The Pros and Cons of Television

     If we turn off all the televisions in the world; there would be positive and negative reaction on our children of today. Most kids would be lost without a PS3, EBOX 360 or any other video games.These games have so much control over our children, it's pathetic,.I think of all the parents who bow down to their children because of the kids addiction of fantasy. A survey was taken and the survey revealed ninety seven percent of kids in the world play video games; honestly, I think there would be a terrible reaction of rebellion but in all in all, In this situation, I am for unplugging the tv.

     We have the kids that are lazy as well as the parents therefore most of there time is laying around the house eating unhealthy foods that has a major effect on their lives;basically they live a sedentary lifestyle driving health care higher. These kids need to get out of the house to enjoy activities involving exercises and other sports activities. The problem with this is that most of our community centers are closed due to lack of leadership,.When I was a kid growing up, there were plenty of recreational centers therefore if you are not living in a community with a higher tax bracket, the kids are pushed aside to crime and other negativity.This practice of sedentary life falls solely on the parents.

     I would like to think of all the learning programs on television teaching our youth academically or life skills.These programs helps kids learn to read, solve math problems,history, and other education skills required to succeed in life. There are channels for teenagers to learn about life coping situations and showing them how to be responsible for their actions. Then we have a 12 year old kid by the name of Tommy who loves baseball every since he was five years old and that's what he wanted to do with his life.It is baseball season when the television is unplugged now he can not look at his heroes play the game. Many sports players and and other great careers were seen on television and having planted seeds into the mind of our children. These children often grows up and  pursued their dreams of what they seen as a child therefore being very successful. 

     I believe firmly that our children deserve to have all the tools in life to be educated in every aspect of life with morals,dignity and healthy but on the other hand I also believe television can be a distraction for some children; solely the lack of responsibility falls on the parents because they are the are the weakest link.
