TASK 2

Nowadays, many films are made

especially for children. It is undeniable
that such movies can be very fruitful
for children. However, effect of movies is
not always beneficial. In the following
paragraphs, I intend to discuss the positive
and negative effects of movies on
children.
On the positive side, there are many merits on
children for watching such movies. Firstly,
movies have positive influence on a
child’s growth. To elaborate, films are used
to enhance learning among children as various
type of culture and traditions are shown in
movies which help them to understand the
theoretical school subjects more precisely.
Secondly, movies also act as stress buster
for youngsters. In the present school life
students have numerous subjects and really have
a hectic work schedule, so when they come
home and watch movies of their favourite stars,
they feel relaxed and relieved from daily stress
of their studies.
On the downside, children can be negatively
affected by movies in various ways. In movies,
children can be negatively affected by
watching particular offensive
scenes. Illustrating it, some movies contain
violence drug abuse and offensive language
which can really put bad impact on children’s
behaviour. Subsequently, watching too many
movies can astray children from their
main aims. Because watching too many movies
can impede the development of healthy habits
like playing outdoor games, reading and
spending quality time with family. Children who
are avid film viewers are more likely to suffer
from obesity related problems throughout their
lives.
In conclusion, I reckon that everything has
its pros and cons, movies too can have both –
good and bad influences. It is very important
for parents to check the movie
ratings before allowing their children to
watch any movies. The best thing for parents
could be to watch movies with their
children. Watching movies together could be
very rewarding experience, and then the
effects can be largely positive.
