How movies or TV affect people? For decades, television had played a very important role in our life It had changed our living and entertaining way in a great way, and I believe that it had also influenced our behavior, both for the better and for the worse Firstly, movies and television make us more violent We are being accustomed the violent scenes on the movies where there are brutal and icy faces with killing machines in their hands We are also forgetting that killing someone is permanent, because the actors that were killed in a film can come back for another movie And finally, have you ever imagined that you were Arnold Schwarzenegger in the “Terminator” when you watch that film? Secondly, movies and television are making us less active We think that movies and television contain everything so we not have to go out to chat or play games with our friends Staying in and watching television for a long time can seriously damage us, both mentally and physically Watching movies is passive We receive everything that the director gives to us Some of them may be good, some may be bad but the most important thing is we will lose our imaginary ability And we may act like the actors on the movie On the contrary, we cannot oppose that television has good influence to us There are good movies that can make us change our prejudices of something like “racial dividing” Even education programs can help us behave more graciously and wisely Moreover, by watching movies, we can temporarily escape from our problems and that will help you reduce your stress Anyway, television and movies have their strong influence to our behavior Whether the influence is good or bad depends on how long we watch them, what we watch and how we respond to them because everything is advantageous in a way and disadvantageous in another
