Children and Television
Television has been changing the way people live for thirty years. It influences nearly every aspect of modern life. how people use leisure time, how news is reported,how information is learned,
and how people think and feel.Children are particularly susceptible to the effects of television because their minds are growing, developing, and learning much faster than those of adults. Whereas television could be used as an educational tool for children, more often simple ehtertaining cartoons with little or no educational value are shown.
Social scientists, teachers, and parents are troubled by the kinds of television programs children choose to watch.These groups of people are concerned about the media＇s impact on young .children. They are worried about the effects of televised violence on society as well as commercials for sug-
arcoated food. Most importantly, however, they feel television is one factor that causes declining math and reading scores among schoolchildren. Because of the excessive time spent in watching TV, children are spending less time reading
and thinking independently.
Experts are concerned about the view of the world that youngsters are learning from television. Parents, schools, and churches have traditionally been the social models and teachers for children. However, because television influences children＇s attitudes and behavior, its role in society is becoming increasingly more powerful--it is much more than a simple recreational activity.
Exposure to excessive violence is another influence of television. According to several studies, televised violence may cause children to become more aggressive. Also, because so much violence is seen children on television, they become more used to it as the only solution to difficult situations. Children who watch a great deal of violence on television may become apathetic toward actual aggression. One study has shown that, compared to a control group, fifth-graders who watched an aggressive television broadcast were slower to ask for adult help when a fight broke out among younger children.
兒童與電視
近三十年來(lái)，電視在不斷地改變著人們的生活方式。它幾乎影響著現(xiàn)代生活的方方面面，如：人們?nèi)绾味冗^閑暇時(shí)間，如何報(bào)導(dǎo)新聞，如何獲取知識(shí)信息，以及人們?nèi)绾嗡伎�，作何感受。由于孩子們的大腦正在成長(zhǎng)和發(fā)育，學(xué)習(xí)的速度比成年人要快得多，因此，孩子們尤其容易受到電視的影響。雖然電視可以用作教育兒童的工具，但更多時(shí)候，電視上放映的.卻只是一些簡(jiǎn)單的娛樂性的卡通節(jié)目，極少有甚至根本沒有教育價(jià)值。
社會(huì)科學(xué)家，老師和家長(zhǎng)們一直為孩子們選擇觀看的電視節(jié)目的種類所困擾著。這些人關(guān)注的是媒體對(duì)年幼的孩子造成的影響。他們?yōu)殡娨暠┝?jié)目，也為糖衣食物的廣告給孩子帶來(lái)的影響表示擔(dān)憂。然而，最重要的是，他們認(rèn)為電視是造成孩子們數(shù)學(xué)和閱讀成績(jī)下降的一大因素。由于把過多的時(shí)間花在看電視上，孩子們花在閱讀和獨(dú)立思考上的時(shí)間就非常少了。
孩子們從電視上學(xué)來(lái)的世界觀讓專家們深感憂慮。一直以來(lái)，父母、學(xué)校和教會(huì)就是兒童的社會(huì)模范和老師。但是，由于電視影響著兒童的態(tài)度和行為，電視在社會(huì)中的作用已經(jīng)變得越來(lái)越強(qiáng)大了，它已遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了簡(jiǎn)單的娛樂活動(dòng)的范疇。
電視的另一大危害就是置孩子們于過度的暴力影響之下。數(shù)據(jù)研究表明，電視暴力會(huì)使孩子們變得更具攻擊性。同時(shí)，由于孩子們?cè)陔娨暽峡吹搅颂嗟谋┝�，他們�?huì)對(duì)此習(xí)以為常，把它視為面臨困境時(shí)的惟一解決辦法。在電視上看到過多暴力的孩子們，他們對(duì)真正的攻擊行為無(wú)動(dòng)于衷。一項(xiàng)研究表明，與看電視節(jié)目受到控制的同齡人相比，當(dāng)觀看了具有進(jìn)攻性電視節(jié)目的五年級(jí)的孩子們看見年幼的孩子打架時(shí)，他們更不愿意向大人求助。
