Television is the most popular form of entertainment in any household. But I think Television tends to have a tremendous

influence on its viewers.Firstly, based on the recent research, people of all ages use this

medium to entertain themselves for an average of five hours a day.  Of course, constant exposure of TV will influence the

viewers’ thinking and attitude. This can be seen from the fact that many criminals are inspired from the scene on TV.

Secondly, people can be  affected by constant watching television. This is due to the fact that they less in physical activities, spend less time reading and working and see a

work of violence that can affect their own feelings of security.Finally, comercial advertisement on TV can be a brain washing.

Psychologically, constant show of advertisement will shape one’s image about one product. No wonder people are easier to remember the motto or slogan of one advertisement than

to retrieve information that they have learned.In short, TV will be a kind of monster can conquer one’s mind

and attitude.
