The negative influence of TV

Television is piece of electrical equipment with a screen on which you can watch picture or sound
The TV is the largest source of news and information for us, it is the main way that we come to learn things, sometimes, the information we receive isn’t always a good thing though. We can misinterpret something we see and it can in turn produce highly negative effect. For most families television is a part of our life, it is important to evaluate the television experience carefully, especially in terms of the effect it has on young children
Television: it entertains, it is educational, it opens the world to learning about new cultures that children, in their normal lives, may not have a chance to be exposed to. While there are many positive things about TV, there also many negative influences as well –issues that we as parent, brother or sister do not want to be exposed to at such a tender age
Too much television not only reduces the time spent on concrete learning activities, it can reduce their capacity to learn…………..
Young children are naturally curious busy and active, which allows them opportunities to learn about the world around them. Movement is the key to their development, as it allows them to develop their muscles and through endless repetitions, they learn skills. At the same time .the child is learning about their social environment by interaction with other people and seeing the reactions to their behavior from the people around them
Television is a passive experience, TV doesn’t allow the child to respond and interact either to improve their communication skills …………….
TV can be a media which encourage “lazy learning” (passively sitting in front of television when there is nothing else to do). Watching many hours of TV decreases the amount of physical activity a child takes part in. children less time outdoors playing and interacting socially, children not only need information about the world they need movement, they need interact with other people around them.
Television violence……………………..
Television violence is one of issues which is appear from the negative influence of TV. Because children younger than 8 cannot tell the differences between fantasy and reality. Viewing violence can lead to aggressive behavior. seeing their heroes on TV use violence to solve a problem teaches children to use the same violent skills to solve their problems. The big difference is, children fail to learn about real world consequences when their only experience comes from TV.
Risk taking behavior is also common and growing among children who spend long hours watching the television ……..
Many programs viewing the use of alcohol, either during the shows or during commercial time. it is lead children if they drink, they too can have as much as fun as the characters.
There also concern for the teenage audience that watches music videos, these videos often depict a combination of sexual against women and careless use of drugs, sympathy towards victim may be damage when the videos are watched, and studies show that teenagers view programming with sexual content, they are more likely to engage it
Television fantasy…………….
Many of people on the shows look exactly the same way, with perfect life, perfect clothes, and perfect body. This is mostly presents in many of the shows in the television. A few of the shows include: pigeon contest, Laguna beach, Indonesian model. In the shows everyone has the “perfect” body-thin, muscular, and pretty ,if the teenager see it they want to ”fit in” they see these shows and feel need to imitate the characters and their life style. This sometimes means to trying to “fix” their body so they can look exactly the same. it can make children and teenager depression –anger¬-anxiety because the reality is so far from “perfect”
All of which can lead to eating disorder and kind of violence
 Anorexia nervosa –generally starts between 12-18 years of age, and its characterized by restrictive food intake, weight loss and excessive exercise
 Bulimia nervosa (binge/purge syndrome)typically develops between 16-20 years of age
 Both disorder are common in society and can result in death if not treated
 It can make teenager do at any price to get what they want such as steal money from their parent, friend to support their perfect life

An educational- television
TV has the potential to be informative and educative to young children. They get information about science, news, history, documentary ,language etc just through television. But the question is…………how many programs viewing information about that? Just a few program viewing educational programs maybe just one program in every station TV ,it is to small than others program which give an educational things like infotainment, drama which is not appropriate if watched by children, or advertisement which mix advertise with sex and violence the frequency of infotainment, drama, advertisement is too much than educational program. “infotainment program” the infotainment teach children to be person who care too much about private life of someone that is not necessary to know by children and frequency that programs is too much from morning until morning infotainment is never die to “brainwash” our children

Addict of TV
Television can be addict like drugs and alcohol if they watch drama like Cassandra or marimba they seems like apart of them so if missed one episode we fell lost of it and it possible to make anger or anxiety if missed that program it also can disturb their activities they hurry to do their activities just for watching that program which is really not necessary to watch that program



So what should we do as parent/brother or sister/government????????????????




Parents must be more selective to monitor which programs is good for children or bad for children.
Parent must accompany children watching tv because many things that children do not know about the meaning exactly and as parent we have to help them to understand the difference with fantasy and reality based on tv
Starts to make them understand by making dialogue or discuss family about morality takes place based on tv have shown ,this is important because only when parents are watching with their children can conversation takes place. studies have shown which is good example and bad example from that tv
Give them more time to interact with their social environtmet by going outside and interactive toys, it is better, than spend much time sitting in front of TV
Parents have to spend more time to playing and interact with their children
Government has to arrange the time which is appropriate for children or for adult
Government has to censor which program is quite polite for children or not
