Most
people
spend the majority of their free
time
watching
television
and
this
can cause laziness and self-isolation among
people
. I agree with
this
initiative because sitting in front of the
television
for a long
time
makes
people
lose interest in outdoor activities and have a tendency to separate themselves from society.
Individuals who use most of their leisure
time
to stick their eyes to the screen would turn themselves into couch potatoes.
This
is because when lying on the bed or on the sofa, turning on the
television
to watch their favourite film or TV show,
people
might find it a lot more comfortable than engaging in other activities
such
as doing sports or doing house chores. The consequence of
this
behaviour is that humans become lazier than ever, refusing to do anything but enjoy themselves and immersing in whatever channel they like on
television
.
For example
, in Vietnam, it's recorded that nearly 80% of children watch TV for the majority of their
time
and only a small minority proportion of them do sports including running and swimming for a couple of hours a day.
Another drawback of watching
television
for long hours is that humans will become less likely to participate in conversations with other
people
and hang out with their friends. With today's fast-paced life, human beings find it more and more difficult to have
time
for themselves so they prefer to spend their valuable private moments on advanced technology like TV.
Therefore
, they no longer have
time
to date out with their bosom fellows or even their family since they are either too tired to go out with others or they are so addicted to the digital screen that they don't want to be disturbed by anyone at all, which results in their unwillingness to socialise with the society.
For instance
, in China, 60% of the population admitted that they didn't have many friends since they didn't go out as usual
as Change preposition
show examples
before.
Instead
, they find it a lot more pleasant to lie at home and watch
television
to relax after a hard-working day.
In conclusion, the existence of
television
has taken up a large amount of
people
's leisure
time
which not only leads to laziness in the community but
also
reduces the social connection among human beings.
