time they spent with their family’s .Children also get hooked to TV programs. Viewer options can
determine the effect of television either its can be advantage or disadvantage. Some people believe that
watching TV have negative effects on viewer and others believe that television has more positive
aspects so what are the positive effects of watching TV? And what are the negative effects of watching
TV?

Frist and foremost, watching TV for a long time can affect the thinking process, especially for children
because when children watch TV without observation it’s can influence their behavior and attitudes,
even though small ideas that children get from TV can change their characters. According to the
scientist, they found that watching TV for long periods can change the anatomical structure of a child’s
brain and lowest the abilities as a result people who watching too much television can lead to reducing
their attention and learning. Television gives no instructive advantages to children’s, and can in truth be
hurtful. For children this age, TV really may low their improvement since it fills time that they may have
spent doing different exercises, ones that really help them learn.

Besides that, the second negative effect of watching TV is waste of time because it makes people less
focus on the other thing like spend time with family or by doing some activities such as homework or
practice your hobbies .According to some researchers, the average hours per day the spent doing
productive activities are less than that spent sitting in front of TV, instead of watching TV people could
do many benefit activities. In addition, the student who watches TV more than 4 hours per day have low
academic achievements.

Television makes people more materialistic because TV is one of the main sources of advertising. many
objects benign advertising on TV these ads make people buy the thing that they do not need a majority
of people do not realize that most of the things that advertising on TV it is not important in our life
.Therefore , watching TV advertising can lead to waste your money on thing that you do not need.

On the other hand, another possible effect of watching TV is its lead to an unhealthy lifestyle. For
example, when people viewing a lot TV, they became lazier and also they do not do exercise that body
need, for this reason, people became overweight. Since many people like to eat while they watching TV.
Moreover, there are also psychological effects on health, its make people no satisfied about their life
and this is very important point. Because it’s the reason why many people stop working or looking after
themselves.

Another effect that on children, unfortunately, children’s programs on TV have negative effects its make
them live in another world. For instance, my 5 years brother always act dangerous movement after he
watched cartoon programs, Therefore in this age children behave on what they see on TV. In addition,
many cartoon programs show violent that effect on children creativity and learning the process. Leaving
children without observation can lead to series issues. Studies show that when children watch TV, they
see some violence which makes them less sympathetic especially for children under 9 years of age
because they can not separate between reality and fantasy this could lead to long-term effects on
Children. For example, they may become more aggressive and fewer creatives.
Some people will argue that television can help them to be less desolate. Psychologists Said’s that how
TV can fill the absent friends and family. Many people fell less desolate during watching their favorite
show. The scientist also believes that lonely people became more able to communicate with TV shows.
In this busy, hard life TV is an easy way to entertainment. By being aware of the world around us and
informed about international news.

Another reason, television is the free source to get information, there are many programs that help
people to improve. Some television channels like “National Geographic” and “BBC Discovery” that
people can learn a lot from them by motivating people to follow their dreams and discover the world.
Television can be also a positive way to learn or develop a new language. For example, my aunt
improved her English language by listening to English news daily. Therefore television can be an
effective way to learn the language because watching and listening at the same time is a good way to
improve the learning process.

While TV supposed to be entertainment. It is also a field that improves the communication through
sharing information and exchange of experiences, by providing many different jobs in this industry TV
plays the important part in teaching us our role in society. Some positive sense in TV can encourage
people to do the thing in the right way. Family holding, TV makes for an incredible family holding it a
permits family to watch a show together and share an incredible time together. For one thing, by sitting
in front of TV it can entertain people when they get upsetting after doing their daily activities after being
working or learning people back home exhausted. So they require something to revive our energy by
relaxing some comedy programs, which can make people laugh and forget life struggled.

In conclusion, watching TV has many negative and positive side effects. This side has to be avoided
because of its affect the development of thinking process, a time-wasting activity , a wasting of money
and leads to an unhealthy lifestyle, and its reduce children learning process also they became more
aggressive. All these effects are blamed directory to television and these effects should be avoided so
that we can enjoy our life by having a healthier lifestyle without wasting our valuable time sitting in front
TV. Therefore, I strong believe that watching television brings more passive effects than affirmative
effects to us.
