Society tells the people that television is destructive; excessive watching of a screen destroys brain cells and may even shorten lives. However, there has been scientific evidence that shows watching TV is actually beneficial for and can maybe even increase the viewer’s intellectual capacities. Two authors, Carolyn Ziel and Steven Johnson, explore this idea in their essays, “Why Watching
Argument: For Jeff Jacoby, writer of “A Desensitized Society Drenched in Sleaze,” violent entertainment indirectly causes real life violence. He states that even with his highly religious and disciplined background he was “jaded” from exposure to violent TV. he thinks that if he can be desensitized, then anyone can be desensitized. With that thought, Jacoby may have a valid point. If exposed to violent TV for an extended amount of time, it may be able to desensitize anyone, especially if they come from an already broken home or bad neighborhood.

Stevens Villalon 10/22/2013 EN 101 - Composition 1 Prof. Della Fera “Defense of food” Eating processing food is killing us slowly without our permission. Everyone needs to eat something every day. So, they can be fine all day. If someone does not eat anything at all, it can affect their health slowly. For instance, losing energy, feeling sick, might faint.
I hope my message does the same to you. There is never anything good on TV today: just a large portion of reruns for the appetizer, a large portion of pointless and puzzling programs for your entrée and a mixture of both for dessert. Even if you don't watch it, it's unhealthier for you than the top of the food pyramid. It makes you fatter, lazier and unhealthier by killing one brain cell at a time. The fall of television can best
He does that just because he gets amused by observing how the audiences choose a place to sit along with their bad behaviors the movie. Finally, he states that he should inform the readers about these behaviors before they find themselves “succumbing in these annoying traits” (182). First, Dermody advises the readers to leave their kids at home. For movies that are not really made for kids, it is better that they stay at home. It can set a “day-care center atmosphere” when there are too many kids inside the theater (182).
Finally, illegal substances are supported, such as marijuana and cocaine, through comedic gestures. The criteria used for social humour in these sitcoms are politically incorrect and are unacceptable forms of humour. Most of the audience that watches “rude TV”, such as Family Guy and American Dad, are at too young of an age to be responsible and mature enough to watch the shows. A lot of them will get influenced negatively; they will be convinced to learn the ill manners and shamelessness supported in the shows, because they are thought to be humorous, the coarse language is taken lightly as well teaching the audience to use it as well to be humorous. The Parents Television Council released a list of the 20 most popular shows among kids from ages 2-17.
Television addiction is ignored because watching television every night is completely ordinary in families today. Since parents are tired from working and taking care of the household business, they fail to play any active games with their children, or sit down to listen to their spouses’ concerns. Instead, parents decide for themselves and their children to be inactive by sitting in front of television. The writer states that staring at the screens of the television sets is an uncontrolled routine, “when there is “nothing much on I really like,” they watch whatever else is on because
That’s why I think it’s so strange you’re a fireman. It just doesn’t seem right for you, somehow” (Bradbury 23-4; pt. 1). The society seems to be so absorbed by meaningless amusement that they rely on it like an addictive drug. Too much mindless entertainment is very relevant it today’s world.
For example, the environment typically features structural factors such as impractical transit systems, towns and cities dependent on the car; desk jobs and non-physical recreation such as TV watching, video-gaming, and web-surfing; and a savvy food industry that has hooked the public on a great deal of unhealthy food items. Sitting around and not doing any physical activity really increases the chance for someone to develop type II diabetes. Many scientists and researchers believe that beta cell dysfunction is another key cause for diabetes. Beta cell dysfunction is when the beta cells in your body stop working like they should to help produce a sufficient amount of insulin. As well as abnormal glucose production, this is when the liver stores too much sugar and distributes it to the body when it is not needed.
