Children On The Screen Analysis

Improved Essays
In the topic of discussion on children's screen time as scribed in the two passages, i see truth in both. So what is my opinion? Well, my opinion is that children of this generation do spend far to much time in front of screens. I have seen that as the technology becomes more and more advanced, we as a humanity are fragmenting ourselves. Devices like phones and televisions consume the minds of our youth and they distorting communication skills. These electronics also in my view strip people of their pressious imagination.

I agree with all of what is said in the first passage and from what i know about electronic devices in my spiritual perspective is, the electromagnetic field is severely damaged by these devices. The frequencies bend and fragment our aura and lower our vibrations, so i find great resonance with the first passage when it mentions

To a certain degree, i agree with the following quote "The truth is that what is viewed on a screen and how it is viewed is more important than the amount of viewing time". What is viewed and how it is perceived is very important. If the viewer (in this case the child) is consciously aware of what they are watching and in tune with their emotionality, then they can control how they react to what they are watching. If this is not the case then for example, something like watching a scary film may petrify the viewer and give them nightmares. The results of this type of reaction can be damaging psychologically. I disagree with the part the mentions its more important than viewing time to a degree because as i expressed before, too much time investing in screen viewing has many negative effects. Passage two also states "There's no need to keep children away from it.". I wouldnt be so extreme as to say keep away from it entirely but what i would say is, indulge in these activities in moderation and keep a balance with time spent outside

    I can't to much argue with the passage "It's Time to Let Go of Screen Fears," but I can the passage "Screen Time Limits Are Vital for Children." Here is why, there are wayy too much disturbing things on TV and on the internet that kids shouldn't be looking at, for one kids may end up seeing something on the internet or on TV involving sex, and try to experiment on one another. Just like it says in the passage " Screen time takes a mental and physical toll on kids," and it really does your have kids gaining so much weight from not wanting to go outside and play, they'd rather be on the internet or watch TV and eat. However, there is one thing I can agree on with the passage "It's Time to Let Go of Screen Fears," It says " New studies show that…

    V-Chip to Assist in Monitoring What Children Can Watch on TV Parents always want what’s best for their children and enjoy their childhood. When it comes to media and technology, parents want to be extremely cautious of what network, movie, or cartoons their children are watching. Most parents want to sit there with their children and make sure nothing goes wrong. From “Marketing, Media, and the First Amendment: What’s Best for Children,” Susan Linn suggests parents should use the V-chip to assist in monitoring what children can watch on television. I think it is a great idea to do so; the children won’t be exposed to sex, violence, drugs, nudity, and pregnancies at an early age.…

    Although research has indicated that the affects of the media have damaged children in numerous ways, some argue that the media has actually enhanced the way children learn and socialize. Television channels such as PBS and Discovery have argued that they have provided education and valuable lessons for young children. An ABC News article titled, TV can Improve Kids Behavior, is in defense of the media being a positive influence for children. Dr. Christakis, a director of Child Health, has argued that children often imitate or mimic other resulting in learning. He says that, "children imitate what they see on screen.…
