Television is the most popular form of entertainment in any

household. But I think Television tends to have a tremendous
influence on its viewers.
Firstly, based on the recent research, people of all ages use this
medium to entertain themselves for an average of five hours a
day. Of course, constant exposure of TV will influence the
viewers thinking and attitude. This can be seen from the fact
that many criminals are inspired from the scene on TV.
Secondly, people can be affected by constant watching
television. This is due to the fact that they less in physical
activities, spend less time reading and working and see a work
of violence that can affect their own feelings of security.
Finally, comercial advertisement on TV can be a brain washing.
Psychologically, constant show of advertisement will shape
ones image about one product. No wonder people are easier
to remember the motto or slogan of one advertisement than to
retrieve information that they have learned.
In short, TV will be a kind of monster can conquer ones mind
and attitude.
