by : Nurul

How do television and the other visual media affect the lives of individuals and families around the globe?. Everyone must have a feel of how the visual media affects our real lives, as if we are seeing e is the real thing. But it turns out it was the work of a creative hand. What i will discuss now is what are the terms of the visual media affect a person's life.

• Media replaces other activities.Some people watch the "tube" for more hours in a day than they do anything  else. In a large number of homes, TV sets-as many as five or more in a single household are always on. Many people watch tv for any hours a day or spend hours playing games or surfing on their computers, they download music, movies, and other forms of entertainment. Instead of spending time taking care of their kids, parents often use a a video screen as an "electronic baby-sitter".
• The effect if TV on mind.Too much TV-especialy programming of low educational value can reduce people's ability to concentrate or reason. In fact, studies show that after only a minute or two of visual media, a person's mind "relaxes" as it does during light sleep. Another possible effect of television and videotapes on the human brain is poor communication. Children who watch a lot of TV may lose their ability to focus on a subject or an educational activity for more than 10 to 15 minutes.
• The effect of violence in the media. The amount of violence on the screen both in real events in the news and movies or in TV programs. It scared them and gives them terrible nightmares. The fear created by media images and language can last for a long time. They may even copy the acts that they see on violent shows-start fires, carry and use weapons, attack people in angry or dangerous ways, and even worse.
• Some people may become dissatisfied with the reality of their own lives. To these viewers, everyday life does not seem as exiting as the roles actors play in movie on TV dramas. Media watchers might get depressed when they can't take care of situations in real life as well as TV stars seem to.They bored with their real life.
• And the last is the most negative effect of all of these kinds of visual media might be addiction. People often feel a strange and powerful to watch TV, download visual material, or play a dvd even when they don't enjoy it or have the free time for entertainment.

You need to pay attention to the visual effects provided by the media. We should be able to limit our need for visual media. We just need to realize that it is only for entertainment and not to be applied or hope does happen in real life. So, be smart and live a normal life. Real life is more beautiful than the drama TV series or movie. :)
