Propensity to violence.
You can be indignant about the fact that there is so much violence on screens. But it would not have been, if there was not a great demand for action-packed films and programs. Studies around the world have shown that the abuse of watching TV really increases the propensity for violence. The thing is that many of the pictures that we see on the screen look real. Many situations occur or can occur in real life. We understand that this is just an invention, but our body believes, we feel fear , anger, regret as if we ourselves are participating in a dangerous situation. Over the years, we get used to watching violence and being passive, and this negatively affects the psyche.
Excess weight.
Modern television is built in such a way as to grab attention from the morning and do not let it go until late at night. And even at night there is always something to see. If you spend at the TV only 3 - 4 hours daily, extra pounds will inevitably accumulate. The habit of a sedentary lifestyle, given the time spent in the office, does not lead to harmony, and lack of sleep leads to the replacement of sleep with calories. Therefore, a picture is not unusual when someone constantly chews something while watching TV.
Sleep disturbances.
As already mentioned, you can find an interesting program or film on TV at any time of the day. Sometimes people sacrifice a dream in order to watch the next series of their favorite movie. At the same time, the content of films influences sleep. Any things that cause strong emotions do not contribute to a quick falling asleep and a deep sleep. Many people who spend evenings at the TV screen complain of difficulty falling asleep, insomnia or nightmares. Sometimes these symptoms become chronic and require specialist intervention.
Change of consciousness.
It's no secret that television is not too concerned that viewers develop intellectually or morally. This box seems to present us on a platter ready ideas, thoughts, images. Only these are not our thoughts and not our feelings, they are artificially implanted, we get used to thinking and feeling just like that, and not otherwise. In addition, television especially affects the emerging psyche of children. Infinite sitting at the screen can slow down the development of fantasy, creativity, raise the level of anxiety. In addition, children see not the best examples for imitation, stroking their favorite teleguer.
Protection measures.
First, do not turn on the TV just for the "background". Secondly, carefully choose programs. If you do not want to see scenes of violence or worry because of some events, do not look at those films and programs that might disturb your peace. Thirdly, monitor what your children are watching and how much time they spend in front of the TV. Up to a certain age, children are not able to correctly interpret what is happening on the screen, they need your explanations. Therefore, do not take the TV as a free nanny and leave the children alone with a talking box.
Choose developing and family programs for viewing, carefully choose films. If a child watches TV for an hour or two a day, and each time reveals something new and useful, there will be no harm in it. If the TV becomes his only entertainment and best friend, you will soon notice the negative consequences from such pastime.
