The television was an amazing invention of human being in the 20th century. It has changed the way people live on both positive and negative sides. Therefore, in the contemporary world, many parents worried about the negative side of TV on their children, especially on their children’s creativity development and tend to avoid owning it. While it is undoubtedly true that television has adverse impacts on children’s creativity, I believe that it also creates a chance for children to develop their creativity in some ways.
Some people say that TV plays a negative role on children’s creativity development due to the fact is that there are numerous programs containing violent action, crime or ruthless behaviour like films, music and even news. For example, there are many adventurous as well as committing law in the most famous film named “Too Fast, Too Serious”. Actually, this film is not bad, but because it is not suitable with children and Tv cannot control children to not watch it. As a result, the children fall into misconception about how is a cool person and copy those actions in the film out real life. Therefore, Television could not only suppress children’s creativity, but also let them develop in the wrong way.
Conversely, supporters of television believe that although there are some bad programs on tv, this cannot negate that many programs assist children to enlarge their scope of knowledge such a scientific discovery, adventure or geography. Children can be informed about the latest innovations which can give them some ideas to develop their world or improve current innovations. Moreover, they can enlarge their scope of knowledge through adventure or geography. They could enjoy the beauty of other nations along with learning the cultures, customs or languages from there. Thus, children’s creativity could be completely hone with supporting from television programs.
To conclude, there are not any things perfect and television is no exceptions. Hence, from my perspective, I think that watching television is a main culprit restricting children’s creative, so parents should not ban their children watching Tv. And I believe that the best way to prevent negative effects of tv on children is that use available tools like children clog on tv to block unsuitable programs.
