AE2 Writing-summery Homework

AE2 Writing-summery Homework

In the article “New Views on Video Violence’’ by Dorothy and Jerome Singer, they state TV, which plays a negative role, has more influence than stories on children. The authors think that not only do TV shows have scary images that can affect the children, but children spend a lot of time watching TV as well. On the other hand, children usually can read books or stories until they are old enough to make distinctions between reality and fantasy. What’s more, when parents help their children read the story when they are very little, the parents will modify the story to make it less scary. In fact, the best advantage that we can control the pacing by ourselves to imagine the characters when we are studying. In conclusion, TV has more negative effects than stories. I agree with the author that TV plays a negative role in the children’s life.
First, there are fewer and fewer beneficial programs that appear on TV. Most TV programs such as news, serial dramas, and talkative programs are not suitable for children to watch. Moreover, these not beneficial programs all appear on prime time. For example, the news which appears on TV after dinner always seems to include the new about murderers who killed men, to sound exciting to children.
Second, because TV has too much exciting plots will attract the child to watch causing many children to be addicted on TV. On the other hand, because of many classmates always discuss about TV programs’ plots during the daytime, therefore children all are very afraid that they will not be able to keep up with the popular TV shows and they will keep watching TV in the nighttime. What’s more, they will not do homework and read books.
Third, in these days, most parents do not often accompany their children to watch TV. Moreover, their parents will not know what programs they watch everyday. Hence, they will lose the chances to help their children to choose the benefit TV programs. Moreover, they will not know what information their children received, causing ‘’generation gap’’ between parents and children.
In conclusion, I think the reason that TV plays a negative role in the children’s life is result from fewer and fewer benefit TV programs appears on TV during the prime time. Another reason, too many exciting TV plots will also play negative role in children. Additionally, most parents do not often accompany their children to watch TV, causing TV to have negative influences on children.
