De-Merits of watching TV: The demerits of watching TV relate mostly to children. 1) first of all & the most dangerous aspect of watching TV continuously is that it could damage eyesight Especially among children. 2) children when the happen to watch adult scenes in movies or serials could adversely affect the normal frame of Mind of Children. 3) Children become prone to obesity,when they go on watching non-stop channels showing such matters. 4)children are supposed to play after they are back from Schools.but nowadays what they really do is something new. As soon as they reach home,they throw their heavy bag on their back into a corner of the hall they enter & settle down in front of the TV set without even bothering to think about the food they need back from school. The TV set is always on in the hall. The children meddle with the channels & change them according to their choice& go on watching. The result. Neither they go out to play nor they eat properly .both these are essential for their Grouth of Body,mind & brain.The parents also do not bother to correct them because they think that so long as they do not cry & disturb them it is fine with them. This is a policy adopted by the Parents like the saying " let the sleeping dog lie down" The effect: neither the child cares about himself nor the parent care to correct him. 5)when the children are allowed to watch too much of TV they have a tendency to turn out into addicts. Children have their own heroes like Big Ben 10,batman,Spiderman ,Phantom,Tarzan,Chota Bheem & many more characters Of Indian & western origin.they adore them.There are children who dream their heroes while sleeping suddenly jump out of the dreams that grip them & shout in the middle of Night the names of their heroes. They even try to immitatate them . These are signs of addiction& not good for their Grouth & education Vacations for children: ************************ The vacations are the break from school which is a big relief & time for enjoyment for children. This is also a good time for Channel organizers.They plan & adopt new programs suitable for children with a view To attracting their attention. The poor children most of them fall pray to these kind os publicity techniques .the Channels do it to better their Revenue at the most appropriate time. The children ,generally ,those who do not go to visit places of tourist importance or their relatives are the mostly affected in this regard. They fall for channels much to the relief of their parents also because the children won't disturb them frequently & beyond limits with new demands. But they forget that what the do to their children are not favors to either them or for themselves because the children unknowingly become prone to watching TV instead of going out & play. The Parents feel much relieved because of the nuisance the children create with Cricket& football if they are not Allowed the watching of their favorite pastime of involving with their heroes. There are some parents who are proud of their kids younger than 2 years old recite the names of some particular serials & the names of Characters in it together with the names of the artists who do it.the Mothers are the Specialized category in this regard.HOWEVER STUDIES CONDUCTED ON THE KIDS BELOW 2 years of Age prohibits watching TV ROGRAMMES BY SUCH KIDS. There are many other factors affecting the kids nowadays.COMPUTER,CELLPHONES,INTERNET& VIDEO GAMES ARE SOME OF THEM. A stage has come now that the children ,why not only children, but their parents too, started thinking that without the above 4 ingredients Life of their kids are no longer life.Lest they forget that spending their entire time On the abovementiones attractions prevent their children from thinking on their own. Every child has creative mind & individuality in their thinking pattern.but just because they are engaged with their her ores on internet or TV Their own calibre is lost without their knowing it.Neither their parents think on thee lines because most of the parents of Affluent families know they could mould their kids with their money power to get them placed in good Position.But in most of such cases their service to the field they work looses it's charm. Yet another harmful effect of children following their heroes on TV or INTERNET is that they even try to imitate the adventurous sequences they view. This in many cases results in accidents.Sometimes even fatal. In regard to grown up children also the effect of Media like TV,SOCIAL NETWORK SITES ON INTERNET & many a features on mobile phones take major part of their time There are many grown up children especially girls go on thinking even while they sleep ,what is the next comment they should post on Face Bookto beat the comments already posted by their girlfriends& Boy friends. The silent approval from parents for these kind of activities results in lack of competitive spirit to appear in Examinations for professional courses available for them on merit basis. But they know if Merit is lost their parents could compensate the loss with the power of money. The result.The Quality of work they do when they get employment in later stage of their carrier becomes much much below the standard expected from the position they work. But then who is bothered? So it is time now for school going children to get themselves engaged in more important fields of their talent , Where their efforts could flourish. But in an environment where the mothers of children themselves boast that they can not survive without watching a Particular serial on a particular time ,although they could even skip food ,how the children could mould themselves by getting relieved from the strong Grip of Internet& TV.?
