Some British families decide not to buy televisions because they influence the development of the creativity of children. What do you think?
With the rapid development of science and technology, television, an innovation of the 20th century, is becoming more popular in modern societies. Due to that, some parents worry about how televisions influence their children’s creativity. I personally believe that the effects are not as negative as exaggerated.
Firstly, television is one of the most powerful tools to inform people the latest news and events occurring all over the world. People are kept updated with the most recent scientific breakthroughs, the status of some researches, such as clone technology, and so on, using televisions. These updates can inspire the imagination of children and motivate them to carry out relevant experiments, resulting in their own findings and breakthroughs in their study.
Secondly, some educational programs like adventures and geography are designed to enlarge people’s scope of knowledge, including children’s. Pictures in textbooks can hardly satisfy children’s urge to explore the real world, and if they cannot afford to travel and directly see and touch the objects themselves, television is their best option. Adventures programs can cultivate children’s ability to tackle difficult tasks. Geography, on the other hand, teaches children about the beautiful variety of the nature. Children’s creativity and aspiration to know more can be deeply initiated by these kinds of programs, thanks to the eye- pleasing visual and audio effects.
It is true, however, that there are some indecent programs that may exert undesirable impacts on children’s growth. The shots about crimes, violence or pornography can lead children down to the criminal road.
In conclusion, television initiates and boosts children’s creativity and eagerness for exploration. But meanwhile, governments and societies should do their utmost to implement a strict television program classification to provide children with a healthy learning environment.
