How influential TV and movies can be?
Tv and movies are, basically, considered as the means of entertainment for everybody. In fact, they are extremely impactful on our day to day lives. They have the power to change someone’s perception towards a topic. They can guide us as well as can govern our behaviors if they are binge watched all day and all night. They can impact us either directly or indirectly, depending on the hours we spend watching them.
Indeed, watching TV and movies is beneficial, as it helps us relief our everyday stress in this chaotic world, moreover, it helps us release our happy chemicals from time to time,and it encourages people to learn about new things and stuff that’s going on around the world. However, depending completely on these means of entertainment can be detrimental.
Watching tv shows and movies for a long period of time can arouse criminal behavior among the viewers and can urge them to take evil and illegal steps. And as we lure ourselves into the realm of tv shows and movies, we forget about the surroundings and what’s benevolent for it. It can have a damaging effect on kids too, they get enticed by the characters and their body language that they start to imitate them and behave like one of them. Furthermore, it resists kids from going out and playing with their friends or doing some recreational activities that can help kids develop the power of deep thinking and analyzing.
For adults, it’s also a depressor that creates conundrum and gives rise to unethical doings. People get captivated by characters and try to mimic them, and they forget about their surroundings, thus, making them think everything they do is ethical.
Everything is okay if it’s done for a short period of time, but when done for a long period of time it can be harmful, and same is with watching tv shows and movies. They can have a profitable effect as well as a devastating effect if we let these means of entertainment govern us. Mediums are just for the support and pleasure, depending on it will degrade and dismantle our core as well as will adversely affect us. Technology is for our help, not something that can guide us.
