I think movies and television do affect our daily behavior,both for the better and for the worse. Nowadays,there are lots of violent acts on movies and television.It really provide a bad impact on people especially children.People may imitate what they've seen on television. But it's also good to people in some ways.It can give us a broader window to the world.We can get much information though television.And by watching movies or television,we can relax ourselves after we've spend the whole day in a boring class or work. What's your opinion about that?

I agree you that tv and movies has a effect on our behaviour. When I am feeling depressed, I just watch a funny movie to boost my mood. It's true that most of the movies or Tv shows are violent but some are very informative. I enjoy watching discovery and national geographic. I learn a lot from them. But I think it all comes down to the person who is watching the film.

Hey friends, Ofcourse movies and television have strong impact on the minds especially on children and adolescents.The affect can be good or bad.It depends on the choice of what we see. There really some nice movies and television shows which are very informative.They boost up our knowledge levels. These kind of shows can change our lives.But there are also shows which are obscene and cmpletely change children and will have very bad effect. Parents should keep vigil on the kind shows which their children are watching. BYE!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you. I like South Korean tvplays very much, and the actress and actors are the role models in my life. They can encourage me to work hard and enjoy the pleasure in life.However our children spend too much time watching TV,it's not good for them, they may easily became couch potato. Some may not be willing to use their mind .

definately, they influence people's behaviors especially children's a lot. Nowadays, lots of people tend to mimic some superstar's behaviors including their way to speak, hair style, hobby! So, some good movies really deserve out attentions. The bad Tv shows, on the other hand, should be avoided

i agree that movies or television influence our behavior, because the contents on this medium are very strong influence to our behavior either the bad behavior or good behavior, but as a human being that in good condition,we must take the good thing rather the bad thing from this medium.

I think, not only in movie/television, where ever it is, the bad thing easily shows influence in our life as it was very simple to follow. When it comes to good things, They don't show that much influence as it was hard to achieve.

Yeh,everything has its two sides .Since televisions brought us something useful,they make us broaden our horizon,know more about the outside world while it also gave us many negative effect .We often think of doing things that is not possible in the realism,that can just only existe on Tv . What's more,it seems to have a more effect on the children who can immitate quickly .Once,I am watching TV with my five -year old cousin,when the actress has a naupathia,he said to me:"look,sister,she will have a baby!LOL

I think movies and television to influence our behavior, especially the behavior of children. When my kids were interested in wrestling shows, all they wanted to do was wrestle in one form or another. Many other examples of this in my kids, but for my own behavior, I most often will find myself quoting a line from a movie or TV show in conversations.

I think that we like to blame a lot of things on movies and television. Yes there is a lot of violence, but the problem is our kids aren't told the difference between reality and television. We have a lot of problems, but for the most part, I don't think our movies and television deserve all the blame that they get.

I think that to some extent that it can influence childrens behavior. But there is no way that it should be like that with adults. I personally think though that any form of news is the worst, whether it is newspaper or news on T.V. There is so much violence in the world that kids will learn it from everywhere. I mean do you know what your kids talk about at school? You can shelter your kids from the shows but someone else's child has seen those shows and is more than willing to tell your child all about it. I am careful in what my kids watch to some extent. I do not promote violence so I try to stay away from those kinds of movies or shows.

Ya surely every shows will leave some influence on us that is why the Television Shows are created.. Television or Movies's main intention only to attract or to impress the audience. So in the way of impressing it will definitely affect our character too ...The immature people usually are affected more... Its a parents main duty to regulate the childrens to watch the Television shows as well as Movies(Oh my god how you people are giving descriptive responses..... ?Typing such big response is so tortured....Any way i typed some what..)
