Should TV be banned?

by Sahibz

Television or no Television can change how our world works. With Television our lives don't go anywhere. Our education moves down greatly, our obesity moves up intensely and our body in every way gets hurt. A question that should be answered is can we survive without television? With television our lives may be changed forever. Generation by generation will suffer thanks to the television and that is why I would like to convince you , television is should be banned.

Television is a great way to hurt your education. Everyday in the morning when you wake up. The first thing you do while your waiting to get breakfast or even when your eating breakfast the T.V is on. You go to school and you are still thinking of the cool show you are watched in the morning. And that leads to a distraction during your school day. Even after you get home you probably get a snack but then click on the T.V. After you watch T.V your distracted again. You don't do quality homework and you go to sleep late which makes you brain worse the next day. As everyday goes by you don't gain any knowledge. A future plan will be hurt and generation by generation people will continue the same process. Television may not just change a day of someones life but a day of waste and a generation of suffering.

Why in Australia is there the most obesity? Why in Australia is there are so many junk foods? McDonald's Hungry Jacks , Pizza hut , EVERYWHERE! There may be some weird reason that leads to this answer. But a big reason is because there is T.V. When you watch T.V you are usually eating a snack. How does it get to you about eating the snack, well when you watch television you have a bond with you and a snack which tempts you to eat it. Another thing of how Television leads to obesity is that when you eat and then watch T.V the fat and sugar of the food you ate doesn't turn it into energy but fat because because there is no exercise with T.V. A minute of television could mean a minute of fat. Don't you feel tempted to eat foods while watching you favorite show.

Children become brainwashed by watching ads craving toward them and their desires. In the future, they become dumb consumers. They are trained to see a ad from their favorite brand and buy the product. They would eat at McDonald's a lot. They would follow the ideas . Many food stores can take advantage on this. Television reduces maturity that kids are meant to gain . They allow kids to become fat. Kids throw tantrums if they do not get their own way.

Television caused much damage. If we still keep it we as humans will never feel like we accomplished something so great for television is so bad that Television should be banned.
