The Effects of TV on Children

-

          Television, as we all know, has become a big influence to everyone. People always watch TV as their daily activity. Not only teenagers and adults, but also children watch TV in their leisure time. This kind of activity – watching TV for children – absolutely will bring effects for children. By watching TV, children will get both negative effects and positive effects such as make children lazy, inspire the children to do the things they watch on TV, enrich their knowledge, and entertain the children.
        TV can make children lazy. By always watching TV, children lose their time to study. The programs that are interesting to watch will make the children sit still. Thus, they will waste their time too much on TV and make them lazy to do the other things. The more often they watch TV, the more lazy they will be. TV can also inspire the children to do the things they watch on TV. If the program they watch is something like pornography or crime, they will get inspired. The worst is when the program shows scene of how the things get done. Children will wonder what it is like to do the things they watch and finally it will lead them to do the bad things they watch.
            However, in spite of its negative effects, TV also gives positive effects for children. By watching TV, children can enrich their knowledge. There are a lot of educating programs nowadays on TV, make it useful for children to watch TV, such as Discovery Channel, The Sesame Street, Mister Rogers Neighborhood, Schoolhouse Rock, Blue’s Clues, Barney & Friends, or Dora The Explorer. Another positive effect is TV can entertain children. Instead of playing outside in the bad weather, children can entertain themselves by watching TV programs like cartoons or music program.
            In summary, TV can give both negative and positive effects to children. It depends on what kind of TV program they watch. If children watch a good and educating program, it can enrich their knowledge and it can entertain them. However, if the program they watch is something bad, it can inspire them to do the things they watch. The intensity of watching TV also gives effect to children. Children will get lazier when they watch TV too often. Thus, to avoid the negative effect to children, parent should look after what kind of TV program their children watch. Do not let the children watch TV program that is uneducated.

Seperti yang sudah saya ceritakan pada post sebelumnya, pada tanggal 22 Desember 2016 saya melakukan test PAPs (Potensi Akademik Pascasarjana) UGM atau yang biasa kita kenal dengan sebutan TPA (Test Potensi Akademik). Hari Rabu, tanggal 8 Februari 2017 akhirnya saya mengambil hasil test ini di kantor UPAP UGM (karena memang baru sempat dan sekalian jalan ke jogja untuk keperluan test ACEPT). Bentuk sertifikat PAPs UGM seperti gambar di bawah ini : Sertifikat Tes Potensi Akademik Pascasarjana (PAPs) UGM Skor yang saya dapatkan setelah berpeluh berjuang melawan soal yang super banyak (halah) adalah 678.

Setelah melalui proses pendaftaran yang cukup penuh drama dan perjuangan *tsah* akhirnya persiapan test PAPS UGM dehh Dari selesai proses pendaftaran sampai dengan H-1 aku ga ada belajar sama sekali Kata orang-orang sih "tes TPA ga perlu belajar, yang penting tenang aja pas ngerjainnya" Well, aku ga begitu setuju dengan pernyataan tersebut karena menurut aku yah tenang waktu mengerjakan memang penting, tapi ga ada salahnya juga belajar buat tes TPA Apa yang perlu dipelajari? Kosakata! Pake tanda (!) bukan bermaksud ga nyantai tapi memang penting banget mempelajari kosakata karena kalau dari pengalaman aku jujur cukup lumayan banyak soal verbal yang aku kurang pahami Contoh : Borang Apa sinonim kata borang ? Mungkin beberapa orang banyak yang mengerti arti dan sinonim dari kata tersebut, but in my case , walaupun di kerjaanku sehari-hari sering banget menyebutkan dan mendengarkan kata itu, aku ga tau itu artinya apa Dari situ aku belajar bahwa penting untuk menguasai b...
