ADVANTAGES FOR CHILDREN TO WATCH TV
PRINT
May 7, 2010 | By Ian Kenney
Photo Credit boy watching tv image by jedphoto from Fotolia.com The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television for children under two and very limited viewing of educational programming for older children. In the real world, parents often rely on television as kind of a de facto babysitter. It keeps kids occupied while Mom steals a moment to catch up on household finances, chores or other necessary tasks. However, the "TV rots your brain" canard may be overselling the negatives a bit as more and more parents recognize the positive aspects of TV viewing, particularly with so many quality choices available.
FAMILY TIME
Television provides a reason for families to spend time together. Parents can still limit viewing by designating specific hours or programs on a weekly schedule. Setting aside some of those hours specifically for family viewing encourages interaction, conversation and togetherness. Whether it becomes a bonding moment with young kids watching "Sesame Street" or endless discussions about the plot intricacies of "Lost" with your teens, television can be a catalyst for family interaction.

EXPOSURE
Educational television puts kids in touch with cultures from around the world in a way that's deeply engaging. Educational channels like Discovery, The History Channel and especially PBS can expose kids to people and places they wouldn't otherwise encounter in daily life. Even prime time scripted programming, when age appropriate, introduces concepts that are complex and intellectually stimulating. This can help shape a child's interest and make him more engaged in classes that deal with those specific topics.
INSPIRATION
There truly is something for everyone on the hundreds of available television channels, and for kids, watching TV in moderation can help develop interests and even inspire further reading on a topic. Parents should be engaged in their children's television viewing so they can be purveyors of further information. When a child sees something of interest or has questions about a particular topic, parents can use that as a springboard for deeper study.
ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
Watching television gives kids whose native language is not English exposure to the conversational rhythms of spoken English. Just like college students taking Spanish are encouraged to go home and watch Telemundo or Univision to develop an ear for the language, students who are learning English can benefit from watching English-language television.
SOCIAL SURROGACY
Researchers found that television has a social benefit for kids who have difficulty connecting with others, in a study published in the journal Science Daily and conducted at the University of Buffalo and Miami University of Ohio. Shira Gabriel, Ph.D., one of the study's authors, concludes that "Humans can use technologies, like television, to provide the experience of belonging when no real belongingness has been experienced." The study cautioned that kids withdrawing from family or friends to rely instead on "relationships" built with television characters is maladaptive, but for those with physical or psychological barriers that make social interaction difficult, television can offer some comfort.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF WATCHING TV.
Hi!, how are you?, I´m fine, ok.. Today I´m going to talk about some advantages and disadvantages of watch TV. I think is a very interesting topic for us, since television to play an important part in our life despite influence of the internet and other technologys of information. I think one of the most important disadvantages is wasting time, since some people to spend long hours watching tv programmes what are not useful for them, I like to watch tv, but I don´t spend much time in front of this, I spend one or two hours daily when I have time and when I feel bored and I want to see interesting things what happen around the world, but on the other hand I think people who spend long hours in front of the television could do another kind of activities in that time, for example they could practice any sport as for example to play volleyball or to play football, or they also could read books or going to the theatre, among other things, in the same way I think to watch tv is harmful to our eyesight, since our eyes get tired and after we have to wear glasses, I think also people become tv addicts, in the same way I think another disadvantage is when children to see violence acts on the television because it affect their phase of growing, they also try to imitate to the characters. On the other hand one of the most important advantages of watching tv is that we improve our knowledge, since for example when we watch news or when we watch scientific channels, we have the opportunity of to be well informed about what´s happening around the world, in my personal opinion when we watch news we learn new vocabulary, in this way we improve our cultural heritage. Another advantage is that we get entertainment, many competitions can be watched, I remember when I watched the Olympic Games, I felt really very excited and I could get a lot of fun. I also think with the help of tv it´s possible to learn foreign languages, another advantage is that we can select programmes what we want to see, but I think one important advantage is that we can provide our creativity, because for example when I watch tv I can imagine a lot of things and it help me when I do my homework, ok that´s all see you the next week.
Advantages / Disadvantages of Watching Television
Hope someone kind will read my essay and fix my grammatical errors. Nowadays, television has become the most popular media of human kind. It‟s also the indispensable device in our daily life. By watching TV , we can see many things happened in the surrounding us world , therefore it help us to catch and avoid being dropped back from the world of information. Everyone must agree that the advantages of watching TV are very considerable .But beside those benefits , there are some disadvantages that we must notice to be sure that we watch TV most effectively. Beginning from the first one, I must say that television is one of the most important invention in transforming information history . From very long ago, people had already known how to transform information in many different ways but only when the first television programme was broadcasted , a new age had begun , the age of image transformation. Television nowadays has been very popular, and almost every family have the access to it. By sitting ideally at home , watching TV , you can get a whole look all over the world. The appearance of television and television broadcasting enriches our entertainments . Many events and competition can be watched “live” and many exclusive movies are presented as well (although it‟s a bit late in comparison with seeing those movies in the cinema) , but all are legal and you‟re free to enjoy them. In addition, if you want to travel but do not have enough money, I suggest you can enjoy traveling in the TV (for example watching the discovery channel or national geography channel) , they‟re screened 24/24. Furthermore , the television deserve considered as the unlimited source of information . There are a lot of scientific channel which is suitable for all ages. Those are the fastest and cheapest way to improve your knowledge. Today, Television specializes into many channels , each channel satisfies the different audience‟s view such as news , sport, and film . So that, we do not have to be a passive viewer. By pressing several simple buttons , you can see your appropriate programme that fit your taste. Everything contains good side and bad side and television has no exception . Wasting time is one of the inherent disadvantage of watching TV. Let‟s imagine : if one day , one person spends a hour watching TV without gaining any useful information , then in one year he will waste 365 hours and in 10 year is 3605 hours. With that time , you can learn several language as well as finish some studying course. On the other hand , television programme are not always suitable for all ages.Sometimes , there are some movies contain sexual material and violence which affected the stormy phase of growing of children and teenagers and should not be watched ,even by some adults. It will be extremely dangerous if parents neglect their children to discover the TV programme themselves as they will immediately take influence of what they see . To rectify this situation , parents must supervise their children „s TV watching throughout their childhood and adolescence period. In the aspect of health , spending hours watching TV is harmful to your eyesight . Why don‟t play some sport and breathe the fresh air .When your eyes are tired , you „d better let them rest than continue to paste them in the screen. In my summary, I have reached a conclusion that nowadays, television is indispensable Although it will be replaced by computer someday, but TV‟s benefit to our life sill guarantee it as the most important device which people need , in order to be up-to-date.
THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF TELEVISION
In today modern world television is the most popular and recognized from of media and most homes in the western and developed worlds own one. That small (in some cases rather large) box sitting in your lounge is your connection to the outside world. It is an indispensable item and many of us cannot imagine life without it. As with everything there are advantages and disadvantages with the television. The main advantage is televisions ability to bring you news as it happens. A second advantage is the fact we are using more than one sense when viewing. The final advantage in this essay is the vast amount of information and documentaries available for viewing. However the first disadvantage is the amount of time spent watching television is often considered a waste of time. The second disadvantage is the fact that families may be in the same room but with the television on may not even acknowledge each other. The final disadvantage illustrated in this essay is that young children are often being exposed to sex scenes and scenes of violence. Firstly, for many of us the television is our first or only source of news and current events. Most channels have news updates up to four times a day and current affairs programmes which take a deeper look at the news that has affected the world that day or week. Theses programmes are often family friendly and are sometimes the only form of media available or easy to understand for children or non-speakers of English. These news shows keep people up to date on the outside world it is possible to know everything that happened in a day without even going outside. However these news shows can try and monopolize people's opinions and be a bias to one political party or one side of a war. Secondly, what many of us do not realise is that we use at least two senses to enjoy television. We use our eyes to watch the television screen and the visual on the screen. We also use our ears or hearing to listen to the dialogue and noises on the screen. Compared to other forms of media which usually involve only one sense e.g. the radio only requires the hearing sense and a book only requires sight. Even though the television lets us see and hear things it can cause eyesight problems and many people turn there televisions up which can cause hearing problems. The final advantage is the vast amount of educational programming available for viewing particularly on channels like the discovery channel and national geographic which can educate and stimulate people and wet every audience member's appetite. It is also the fastest way to improve your knowledge and help you learn something completely new. Where else can you learn about Marylyn Monroe and Winston Churchill in the same afternoon? Many people who cannot afford university or night courses or simply just want a basic knowledge of one particular subject or event. Use documentaries to quench their thirst for learning. The first disadvantage is that many people do not realise how much time they spend watching television if you spend one hour a day watching television. That is 365 hours a year and 3607 hours in ten years. You can only imagine what you could do with that time, it is possible to learn a language or do a university course. Many value their television shows over exercise or physical activity which can lead to obesity and 'couch potato'. Many people also feel the desire to watch a favourite television show every day or every week and neglect social commitments and therefore becoming anti-social.
A second disadvantage is that many people neglect their families so they can watch television. A family may be in the same room but would not say a word to each other or acknowledge each other. Many families now also eat dinner in front of the television which means normal dinner table conversation is lost. Most large families also have multiple televisions so that each member can watch the programme they would like to watch this means that some families may spend less than an hour in each others company before going to bed. A final disadvantage of watching television is the violence and sex scenes that young children are often exposed too. Many of us find shows with crime or violence entertaining but these are not suitable for children of young ages. These scenes are practically common on crime dramas. Children may not intentionally be being exposed but by simply being in or near the same room as an older child or adult watching the programme. With children being exposed to these scenes it can corrupt there innocent minds leading them in some extreme cases become violent to other children. It can also lead to more permanent problems such as violence or evil thoughts well into adulthood. Fortunately this can be easily avoided or reversed by not allowing young children to view these programmes by placing them in a different room from the television or sending them to bed. In conclusion television is perhaps the world's greatest invention though it is possible it will one day be replaced by something resembling a computer it is still indispensable in todays modern world. Television however has advantages and disadvantages as illustrated in this essay. It can be an educational, multi-sensory communication devise that takes up our time to exercise or our family time it can also have scenes that corrupt young minds. As Winston Churchill once said 'the best things are either immoral or bad for you' television is best in moderation. So next time you're bored don't turn on the television go out and play some sport.
THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF TELEVISION
Disadvantages Some of the disadvantages are : 1- A bad effects - on the kids - because they learn every bad thing shows on the TV. . 2- It be the first information source for a lot of people , and that make them away from the first really clean source THE BOOKS!

They lose their innocence and childish behaviour which is a boon to mankind. Innocence gives happiness. But the kids are not enjoying this happiness in the present world. Time limits and monitoring it for children are some ways of keeping control of what they learn. But also there are some adults as well that are boob tube watchers. 1. Because of watching TV, the must 'discussion of family every day' before going to bed may vanish. 2. Because of violent news, such as killings and bombings, we may lose our confidence to go outside. less exercise don't learn to talk don't learn to communicate Learn something you should learn - horrify movie : this kind of movie will teach people to do crazy stuff, but it is my favorite type of movie. - Sexual : i don't see it much on T.V - Not Healthy : watching TV , do nothing Things being blown out of proportion Things being distorted and perceived the way the networks want it to be Celebrities' private lives being intruded upon Trash programs that promote idiodicy-- "The Simple Life" is the ultimate front-runner for this, especially with that ugly, spoiled b*tch Paris Hilton Advantages: good mass-market coverage; low cost per exposure; combines sight, sound, and motion; appeals to the senses Disadvantages: high absolute costs; high clutter; fleeting exposure; less audience selectivity Advantages Chris Hall Television permits you to reach large numbers of people on a national or regional level in a short period of time Independent stations and cable offer new opportunities to pinpoint local audiences Television being an image-building and visual medium, it offers the ability to convey your message with sight, sound and motion Disadvantages
Message is temporary, and may require multiple exposure for the ad to rise above the clutter Ads on network affiliates are concentrated in local news broadcasts and station breaks Preferred ad times are often sold out far in advance Limited length of exposure, as most ads are only thirty seconds long or less, which limits the amount of information you can communicate Relatively expensive in terms of creative, production and airtime costs There are more disadvantages than advantages... but i love my tv cos it has good shows on it for entertainment! I'm not really concerned about the 'eyesight-damaging' aspect of TV. Advantages: *You can use the televion to watch many channels. You can see advertisements for many things. You can access the news, culture, weather, information, education programs, etc. Disadvantages: *You can see some harmful things or frightening/scary films - if you use it for a long time it may be dangerous to watch more. Chris Hall also some disadvantages is that:the children can become obese (really really fat) they can damage their eyesight and learn unnecessary things
