Television does more harm than good


Today 98% of American households have a TV set and the same is true of most "developed" countries. Indeed, many homes have more than one set. Television is taken for granted, treated as an innocent "part of the furniture" but, in fact, it does more harm than good.

Content,
1. TV viewing is essentially a passive activity that discourages critical thinking ?
2. Indeed, most viewers (esp. children) watch television indiscriminately ?
3. Research suggests that TV can slow down young children speech development ?
4. A link between literacy problems and frequent TV viewing ?

In conclusion, TV viewing
。 Accelerates the process of "Coca-colonisation";
。 Destroys the art of conversation and a healthy, optimistic view of life;
。 And turns people into unthinking, illiterate "couch potatoes".
。 Just as a drug addict must kick their habit in order to avoid an early death, so the world must switch off its TVs if it wishes to produce active, intelligent citizens!
。 Although television is enjoyable, long hours without activity can contribute to obesity and diseases such as diabetes, and is a risk for both adults and children.
。 Experts advise being more active every day and eating healthily.
