Ohh TV, what would we do without you? die, thats what. TV's have become such an important thing in life, we cannot just get rid of it that easily. It has a tremendous effect on society nowadays, and the impact just keeps increasing by the day. Ha, now, most houses have a TV in every single room; that's how bad we cant live without them.
Ofcourse TV's are a great thing; it attracts every kinds of people out there. Are you political and care about what is going on in the world? Yup, theres CNN and NBC and all those live news shows for that. Like cartoons and children shows? Theres Disney Channel and Cartoon Network for that. Like shows about animals and nature? Theres National Geographic for that. Theres also scientific, historical, and geographical shows anyone could ever want. It is definately a great way for entertainment. As great as all those postivie things sounds, TV does indeed have a negative side.
Reality shows, reality shows, reality shows. That's pretty much all I have to say. Reality shows are what causing an immense change in teenage behavior nowadays. Teenage kids tend to reinact what they see on tv, from foul language to violenece behavior. They think that acting this way is "cool". There are also other inappopriate shows for teenage kids that dont always have restrictions on them, so watching them would be easy for them to do without parents knowing. Teenagers revolve around TV's, and if things stay the same as they are now, let's just say no good will come out of it.
