I do think so,because violence is the key subject matter of today’s television shows and movies. Many children try to imitate characters on television,they may get a false impression as to what the world is really like. watching television excessively may have an adverse affect on children’s health. Many children tend to be inactive and have snacks in between main meals while watching television, which could result in obesity and other serious health problems. what do u think so?

Wow! What an observation! I must apreciate about the details which are very accurate and true and universally applies to every child on the Globe! You are absolutely right! The kids they don't have fair idea about the life and wity the changing times they are spending their maximun time either inside the class Room or inside the house tahn getting exposure to the natural outside world! Todays kid grows up along with the TV ones he is born. This has become an indispensible part of his life and he treats TV as his best friend and starts trusting it ! Thus anything shown on the TV is a Gospels Truth for him/her! Thus it is very natural for him to get carried away by the thingsshown on the TV may it be voilance or vulgarity! It definitely makes an strong impression on his brain! Constant watching of the TV not only spoiling the vision of many kids at very young age but it is having effect at mental level to! Their body hormones are always full with adrenalin as they are constantly watching the things with voilence , action and spoeed and this hormone in turn making difference in their temperament! They are forgetting what is emotion and what are the true relationships and bonds between parents and child, between kins etc. Over eating while while watching the TV to keep themselves busy together with the lack of physical exercise making them prone to get more fat and obese which is one of the biggest killer of todays youth and others as this is responsible for causing many types of serious diseases ! Kids are wasting a lot of their precious time on TV which they could have utilised to study and having some creative hobby or could have spent in participatinmg in Sports or games to keep themselves fit! I am very much with you and strogly feel that the children watvching the TV are definitely wasting theitr useful time and are inviting troubles for themselves! Thanks for inititating such a thought provoking discussion!
