T.V Argument

In the UAE, most families have at least one T.V in their home. Some people say that it is useful and interesting. However, others say the disadvantages are more than the advantages. In my opinion, I support the idea which is the disadvantages are more than the advantages. This essay will examine the pros and cons of T.V it is harm or good.

There are several arguments in favor of T.V. The first argument is that you can increase your general knowledge. For example, there are a lot of useful programs on different subjects like science, history and news programs. Another reason that the people agree with this idea is the T.V is use for entertainment. For instance, you can spend your leisure time watch movies and some interesting programs.

However, there are many far more convincing arguments against watching T.V. The first point is the quality of programs. For example, some programs are about war, violence, murder and various disasters making us less sensitive to the real thing. Also watching TV can slow down young children’s speech development because they watch a lot and don’t talk with anybody. Furthermore T.V reduces your attention and decreases your concentration. Finally, the T.V causes some diseases like eye problems and you will gain more weight and become a "couch potatoes".

In conclusion, I believe that we should decrease or ban watching T.V. Also I strongly believe that the T.V does more harm than good because it turns people into unthinking, illiterate and couch potatoes.
