Influence of TV And Radio

i think you are right, we do learn a lot from tv. actually i love watching the discovery channel and animal planet. but we do need to watch out for what our children watch these days even some cartoons are pornographic and have bad language.

You had alot of reasons behind your explanations of because of this and thats'. It was not only informative but you concluded the facts very well.

I think you have chosen a very important subject matter, but I don't believe you've developed your argument as well as you could have. For instance, you spend a good deal of time talking about radio, but you don't bring it back to your central thesis which seems to be that television is bad for children. Since your essay is relatively short, I suggest you focus it much more clearly - speak of just one medium, which is television, and explain to us why, exactly, it is bad for children (assuming this is the thesis). You ask us to imagine, for instance, what would happen if a child gets his view of the world watching Melrose Place, but don't back it up with a fact showing that programs like these do indeed have a bad influence on kids. So some more facts would help the argument. Spend more time building the primary argument and less time on secondary thoughts such as radio. Good start though.

I just did a paper on this a while back and I agree with you on many of the things you say. TV is very informative. But one problem with television is that it is spoonfeeding information to people which makes people lazy. Also how many kids do you know watch the discovery channel more than the cartoon network.

there were points that i strongly agree with in there but to be brutally honest it sounds like an essay written by a classmate in 1994. It was well put together and the author deserves credit for expressing opinions which can be very touchy in this day and age

this is a well written essay. a lot was said about the influence of tv on the newer generations. a lot of people are use to reading books, but tv makes the task a bit easier. i think it is important for people to critically analyze what they watch because there is a lot of false misrepresentations of the truth out there. parents need to allow children to think for themselves and not fall victim to false propaganda.

This sounds like a compare/contrast or advantage/disadvantage essay on TV and other media.


You need to use more descriptive words. Instead of television, you can say "TV, the tube, blah, bloop, etc, wah, wee". I like elaboration. What are you trying to tell us here? We'd like to know.
