Family Impacts

Essay #2 Draft

Now that we are in a new era television has improved a lot. Since i remember we did not have all the media and all the new technology that we have right now. We did have a lot improvement with our ways of communicating with others but not a s much as right now. Not just Television but also there is being a huge change in computers. But television can be more destructive in families than computers. Television can have many family impacts that can be harmful, not just in children but also in adults.For example, TV shows violence,drugs, aggressive behavior,etc. Children can get affected mentally by watching TV. I do think that television is a plug-in drug because while watching a show you can get addicted of watching it every day and even stay in the sofa or bed for the whole day watching different shows. I also think that by watching too much TV it can interfere with family lives and it can also keep the families away from interacting together as a whole.

In the essay of Marie Winn it also talks about how families are being influenced by Television and how children are being affected with physical activities. I do agree that children should watch less television or none.By watching TV children are not engaging in the activities they need for their bodies to be more healthy. Kids are not developing brain and body activities that they need because in a way it is their parents responsibility to not let them watch TV. Sometimes parents let children do whatever they want instead of playing with them sports, learning games and other active learning activities that are going to help them explore more skills that they need in life. I also think that watching Television is a waste of time for everyone. At the same time families are being separated from family activities physically and mentally and that could stop families from interacting together because without family communication the family could also fall apart as not being the same one as before.
