| Is
television a new bull in the china shop shattering
many of our traditional values and beliefs?
|
| "Television
is a vast wasteland" said Newton minnow. |
| The
arrival of such a medium creates potential fear
and threats in the minds of people. Many people
are worried about the harmful influence of television
in future generation. An overdose of violence corrupts
the minds of young children. |
| Continuous
viewing of television weakens the eyesight of children.
Students get no time to do homework. Children also
neglect their studies due to their interest in television.
Besides not doing homework they nurture the habit
of telling lies. Children often watch scary programmes,
which do not allow them sleep. The same skeletons,
bones and ghosts haunts them. |
| It
has been seen that children who watch television
are ease- loving, rather couch potatoes. Many serials
that children watch are far away from the reality
of life. As a result when they grow up they find
that life is not a bed full of roses, that real
life is full of difficulties and problems. When
they find themselves unable to cope with the situation
they become frustrated. |
| Violence
in most movies corrupts children adversely. Commercial
advertisements create a habit of superfluous consumption.
Late night movies keep people awake disturbing the
peaceful rhythm of life. |
|
Exposure
to violence, commercialism, consumerism will only
contaminate the minds and morals of people. Do
you really need to be are convinced that television
is an idiot box, rather a vast wasteland??
