The Impact of Television Viewing for the Children

            Television is something that can amuse the people. All people can choose one of entertainments that they are interesting in, because the aim of entertainment is to make people can refresh their exhaustion from their business. Mostly, all people like watching television because it is one of the famous and common daily routines of all time. They can get any kinds of information from it but it is not only for the adult or engineer but also the children. They must keep what program they watch in order to protect themselves from the side effects. Although all people can be easy to get any kinds of information and entertainments from the positive effect, they also must be careful about the negative effect of it especially on the children.

            The first, TV programs can develop their think when they are viewing TV. The program that good for the children must be choosen by the parents because the parents must give limit to them to wacth at home when the children spend thier time. But, according to some people that TV programs reduce the quality of real life.  In particular, side effect of television is that it affects the development of thinking process especially to children. This is because, the viewing of unsuitable programs for long periods can influence their idea of life and behavior as pictured by the television programs (Sharif 1999). This is bad things to children because it can influence the children’s attitude, idea and belief because sometime also the children interest to imitate what the television showing.

            The secondly, TV sometimes influence children’s behavior whether it is education or entertaiment because children can imitate what things that is good for them. According to Matthews and Ellis (1985) there is strong link between TV violence and children aggresive behavior of television program included violence. Usually, this violence showing in cartoonts film that contain the significant of violence scenes. It make the children be agrresive because they learn from what they watched and television has unsuitable program to the children and it has contribution to children’s knowledge of general behavior (Sharif 1999)..

The Third, the children can get any kinds of information but the parents must give them more attention. Besides it, we know that there are many negative effect of television viewing make the children difficult  to concentrate on their activiy as like when they work less on their homework and exercise. They lose sleep because of TV and they cannot manage time to their stduy because in their brain just thinking about television and also the program of it.

Lastly, Usually when the pople have free time wacth television, because it is one of the intertaiment but viewing TV also influence healthy because it is unhealthy lifestyle. Moreover, communication among family members will also be difficult when some families eat their meals while watching television to spent time in front of television, it can influence their which can cause obesity and related diseases (Rutherford 2002). So, it distrubs the people’s body.

As a conclusion, watching television has many side effects that is negative and positive effect. We have to be avoided. These side effects cause the development thinking process, a time-wasting activity and unhealthy lifestyle. So, we should be avoided the effect of the television and manage time while we wacth it. Therefore, I believe that television has more negative effect and positive effect for our life.
