Television Effect





There are three main negative effects of television. Firstly, television has variety of unsuitable programs, for example: action films, which effect children’s behavior because they will imitate the character of the program even if it’s dangerous. Romantic Films are also unsuitable programs because it affects our culture and religion and in addition we obtain western values. Another unsuitable program is horror films because it effects children by giving them nightmares. Secondly, television effect people’s health. For example: many people sit longer watching television which that effects their eyes and maybe they will lose their eyesight, and become overweight. Time is the third effect on people if they watch television. For example if people like to sit more time watching  television they will not have good time management  skills to do all their work like visiting their relatives, study home work, etc.


There are many ways to solve the television problem. Firstly, parents must set the timetable for watching programs and allow their children to finish work and watch T.V. Secondly, we should make lectures to show people the risks of television. But the importantly responsibility is with the government. Also, if they can put on some programs that are beneficial for the people and increases their culture for example: health programs, social programs, sport programs… etc. Provide some means of modern communication that is an alternative to television.

  1. Interesting thoughts Amna. Do you think that people should choose the programs, or the government should monitor TV programs? Sometimes I am surprised at the shows on UAE television stations because they seem inappropriate for this culture. But if the government chose the shows, would the people still be free? I don't know the answer, do you?
