Is Television Good or Bad

Answer 1

Television has its good side. It can be both entertaining and educational and can open up a new world for kids, giving them a chance to travel the globe, learn about different cultures, and gain exposure to ideas they may never encounter in their own community. Shows with a pro-social message can have a positive effect on kids' behavior. Programs with positive role models can influence viewers to make positive lifestyle changes. TV shows can inspire kids to try new activities and engage in "unplugged" learning. When kids see their favorite characters engaged in fun learning games, they want to play too. Kids also like learning activities more if they involve beloved characters. Preschoolers' shows are especially effective for generating ideas for learning activities and using characters to motivate kids. If children watch good educational programs on TV they can learn many new things very easily. They can learn about places they have never been to and animals they have never seen and they could learn about new scientific discoveries. TV can be a great medium for educational purposes. Preschoolers can learn the alphabets, colors and numbers from television. Children can get information on wildlife and expand their knowledge with quiz contests and others games on TV. With television, children can keep a track of the latest happenings and the current events. Television comes across as an excellent form of entertainment for kids, in the form of Cartoons and kids programs. Some TV shows can educate, inform and inspire. It can be more effective than books or audiotapes in teaching your kid about processes like how a plant grows or how to bake a cake.
Studies show that kids who watch educational and non-violent children's shows do better on reading and math tests than those who do not watch these programs. Kids who watch informative and educational shows as preschoolers tend to watch more informative and educational shows when they get older. They use TV effectively as a complement to school learning. Preschoolers who viewed educational programs tend to have higher grades, are less aggressive and value their studies more when they reach high school, according to a long-term study. There are many programs on television that are useful such as news programs or documentaries. Television provides a way to see what's going on around the country and the world.
