Tv Impact

Television is the media that influences us the most, especially children.
In this days people watch TV more than ever, some of them to escape from their lifes and relax a little bit. It is proved that most people don’t turn the TV to watch a specific program, they simply decide to watch television and then they find something interesting to see.

There are cases that people are addicted to TV and because of that they become to change their behaviour. They don’t go out with their friends and don’t do sports so all of this will affect their health and turn them to a sedentary lifestyle.

TV programs more than ever have violence and sexual content and that influences children. Kids are the group that is more affected by TV because they don’t know to separate fiction from reality.

But the impact of TV on children has many factors like how much they watch, their age (younger kids are more affected), their personality (kids with problems and with aggressive behaviours can be more influence than the others) and wherever they watch alone or with their parents.

There are three things that TV has that influences and affect kids: violence, sexual content and commercials. The first one is most likely on cartoons where violence is shown as fun. So cartoons, movies, TV shows there shows this kind of behaviour, will increase their aggressive behaviour. The second one will affect them in the way that the sexual content that is shown is not the most correct and then children will think that is usually and the right thing to do, so parents have to be careful and talk with them about that. Finally commercials, as we can all see, occupy a lot of the TV programming with the breaks of the shows. They are dangerous in the way that they pass a lot of commercials of junk food and almost none of healthy food, this will affect children increasing their obesity.
So now more than ever we have to be careful with TV and don’t let us be influence by that.
