...have TV. Therefore, children don’t give up television, so it means they are always sitting in front of TV. Children shouldn’t be allowed to watch TV because there are two primary negative effects of watching TV on kids, which are social problems and health problems.

Therefore, it is hard for kids to be their own particular individuals. It means, when children watch TV a lot, they lose their own personality. Moreover, they have communication problems. A child who watches TV for a long time His brain will develop less than other Children. Also, if kids watch TV, they get addicted to it, so they won’t have friends and they won’t learn how they can communicate with people. For example, before five decades children was playing with their friends and they meet them all day but these days children can see their friends one a week or one a year because of television.

There are several negative effects of TV on children. First of all, one of the negative effect of TV is that TV effects children’s physical development. Studies have shown that children who watch TV for more hours are more likely to be overweight. In fact, the study results are not surprising. Half of the commercials encourage children to eat unhealthy foods such as chips, candies especially high-calorie foods. Commercials have a big influence on children’s bad eating habits because children are unable to distinguish program content from commercials especially when a cartoon character is promoting the product. For example, in order to introduce the product ,Pingui,advertisers used a cartoon characters and made the characters talk with each other.

...Inventing TV is one of the most important steps of the human being on the way leading to a new world. A person can see every part of the planet where he or she has not ever come. A politician can talk to his or her voters in whole country. We might clearly see many advantages of TV. However, not all of us recognize TV's bad effects, especially on children. In my opinion, I can point out some disadvantages of TV for the children wasting time, passivity and harm to their health. To begin with, there are so many interesting TV programs that it might be difficult for children to turn off the TV after turning on it. When a show is going to end, and then the speaker will produce another attractive one. The programs are shown constantly. Furthermore, with the development of TV industry, specialized channels appear. Children might use all day to watch Disney channel and do nothing. In addition, TV makes children passive. Every image and sound is delivered continually. The children just receive the information passively. It will prevent the minds from deeply thinking or creating new ideas. On the other hand, going to parks or doing outdoor activities can raise children 's creative ability. Furthermore, it is very harmful for children if they spend most of the time on TV. There are many diseases caused by watching TV too much. One of them is sort-sighted which is becoming more and more popular in the young. Moreover, watching TV too much might also bring the children be tired or even...

...media such as books, radio, TV, film, theater, comics, which are used for communication. All these have some advantages and disadvantages. In this essay I consider three item of this category include TV, radio and books. In my opinion, books have had undoubted effect on people life. For many years, books were only way for communication. Nowadays, we can find a lot of old books that were written many years ago. Books have a lot of advantages. Books are known as valuable source for record information, theories and so on. We can access them all the time. Unfortunately, books have some disadvantages. Firstly, if books are not maintained carefully, they will be destroyed. Secondly, books are written in different languages, so sometimes when they are translated, some of their concept in destination languages is changed. Finally, communication through books is offline. In the beginning of twenty century, Lumiere brothers introduced industrial of cinema to the world. Because of their invention, today we have TV and radio. TV and radio in some way are similar.

...developed by Nielsen Media Research, in an effort to determine the audience size and composition of television programming in the United States. In the U.S., the term TV ratings immediately makes people think of Nielsen because Nielsen Media Research has become the de facto national measurement service for the television industry in the United States and Canada. Nielson measures the number of people watching television shows and makes its data available to the television and cable networks, advertisers and the media. This research is worth billions of dollars. Advertisers pay to air their commercials on TV programs using rates that are based on Nielsen's data. Programmers also use Nielsen's data to decide which shows to keep and which to cancel. Nielsen uses a technique called statistical sampling to rate the shows -- the same technique that pollsters use to predict the outcome of elections. Nielsen creates a sample audience and then counts how many in that audience view each program. Nielsen then extrapolates from the sample and estimates the number of viewers in the entire population watching the show. Electronic metering technology is use for Nielsen ratings process. Two types of meters are used: set meters capture what channel is being tuned, while People Meters go a step further and gather information about who is watching in addition to the channel tuned. Nielson viewership data collection system provides many advantages: Nielsen Media Research provides statistics on specific demographics...

...The situation with TV nowadays is rather controversial, and writing this essay actually required quite a lot of effort to make up my clumsy thoughts. Even though many people claim that TV might follow the footsteps of, for example, VHS-cassettes, no one can deny the pleasure of watching films in full HD, and other possibilities, that are kindly offered by the brand new smart-TV's. Like the majority of teenagers I don't watch TV often and its not surprising at all, if we mention Internet. However I still cannot dodge it completely throughout my daily routine, and therefore, I can think of some reasons why to spend your time in front of TV screen, and why not. The first and foremost advantage of TV for me is its perfect ability to run in the background. I bet a lot of people can confess in doing the same thing - just casually switching the TV on, and heading to do some other stuff. This gets especially effective if the TV is in the kitchen. It becomes the main source of news and current events for me, unlike Internet, where I always end up forgetting about everything the moment I enter social networks. Secondly, TV shows entertain people when they are tired or lazy to go out. Most of the youth like TV channels like MTV because of great variety of music clips and others entertaining shows, and I'm not an exception. Finally, I can't but mention a vast amount of educational programs available, particularly on Discovery and National Geographic channels, which can educate and stimulate...

...those who are ill or housebound, television provides them with a company while they are alone, whereas others just enjoy the entertainment factor. Entertainment in the home can be very challenging for the most loving families; therefore television can be a good thing as it can provide parents with a "babysitter"! For those older folk who can no longer cope with going out for shopping, TV is the answer! Not to forget the teens who simply can't seem to have enough of Hannah Montana or the lovely middle-aged ladies who love watching their favorite series of either 'Desperate Housewives' or 'Sex and The City'! Though, actually going to a concert has a better atmosphere than just watching it on television, some people praise this as it is much cheaper than buying a ticket to go to the venue itself. TV has brought the education at viewers' door-steps. It has encouraged formal and open education in a big way. Well, those were just the 'WOW' factors of Television. However, its not all good! For instance, while I was in middle-school, I had this unforgettable poem on a couple who was highly addicted to TV. They watched Television for days and nights together; never did they make a single movement! It seemed as if Television was the one and only sole reason for them to stay alive. Suddenly, after a few days, the electricity went off making the screen go blank. Its just at that point of time that they looked at each other for the first time ever and exchanged some warm 'Hello's and 'How...

...such as newspapers, magazines, film, radio, or television, to communicate to large numbers of people who are located in various places- often scattered all over the country or world” (pg. 9). Mass Communication is a process in which a person or a group of people and organization sends their message to the large group of people or massively spread out the information through the use of technologies in mass media. It thinks about the effects of mass media’s information to the receiver’s emotion, opinion, behavior and attitude. Mass media also has a theory. According to George Gerbner and Marshall McLuhan (1976), Cultivation Theory discusses that watching television has a long-term effect to the individual who consumes on watching TV. It says that the person is more likely to believe the real world is the same on what they have watched in TV. There's a big influence behind every repeated information, for example, you saw your favorite star in commercial endorsing the new shampoo and you saw that the product...

...Microeconomics: Price and Markets Word Count (excluding references): 1483 1a) The diagram below outlines producer surplus for West Coast Eagles’ for ticket sales in 2010. Because 22% of total seats are reserved for corporate sponsors, this leaves a perfectly inelastic supply (vertical line) of 33930 seats. Demand is downward sloping due to the fact that as price rises, demand falls. The demand function is Qd = 74000 - 450P, therefore when quantity is 0, price is $164.45 and when price is $60, quantity demanded is 47000. Producer surplus is highlighted underneath the demand curve, and at $60, with a set quantity of 33930 seats, it is 2035800. This amount shows the willingness of suppliers to produce at this amount. 1b) When ticket prices are $60, quantity demanded is 47000, however, only 33930 seats are supplied. A situation where quantity demanded, exceeds quantity supplied a shortage arises in the market for seats, therefore producers must increase prices to bring the market back to equilibrium, where the amount supplied is equal to quantity demanded. This means a shortage of 13070 seats is created. In order to obtain market equilibrium, ticket prices should be $89.05 so that the shortage is eliminated. 1c) When tickets are at equilibrium price ($89.05), producer surplus increased to a point where it is maximised. At this point producer surplus is 3021466.5, increasing from the original (2035800) and thus now capitalized. Consumer...

...about the negative aspects of Pororo. Mothers turn on Pororo for their kids, in the hope that it will have educational benefits. However, contrary to many mothers’ belief, Pororo can have some negative effects on children’s education in terms of intellectual, physical/social, and emotional development. First of all, Pororo can have a negative effect on a child’s intellectual development. Watching TV affects children’s brain activity to become passive towards learning. Studies show that watching TV reduces alpha waves, which is associated with relaxed meditative states. This creates “mind fog” state which means people feel it’s harder to concentrate and stay focused, like daydreaming (Carmichael). Thus if children watch the Pororo animation for a long time, their mind will be at a mental fog state which will make them harder to focus. This will lead to shortened attention span and even to attention disorder. There are already 1 numerous studies proving the link between TV addiction and ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. According to research, one hour increase in TV watching increases the probability of developing ADHD by 10% (qtd. in Song). ADHD...
