Violence on Television

Violence takes several shapes.  Nowadays, televisions have become a part of our daily life.  On the television screens, we see various sights which show these kinds of violence.

There are hundreds of television channels and tens of them are specialized in presenting very bad programmes.  The aims of their owners are only withdrawing and getting benefits and to accomplish material achievements regardless of the other results which they cause by doing so.

The most dangerous thing is that we let our children watch these programmes.  Moreover some channels aim to destroy societies, mainly children, by presenting a very bad  programmes.  Sometimes the advertisements on the television screen are dangerous and harmful to our children.

Some people say that we can control this kind of programmes.  We can let them watch certain prorammes and we prevent them from watching the others.

They also think that we can choose the channels which do no show these bad prorammes.  But some children switch on televisions when hey are alone.  In this case, we cannot control the kinds of channels and programmes that they wach.  They may see some sights which attract their attention but these sights show violence.  Sometimes we think that a certain programme is good for our children but it is really very dangerous for them.

When children see these sights, some of them try to imitate the actors or violent persons.  After that, this violence becomes part of their behavior and conduct.

In this way, the average of the crimes and terrorism will be raised and increased.  These  children will become criminals and terrorists.  Their life will be destroyed and they destry their families.

Some children will become negative not positive.  Their characters will be very weak and they will not be able to lead a normal and respectable life.  They will not trust anybody because they will be afraid of everything.

Some children think the actors and the real persons, who are violent or present violence, are heroes and champions.  So, they do their best to follow and imitate them.  By doing so, they fall in their trap and become criminals in the eyes of their society.

There are thousands of programmes which present violence in several ways, such as shooting and killing, committing suicide, stealing, kidnapping and wars.

Some people say that watching the real situations in the news such as shooting and killing is not good for children and it leaves a bad effect on them.

Some children catch and develop a very bad habits, such as crying during sleeping at night, dreaming with bad dreams and nightmares and having abnormal pissing.

Some children build a very weak and abnormal character.  They do not trust anybody.  They tell lies and they become liars and rubbers.

Children are the flowers of our present life.  They will become the leaders, producers and the fruitful persons in the future.  They will be the men in the future.  So, we have to take a great care for growing them up and teaching them the basic of faith and the correct way for a respectable and successful life.  If we neglect them and leave them to their unknown future, we will make a great mistake and corruption will spread and our society will be destroyed and damaged.
