Children’s Watching TV
Do
you ever think before about the causes of youth’s degradation? In this globalization, it is too easy for
children to find and watch TV yet it is difficult for them to get the moral
values. From the fact above, it can stated that children watching TV is one of
the causes of youth’s degradation. Children watching TV give effects in some
aspects. Those aspects are: health,education, sociocultural, and economic.First,TV can easily attract children by
its movies or even advertisements. The probability when children feel interesting
at TVis thedecreasing ofbed time. For example, children who are affected by TV
programs have two hours more for watching than children who are not so that
they have 2 hours more for taking rest either at noon or night. In addition,
too much watching is dangerous for their eyes. Second, almost of TV programs contain many movies and
advertisements those are not educated at all such as cartoon and other kinds of
movie. Almost of children just can say “I like the movies” without being aware
of effects they get. Consequently, children prefer watching to study. When
children have become accustomed to watching and listening, it will be difficult
for them to read and write due to limited time of having exercises whereas,
writing and reading are much important for them. Third,TV effects children’s sociocultural life. It is a well-known
fact that nowadays TV programs contain of harassment and violence exactly in
cartoon movies. For example, the actors will fight when they want to approach a
same girl. Due to the fact that children often cannot filter TV’s content, it
will be so possible for them to act like what they watched.Likewise, children
often imitate western’s culture from both national and international TV programs
such as dancing and cloths so that they have more knowledge about western’s
culture rather than Indonesia’s culture.
Fourth,TV is a best place to
advertise any kind of products such as kitchen and office equipment, vehicles,
foods, and toys. From those advertisements, children will be easy to know the
latest product. Just such as what it often happens, children always want to own
anything new especially new toys. As a result, they will bag more money or even
just force parents to buy it for them so that parents will spend money as much
as the new thing advertised. It goes without saying that TV programs give more
harm than good so that parents are obligated to filter home television programs
in order to omit their youth degradation.
