BLOG 10 (ARGUMENT)"Children's Television Time"

             



                    Most parents I know worry about how much television their children are watching, but I see very little being done about actually cutting down their children's television time. The average child watches three to four hours of television a day and another two and a half hours more on the television watching movies or playing video games, for a total of six and a half hours of television a day, a little more than half of our children have a television in their bedrooms and three quarters of children eat their dinner in front of the television.
                 All of this television is taking time away from our children's lives, which could be replaced with more crucial and beneficial activities such as reading, exercising  and playing with friends. Instead, Our children are seeing the wrong messages from the programs they are watching, including, sex, violence, drugs, racism, war, bad language and even suicide. That sometimes carry into their everyday lives. Our children are seeing all these adult images before they should.
                  In the world today, it can be said that watching television is also like watching violence. Violence already cannot be prevented on television programs that is why watching television is bad for children because it causes aggressiveness, trauma and desensitization. Television can have positive effects on children but a bigger chance of having negative effects. Television can negatively affect children’s performance in school, lifestyle, career, family and even their future. Would you want that to happen? Think about it.



BLOG 9 (DIVISION-CLASSIFICATION)"3 categories TV programs"




                Formerly, TV now is still the most popular tool to transmit information worldwide. Yet, the reason TV always attracts viewers after such a long time since then is due to its diverse programs. Therefore, TV programs can be classified into 3 categories according to its contents, and three categories can account for positive aspects of TV.

                 Entertainment is the most favorite for many people. Initially, music channels rather attract people of all ages because music always sends listeners to another world in which they can find truly peaceful moments in life . Another kind of entertainment program is movie. Today, people can enjoy watching all day with so many kind of films such as action films, cartoon, ghost films, romantic films, etc. Obviously, I don't need going somewhere else to seek relaxation, but are able to stay at home and enjoy their free time. Generally, entertainment programs always dominates the others because simply they all help viewers relax after a hard day working.

                 Not as exciting as entertainment, but news always makes up largely viewers on earth. In fact, news provides people with lots of latest information; for instance, politics, economics, society, culture,which all impact on human's lives. On the other hand, news allows people to catch up with changes of the world or prices on market so that people probably response. Beside, weather broadcasting is an important program providing latest information about weather condition for which lives, it contains limited viewers because not all people like watching news, particularly children.

                Advertising is a major part when I talk about TV. Obviously, I had all interrupted by various advertisements when I am watching. Today, advertising programs appear greatly on all channels, and they bright producers a huge number of profits. Therefore, I have no way to avoid advertisements but to watch them.

                In conclusion, the contents of TV programs above play an important role in my lives. Yet, these programs should help if I know to choose proper contents that develop our thinking.

BLOG 8 (DEFINITION) "Smart TV."

                 Television is important tool for many things, but no is good when we watch for longer hours that screen, in fact children tend to do that every day they spend at least 3 hours watching television, this is so bad and is very worrying. Something negatives effects of television are the follows:

-Spend too many hours watching is not healthy, that time we use it for other things such as exercise.

-Television has programs with subliminal messages, that the most times are bad and hurt us, because these subliminal messages can be ideas that go against one, and is a medium where one inadvertently persuades us.
