Whether or not to allow the children to watch TV has become a controversial issue. While some individuals are of the opinion that it adversely affects our young generation, others believe that watching television is beneficial for them in the foreseeable future. This essay intends to delve into both sides of the argument in depth. I, however, think that a balanced approach should be adopted.
To begin with, the advocates of the statement claim that if children are allowed to spend hours in front of the idiot box, then it will bring detrimental results for them in the later years of life. Since in the modern world, crime movies and violent scenes have become common in the media, and youngsters imitate whatever they see, and they do not realise that there is nothing real, which deviates them in the wrong direction. To cite an example, in my city Kaithal, a 13-year old boy killed his school principal just because she scolded him, and he said that he got an inspiration from a television show. Thus they are right in thinking that watching of TVs is negatively impacting the growth of the children
On the other hand, the opponents opine that it will bring various benefits for young children in the near future despite its adverse impacts. This is probably due to the fact because these days tremendous educational channels are contributing a lot to the improvement of grades of students, which in turn, results in making them skilled persons having wide range of knowledge. For example, discovery and national geographic channels telecast interesting facts regarding the nature and wildlife, which is broadening their horizons, and such extensive knowledge helps in getting a well paid job at adulthood. To recapitulate, confrontation to television shows is advantageous in getting an excellent job in the later years of life.
To conclude, undeniably, people are divided on the topic of watching excess TV. This essay discussed the contrary views of the society, but I think with a careful supervision of parents, we can reap out the benefits of this great invention of technology.
