Movies and television are often accused of affecting young peopleadversely. Thus some people conclude that the negative effects of entertainmentmedia far outweigh the benefits. I disagree.

Admittedly, entertainment media has had certain negative effects onchildren. Increasing scenes of violence and pornography have caused imitationamong teenagers. Since teenagers are particularly impressionable at that age,anything they are exposed to could seriously impacts their perception ofreality. According to a recent survey conducted by the Chinese AdolescentDelinquency Association, after polling hundreds of young criminals aged 12 to18,most respondents claimed that they copied violent behavior learned fromtelevision shows or movies. Thus, to some extent, TV and movies are responsiblefor the problematic behavior of some teenagers.

However, television and movies also benefit children. For one thing,educational TV programs and documentaries are instrumental in teaching childrenin an interesting way. Unlike textbooks and ordinary class activities, moviesprovide can teach children about subjects in different and more interactiveways. Take my sister for example. She is majoring in zoology. According to her,watching the Discovery Channel as a little girl first made her interested innature and animals. The Discovery Channel’s vivid pictures and lively footagehelped her gain more knowledge about a variety of rare species and learn toappreciate the beauty of wildlife. Without the aid of television, the tediousdescription from textbooks would have hardly aroused any interest in my sisterwhen she was young.

In addition, movies and television shows provide young people with atemporary escape from their stressful lives, full of studying. Entertainmentmovies can inspire creative thinking in children and teach them important valuesin an interesting way. By seeing flying cars in the Matrix, children can thinkmore about future innovations in technology. Seeing martial arts in Kung FuPanda has even made children more interested in the traditional art and historyof China. From the Harry Potter series, children learn the importance of courageand friendship.

All in all, despite a few isolated cases of negative influence, I believethat the overall impact of television and movies is positive. (352 words)
