They also made it to were children networks don’t have many commercials and air mostly education programs so that children are learning instead of killing the cells they could be building. Addressing the violence on television they once adopted the Television violence act which expired in 1993 say that broadcasting networks had to limit the violence in their programs. They also made it possible to block programs by passing an act called the Telecommunication act making television manufactures make a special chip to let parents block things that were not appropriate in parents’ opinions for children to watch. Different censorings are the aspect of blocking the television shows and channels you would prefer not to watch. The more violent acts that individuals see on television the more death and crime rates go up in the United States.
In this essay I will be talking about how children are affected by television. Although many parents these days do not want their children to watch television, there are a lot of educational shows available today. Many parents may not want their children to watch modern television, and I would have to tell those parents that there are some shows out there these days that are very educational and they are aimed towards the young. Watching the educational cartoons can be very helpful for a child’s mind. There can be positive results emotionally, physically, and psychologically.
Since kids are also watch tv, parents have more concerns of the way there kids think about violence they see, read or hear. Also the media violence can affect people in many ways.Some people start having serious fears of them being victims in real life. However, there are researchers that say they have discovered that when they show violence on television it shows children to be not be so sensitive to pain and suffering of other people. Crime drama has become one of the most popular TV genres in our society, taking up almost 20% of prime time. People like these dramas because they deal with themes and issues that they know from news and current events.Also important as the themes and issues that the dramas deal with are the things the characters care about and the way they act.
Diet of television is the answer. I think parents should not replace a baby sitter for the TV, or even replace them selves for the TV. I know a lot of parents who prefer to sleep 30 minutes alone, and all they do is send their children to watch TV or play violent video games, they totally forget about the damage it is causing to them, and when they grow up parents complaint why their children are so violent with them and everybody else. I think the idea of built-in time-channel lock circuitry is awesome. Imagine a kid solving a puzzle -which will help to develop his brain- instead of watching TV; also this kind of activities will keep him safe from violence.
18 April 2012 Influences of Television on Family Life Warnings of drug and alcohol addiction are seen almost everywhere such as on newspapers, in schools, and in public places. Moreover, those issues were discussed frequently to find out many methods to prevent teenagers from drug and alcohol abuse. Nevertheless, many people ignore another addiction that has no less negative effects as drug or alcohol addiction do. Although negative effects of too much television watching are ambiguous to be paid attention, Marie Winn, the writer of “Television: The Plug-In Drug,” is one of a few people who discovers the addictive behavior that has many disadvantages. In the essay, while television used to be a mean to enhance quality of family life in the past, advent of television, nowadays, is considered an important reason dwindling family life.
In addition, this sort of disrespect and violence towards women is unfortunately seen on TV, making it accessible for children and teenagers of today to be exposed to this sort of violence. This can affect the behavior of a child who is used to learning from what they see on TV as well as grow up with the idea that this sort of treatment towards women is normal. Rivers says, “American teenagers have instant access, in their living rooms, to the messages of rock, on the same vehicle that brought them ‘Sesame Street’. Who can blame them if they believe that the images they see
“Most adults, has some concerns for their children watching those shows. They had a thought that they might influence their kids to do some bad things in life because of the violence in the shows”(Feinstein 2). But that was not the only thing that they might have thought would influence their kids, “comedians were now on television too, and it was big for them because they could say stuff they could not say on the radio” (Adam 2). That did not top their daughters and sons from watching television; it is not like they could watch it all the time. Plus, there were only a few
Through the use of television, many different audiences can be reached, and news and other information can be transmitted to them. Television impacts the way we view our society and culture, it is able to teach us about what is going on in the world around us, or can be simply a form of entertainment. The media is the primary cause of violence today; it is responsible for many violent outcomes that have happened and leads to children having harmful lifelong consequences. Some people do not believe the media influences violence. According to Richard Rhodes in his essay “Hollow Claims about Fantasy Violence,” he argues that there is no link between exposure to media violence and the development of violent behavior.
Censorship in television really relies on the person whom is watching either TV or a movie. But in most cases there is an underage kid who cannot watch certain things that should be censored and not all channels and movies are censored. Programs shown over television may contain offensive language or visuals, which may be harmful for the viewers like children. I believe that all programs on television should be censored by the government or a responsible group or even
It would be hard for me to recall the difference from that day in age and comparing it to today’s age. What I can do though as a parent now is explain the negatives of today’s media and when I say media I mean television. Television today is filled with negative messages crude humor and sexual content. In today’s society it is very hard to go a sitting of television without seeing some kind of message regarding sex or violence. Even a cartoon like SpongeBob Square pants can have a negative effect on children, and later in the paper I’ll support it with some research.
