching television?
Nowadays, many types of
media
are involved in daily life. For example
, television
, Netflix, and YouTube. Some argue that media
can detrimentally impact young children
, while others argue the opposite. This
essay will examine both sides of the advantages and disadvantages of media
.
To begin
with, watching media
in young children
has several benefits. Some television
programs offer free lessons which teach children
how to calculate math. Moreover
, children
can learn language skills rather than reading a book. For example
, some cartoons on Netflix offer exciting plots that encourage young children
to watch and provide grammar lessons in the program. In addition
, a study published by a Japanese author revealed that young children
, at the age above five years old, who watch various media
program tends to be more creative than other children
.
On the other hand
, watching media
with young children
has some drawbacks. Some television
programs offer violent scenes that can cause children
to become more aggressive. For example
, wrestling shows contain much violence, encouraging children
to grow up with racism and crime. Furthermore
, research published by a psychological doctor in Thailand revealed that young children
, aged between 1 to 3 years old, who sit in front of a television
or tablet are associated with higher rates of autism. This
study analyzed 100 children
whose families left them alone with a television
or a tablet. About 90 per cent of children
have autism.

programs appear today. Family is the first
wall of protection for their children
, and parental advisory while children
watch media
is the most important, as well as time management of children
