How do movies or television influence people’s behaviors?

In recent century, the invention of television and the boom of the film industry have an enormous effect on many perspectives of human life. In the early stage of this development, the television and the movies have positively developed the society, but in twenty century, the television and movies have a bad effect on human’s behaviors.

First of all, although the millennium children are more intelligent than their precedence, they are also more aggressive and hard to manage their emotions. These behaviors result from the increase in the number of violent movies, and the ease to access to these movies. Moreover, a popular violent movie may also trigger a children-toy industry, and this industry will aggravate the children behaviors. It is easy to see that the children play as star war characters, using the light saber to fight, and end up to have a real fight with their friends.

Secondly, the television nowadays generate a ton of interesting programs, attracting many adults to pay attention to them. The television producers try to indulge people to spend a great deal of time to their program in order to increase the profit from advertisement. The more people spend time to watch television, the less they want to go for outdoor activities. Therefore, adults gradually become lazy, hard to control the moods and easy to involve in several psychological ailments. In my country, the rate of psychological ailments increase over time, many scientist have warned people to spend less time on television, hoping that the people will know how to maintain their health.

Third, because of the competition, the television producers invest more to improve the content of the channel. This also means that the availability of the inappropriate channel for children will increase significantly. If you turn on a television, it is not too hard to find a sexual channel or several channels that broadcast the bloody movies. These channels are controlled by a password or a firewall, which are easily to be broke through with basic computer skills. Because children are more curious about the things banned from them, they will try to access to these channels, hence badly affect children’s behaviors.

In sum, despite of the positive reputation in the past, television and movies nowadays have a negative effects on human behaviors. They not only misdirect behaviors of the children but also lead adults to the lazy life style, causing people involve not only mental ailments but also physical ills. Therefore, I would recommend to increase control on the availability of the television and the content of the program.
