TV İS DOUBLE EDGED SWORD

     Television gives ways to decreasing of communication between family members and it affects negatively children. I think that television is certainly affects social life and children negatively. However, this does not mean we should remove television from our life totally because television has positive effects on our life.

      Firstly, television affects the communication of family members negatively. When family members watch television, they do not converse with each other and share their emotions and thoughts. In addition to these effects, television affects people, especially children negatively in terms of psychological and physical condition. To begin with when children see wars, violence of fictional shows, they may have psychological problems. For example, children who watched a cartoon called ‘ Pokemon ’, were influenced so greatly that the child who assured himself  ‘Pokemon’, jumped from seventh storey. This example shows that some of these programs are seriously problem for people. Moreover, most of the people who work during  day and have a few hour to spend with their family, usually eat meal and spend time by watching television. Consequently, this condition causes to lack of communication between family members. After a while, emotion of loneliness covers these people and they have psychological problems. Secondly, television affects people physically. People, who come from work to house, usually watch television after meal and this condition causes to problems like obesity. We see really negative effects of television when we think seriously.

       However, I disagree with thoughts a out necessity of removing television from life. Most people think that people should realize damages of television and learn to live without television. I think if people use TV carefully, they can avoid if from negative effects of it. I believe that television is really useful although it has negative effects. Firstly, people can watch the news and obtain information about the whole world. For instance, if TV were removed from life, how would we learn about tsunami in Indonesia. It is seen that TV is important information source for people. Secondly, television has educative programs in addition to unnecessary programs. To illustrate, children can find programs which give good messages about school etc. while they have children enjoy. Moreover, TV is an important enjoyment source for people. Firstly, it has enjoyable competition programs. These show that TV does not have only fictional shows. Secondly, people can apply to TV when they get bored and can not find what to do. Consequently, TV has negative and positive effects on our life.

         To sum up, I believe that if people can restrict time of watching and they can select useful programs, they do not need to remove TV from our life. It is necessary technologic device for people if people learn using of it effectively.
