Trang 1How do movies or TV affect people?
Ever since movies and television appear in our lives, they gained great popularity Nowadays, movies and television have become a major means of relaxation Along with their prevalence is the
influence they have on people`s behavior, not only negative but also positive effects
First of all, movies and television make people less active
Watching films is a passive activity Thus, if we watch too much,
we would lose our imagination and we become mentally unhealthy Then mental laziness becomes physical laziness: we would like to watch sports on TV than to the participant; we would like to chat with somebody on Internet than to socialize with neighbors; we would like to stay in bed on sunny weekend that to go out for a
walk
Beside, movies and television make people violent The more
violent programs we watch, the less sensitive we become
Eventually, we no longer regard violent behaviors wrong; indeed,
we even commit violence acts ourselves The affect of violence on children is more conspicuous, which could be justified by the high criminal rate of youth As a consequence, more and more people are
on their way to urge government to ban violent programs
Of course, movies and television do have same positive effects on people behavior By giving us a broad window of the world, they play an essential role in broad our horizon Nowadays, there are countless film and TV series concerning each field in science, social science and humanity These instructive films and programs open door to us, providing us a sea of information If there were no such films and programs, we would not have gained knowledge of
custom of other nations, we would not have accepted the concept of planned economy and we would not have learned up-to-date
technologies
Another advantage that movies and television bring us is that they relax us After a long day at study or work, I need a break
Watching a film, I could forget all trouble of the day After a film, I feel I get ready to go back to my studies
Trang 2All in all, the influence of movies and television is profound and essential We should realize that while they bring us
disadvantages, they provide us more and more advantages
