Effect of Television on Society
Television has become a part of our daily lives and repeated exposure can lead to various positive as well as negative impacts among people.
Some studies indicate that moderate TV viewing can stimulate a persons education and creativity. Television has become a useful source of information for both the literate and the illiterate. Farmers in the rural areas can view the effective methods of farming, weather forecast and raise the agriculture production of the country. One can gain important information on stock markets, investment queries and news. Besides, it is the most popular source of entertainment.
But still one cannot deny the harmful effects of television. Today, television has taken the place of other interactive experiences such as outdoor games and other physical activities. Moreover, it has been blamed over the decades for almost everything- be it obesity, weak eyesight, violence or even murder. Thus, a limit needs to be set on its viewing.
