Influence of the media on young people


There is no doubt that the media has influenced young people to spend a great deal of time visiting social networking sites, watching TV and so on. The media is always easy to use and fast, so they don’t need to work hard and read to find answers or to read novels because they can watch movies instead, even in the magazines pictures and written articles are chosen to attract young people. 

However, that would waste their time and energy while they could use that time to do something more useful. Such as, reading books, developing new skills and spending quality time with their family. In fact media can help them learn faster but that doesn’t mean they should spend most of their time using it, and I think parents should try to control their children by following some tips. Firstly, they must limit TV viewing to 2-3 hours every day. Secondly, parents can sit with them and discuss the positive and negative about using the media. Thirdly, it is important to keep TV, video games, etc. Out of their room. Another tip is to spend time together doing activities.

  1. I used to watch TV 3 hours everyday. I couldn't stop watching TV when I was child lol. You're right. It's better to set a limit viewing TV.

  2. I agree with you, but it is difficult to stop using media. People can't live without TV or cellphone.
