HOW DOES TV AFFECT PEOPLE’S BEHAVIOUR?

Nowadays television has become a common communications receiver in every house. According to The Kaiser Family Foundation (2004) American children and adolescents spend 22 to 28 hours per week viewing television, more than any other activity except sleeping. By the age of 70 they will have spent 7 to 10 years of their lives watching television. Some television programs might be educational, informative, fun and relaxing but equally they can be a “ vast wasteland”. Spending most of the time in front of television can turn people off from natural life and become anti social or even obesity. Research published in the June 2007 issue of the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine shows that young children are exposed to "a substantial amount of food advertising through TV" and around 80% of it is composed of unhealthy sweets, snacks, cereal, beverages and fast food. The effect of TV advertising on eating habits is just one example of the negative influence. In this essay, I would like to consider previous research carried out on how television can influence people’s mind and can be dangerous somehow. Also give people understanding how Television distorts reality and changes meanings because we instinctively believe the images on TV. And as human we suppose to live in reality rather than a fantasy world.
