Watching Soap Operas and Dramas Daily is Bad

Television is the most popular form of entertainment in every household in


Indonesia. However, I think watching television too much especially soap operas and
dramas can have negative impacts.
Firstly, the definition of soap opera is a television or radio drama series dealing
typically with daily events in the lives of the same group of characters. Technically, soap
operas is for entertainment in our daily life, but watching it all the time will be bad for your
mental health. Often, these shows makes a sense of distorted reality. Things that are
happening in soap operas rarely occur in everyday life, and this gives youngsters a wrong
picture of the world. We know that these dramas aren't real, but they leave a negative
impression on the viewers, especially teenagers. There are research too about how soap
operas can have long-term memory problems, about 7.3 times women can have it while
those who are watching soap operas were 13.5 times.
And the second one is dramas, i believe in this generation mostly teenagers
especially women are most likely have watched dramas. Like I said in soap operas, watching
something that’s not really display the current state of the world can make a fake sense of
reality, and that makes you to judge the world we live in. Still there will be no harm if you’re
watching dramas for fun, but if it’s getting in the way of physical and social activities and
causing you to become isolated, it's time for you to stop.
In conclusion, watching TV is good for for your entertainment, but watching dramas
and soap operas as a daily routine can make you to isolate or separate you from the reality,
even bad mental health such as depression. Let’s face the reality and judge our world
positively, even though the world current state is bad and makes us want to fantasize the
dramas or soap operas we watched, let’s just fight it for our future.
