Over the next few weeks, we are going to look at lot of different materials
about the role of television programs and television watching in people's lives. But first, I want to know what you think about this topic. So here is a question for the class discussion board: What do you think is the most significant effect that watching television has on people? Why do you think television has this effect?

I know that one way that television influences people's behavior is that when you are watching television, you are not moving around or exercising. This is especially true for children. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that when children spend a lot of time watching television they have a greater tendency to be overweight.

I think the main effect that television has on people is to broaden their experience. There are so many programs devoted to nature and travel. Think of all the different places in the world you can experience through television! Last night I watched a program about life in Antarctica and it was fascinating!

  • From my perspective, watching TV programs extensively can significantly impact social interactions. Spending too much time in front of the television may lead to a decrease in face-to-face communication and family bonding time, potentially fostering isolation and diminishing social skills. This shift away from direct interpersonal interactions can affect individuals' ability to connect with others, navigate social situations, and develop meaningful relationships. The reduction in active engagement and conversation within family units and peer groups due to excessive TV viewing underscores the need for a balanced approach to media consumption to preserve and enhance social connections and competencies.

     

    While television provides a window to the world, it offers a superficial understanding of places and cultures. The experience of watching a program about Antarctica, for example, lacks the sensory and emotional depth of actually being there. The cold air, the texture of the snow, and the sound of the environment are all missing in a televised experience.
