Television, for
decades have been an important part of our life. It is a great way to share
news and awareness about society, economic and political issues amongst many others.
Nowadays, there are niche TV channels for all age groups - educational channels
makes information fun and easy to remember for children, TV series such as
Friends or Game of thrones is favourite pastime amongst youth and sports and
news channels for adults. Television is definitely a great medium of learning
and entertainment but is stealing away family time.
The educational
and interactive channels are a great medium to learn for children but more than
often they prefer watching their favourite cartoon. In addition, children
prefer watching TV over playing in the park with their friends. This has not
only affected their health but also has made them socially averse. Not only
children, but this has affected adults as well - most couples and families spend
their evenings and weekends watching television which in turn has increased
insecurity in relationships.
Certainly, I am
not against watching television, but it should be in consideration and time
limit. Doing anything too much does more harm than good and so is the case with
watching TV. Furthermore, we should monitor what we or children are watching as
it has strong impacts on an individual’s behaviour and thinking patterns.
