Television, is a destroyer enough?

Television, as described by the wikipedia online dictionary, is a widely used telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound over a distance. Television is not an important thing that people must have actually, but as the technology advance, it has become a necessity in life. Most of people are need television for many reasons, yet the other side television has give affect to the society life. Personally, I agree with the opinion that says television is dangerous because it destroys family life and any sense of community; instead of visiting people or talking with our family we just watch television.
Firstly, television ruins the living of the family. When the television was first introduced, television was thought to bring the family closer together, by bringing the entire family member together in one room. In those days, most families had only one television. Nowadays, there is a television in almost every room of the house. Television has reduced the time spent with family. The family rituals, such as meals, bed time, and holidays, have been changed to television programs.
However, recent studies have suggested that some television programs might improve learning. Television can broaden the people’s horizon and enhance the people’s knowledge about the latest event in the world.
Nevertheless, other studies have proved that television has an effect on people as an individual and as a community, like violent behavior and obesity. Television often promotes violent acts as a fun and effective way to get what you want without consequences. The American psychological association reveals that children’s television programming alone contains about 20 violent acts an hour. The television violence can cause children to behave more aggressively. Besides the violence, television viewing can also contribute the obesity problem. People who watch too much television don’t get as much physical activity and tend to eat the unhealthy food during watching the television.
In conclusion, television has brought down the family life because of the family rituals that change to the television programs. Television also brings the new problems, such as violent behavior and obesity, to the community living.
