A very warm good morning to all of you,

Our topic is effect of television on youth. I am going to put my views on what's the effect of television on youth. Everything has two sides. Tv has also two sides but it counts on us how do we use it. First of all, I am going to put my views what's the advantage of tv During the pandemic everything had stopped then tv was the best way for entertainment themselves. In the field of education, tv is also used. We can know about current events. We can know about our culture through the Tv because a lot of spiritual programme comes on the tv. We can also know about our history because of a lot of programmes related to this. Such as Chandragupt Maurya, Maharana Partap etc. Now I am going to put my views what's the negative impact of tv on youth. As we know that tv is the best way for our entertainment. A lot of youth loiter our time through this and a lot of youth have addicted this.

Hello, everyone,

Everyone knows there is always two sides of a coin. As coin there is. Always two phases of any situation or any invention. Like that TV is also having boon and bane effect.

Boon:
It provides all kinds of channels by which we can gather all the information.

It's the biggest platform where marketers can advertise their products which reach to more and more number of people.

Likewise, if any step has been taken by the government Will be especially broadcasted through the TV.

So many reality shows where people used to show up their talents.

Entertainment channels which help the homemakers to pass their time as their family members are quite busy in their own life.

Bane:

Provides all the channels which can put bad impact on children.

Parents started comparing their children by showing reality shows.

People are getting so many ideas to attempt for crimes EG: Drishtant.

Part of social separation.

Hello.

As per my opinion, everything has pros and cons. So, if we talking about the effects of television on youth I think television is one of the important things that aware youth to the about new technologies, competition and as we all see that some reality shows have small children with such a beautiful talent so I think this inspire our youth. On behalf of this news channels also very helpful to enhance their general knowledge.

Now, on the other hand, there is some disadvantage also as I already say because nowadays television news are very open so it also impacts a bad image on youth but why we only say that because of television our youth follow the wrong direction, in my point of view nowadays everything gave a bad impact.

So, I concluding says that's television is not as bad as we think. The main thing is that we have to teach our youth how and what things they have to caught for their goods.

Thank you.

Guys today we are going to discuss on the effects of television on youth.

In my view, television has both positive and negative aspects in today's society. Yeah, In olden days the movies are prepared on the basis of moral values, culture etc. But today's movies are totally filled with filthy things. Yes, these movies are deviating youth a lot. Watching movie is not a crime but grasping the unwanted things will be a crime. In olden days small kids used to sat beside their grandma and grand father to listen to moral and interesting stories. But now even these kids had a habit of watching T. V for long hours. We can't blame such small kids for watching because they were influenced by their elderly people. Since it's not too late still we have many opportunities to take part as a youth, we must be a role model for a future generation. So save time, gain knowledge from books, novels or some educational websites.

Hello, friends, nowadays television plays a vital role in our day to day life. Everything has some pros and cons it depends on mainly how efficiently we people using those things. Of course, whatever technology grows up but still now we are using TV in our home. Watching tv gives us a lot of information about sports, economics, current affairs., don't what's happening in all around the world even the illiterate can know by watching images nd live programs by hearing. So it gives us some relaxation nd knowledge and etc. But at the same time, it has som disadvantages like crimes nd some programs on foreign channels which affect the younger generation very badly and leads to the dangerous situation sometimes. Mainly watching TV makes us so many discomforts in our health and makes us coachpotatoes. So my conclusion is about this topic is it is good when we use it in a proper way otherwise it is bad only.

Hi, everyone there. I personally think that television has double sided one for advantages and one for disadvantages. Advantages are that you can get good knowledge from news channels and various knowledge channels such as: National Discovery Channel, discovery etc. Whereas, the disadvantages are that of serials and cartoons today's kids by watching cartoons have forgotten the manner and by serials showing fights and exposing women in saree or western dresses many teenagers and women's have started exposing you can find women's wearing saree very much below their midriff and exposing teenagers in malls exposing in western dresses.

Even we can notice its adverse affects on our festivals all the sociality between people has vanished. Everyone is stuck to either mobile phones or Television.

What is the hack going on? I say this is now the time to change.

1) Watching TV for long hours is not good for our eyes. The harmful radiations emitted by it can damage our eyes. That's why nowadays, half of the populations are having specs.

2) Initially, people used to read books and imagine the various characters. But now, people like watching TV instead. Television has killed their imaginative thinking.

3) Some reality shows the aggressive and abusive behavior of contestants. This affects the mentally of today's youth.

4) Watching the never-ending serials by ladies is actually mere wastage of time. They should actually consume this time in doing physical activities and in interacting with the people.

5) Children have become addicted to cartoons and they remain sitting before television for hours which has actually made them obese. They don't go for outdoor games and it has killed their physical activity.

According to me, television has both positive and negative effects on youth. We can't say that it has only negative or positive effects.

We have heard some saying that television is an idiot box to remove that and install a beautiful book shelf. Then what we have to do for our entertainment time reading books, no.

We want some entertainment. We have to laugh, giggle, enjoy the life.

So, we must see educative and informative program to arouse the interest of the youth and encourage them. Parents should guide them and give proper knowledge of television, how to use.

First, parents should see good programmes and not seeing bad serials like robberies, cheating.

Then children follow the parents and act according to.

It's in our hands, if we use it as a good one it will be pleasant, happy, if not we will have to pay for that.

Speaking on the topic I think:

TV is an invention, which mankind can't take back, today, we even go through similar platforms via internet in our mobiles and PCs. It is a great instrument of recreation and information, much safer for children as compared to online. The availability of spectrum of programs and knowledge makes it a valuable product.

What is really matter of disturbance in TV usage is the problems created on health and the mental development. The simple bizarre programmes like never ending serials with no story line and the youth reality shows which only keep you floating in the world of fantasy and unreal thoughts.

I think what needs to be reviewed more is the content that comes on TV and as far as the time wastage and the health goes that is one's personal and family guided responsibility.

In my point of view, television has more advantages than disadvantages. As it provides all types of information about politics, sports, national issues and international issues also. With television, we can know what is happening outside India and in India. There will be a very much effect on youth because it is the best place where all the people can showcase their talents like dancing etc. By this, the youth can easily get popularity.

If any company want to promote or advertise their product then television is the best place.

If we want to see live programs like sports etc then we can see in life in television. It will be helpful if we are not able to present physically at that time any programme we can access in television. For the youth, it is the best place to showcase their talents.
