life is unpredictable......

Nowadays, television has been an important source of entertainment. Watching television also is also an alternative way for many people to relax after a hard day’s work. Consequently, it is assumed that ninety per cent of households in developed countries have at least one television set (Sharif 1999). Thus, it reflects the importance of television in most of the families. Nevertheless, many people express their concern on excessive views of television. According to American Time Use Survey (2003), men and women have spent most of the time per day watching television rather than other activities. Thus, I strongly believe that television viewing can bring negative effects, for instance the acceptance of violence, certain skills development has been neglected, and promote unhealthy lifestyle.


Firstly, the negative effect of television viewing is the acceptance of violence by the children. While television is a popular source of entertainment, the content depicted including violence in television can have negative effects on the viewers mainly the youngsters. Most of the programs such as the news depicted at prime time shows graphic violence (Sharif 1999). From a research, children who like to watch violent programs from television continually become more aggressive (Sharif 1999). Thus, this makes them become less sensitive and increases their aggressiveness since this violence is often portrayed to be fun and acceptable. As a result, children may accept that violence is a normal part of life (Sharif 1999). At the end, they may think that it is a natural way to solve problems.


In addition, I strongly believe that children who watch television excessively may turn to be less skilled. According to Leigh (2001), children find it is difficult to focus on their homework when the television is on. Thus, children who watch television excessively are among the poor students at school (Jones 2001). Since television viewing is a passive activity, children do not develop the creative skills to enhance fictitious character, situations and make-believe worlds (Jones 2001). These skills are necessary to enhance their ability in decision making, and provide them with solution to solve problems. As a result, their organizational ability improves. Thus, I strongly agree that children can get impressive result in exam and their ability to solve problems improves if they can spend less time on television.


Moreover, excessive television viewing promotes unhealthy lifestyle among the viewers. Children are not being physically active when they spend more time in front of television (Sharif 1999). The time that they have used to watch television creates opportunity cost as they may not be able to use the time for exercise or homework (Rutherford 2002). Viewing television with snacks or junk foods is the common habit created by the viewers. As a result, viewers may be suffered from obesity and other related diseases (Rutherford 2002). In addition, viewers may also be suffered from withdrawal symptoms when something occurs to prevent them from the viewing (Rutherford 2002). Thus, viewers would have lived in a healthy lifestyle if they can reduce the time spending in front of television.


As a conclusion, television viewing can bring harmful effects if viewers spend too much of their time in front of television. Excessive television viewing promotes the children with violence as most of the programs portrayed in television are not suitable for them. As a result, they may turn to be more aggressive and violence. In addition, children cannot develop the important skills needed by them if they are addicted to television. So, when the problems arise, they may give up easily and become frustrated (Sharif 1999). Furthermore, excessive viewing of television encourages unhealthy lifestyle. It is because the viewers spend most of their precious time in front of television rather than exercise or travel. Moreover, the habit of having snacks or fast foods while watching television can leads to obesity. Last but not least, I strongly believe that television viewing creates negative effects to viewers.

This article is about a girl namely Nona Belomesoff who is a Facebook user. She was found dead after she is missing from home after arranging a camping trip with two men she met on Facebook. The police have arrested a 20-years old Leumeah man and they have continuously doing the investigation to find one more guy who is believed to be with Nona during the camp. From my point of view, I think we should not go out with the person we don’t know them although they are ‘friends’ in Facebook. It is because we might be killed or we might be injured by them as we don’t know them deeply. Lastly, we should use Facebook wisely as it gives us more benefits than side effects.

The issue of banning the selling of junk food by the school canteens has caused havoc among the society. According to Smith (2005), junk food is defined as any food that is unhealthy and gives no nutrition from its consumption. Junk foods such as cookies, chips and soft drinks contain low nutritional value (Health Foundation 2005). Therefore, junk food is being blamed for the rise of children’s health problems (Smith 2005). Thus, I strongly believe that the sale of junk food in school canteens should be banned because excessive consumption of junk food leads to health problems among children, litter problems and childhood attitude problems.


Firstly, the negative effect of the excessive consumption of junk food is that it leads to health problems among children. Junk food that contains high in fat, salts and sugar is usually contributes to obesity among children (Tran 2005). In future, it will leads to more serious health problems such as heart diseases, osteoarthritis and cancer (Tran 2005). Furthermore, the Dental Association is influencing the state government to ban the sale of soft drinks in school canteens due to the decreasing in childhood dental health (Weekend News 2005). According to Steven Reynolds, the sale of junk food in school canteens significantly influence the children thought that they can eat junk food anytime they want without any consequences (Weekend News 2005). Thus, the sale of junk food in school canteens should be banned to avoid any further consequences.


In addition, I strongly believe that the sale of junk food in school canteens should be banned as junk food contains chemical addictives that lead to behavioral problems among children. These chemical addictives are added into junk food to fuel up the taste and color (Smith 2005). However, these addictives cause children to be hyperactive and poor concentration during the class. Thus, their learning potential is decreased (The Food Show 2005). Children cannot get the sufficient nutrients they need for growth and healthy development if they eat too much of junk food (The Food Show 2005). Thus, reducing the sale of fast food in schools can improve their character and health (The Food Show 2005).


Moreover, junk food packaging also contributes to the litter problems in schools. Cans, crisp packets and plastic containers from junk food are not treated well by the students. As a result, the schools end up by having a dirty compound and cause inconvenience surrounding in schools. According to Smith (2005), litter problems reflect the bad image of our societies and schools have to spend more on the cleaning costs. Schools that have decline the sale of junk food in their canteens can reduce the litter problem (Smith 2005). The schools grounds man can have more time on maintaining the school’s project rather than cleaning the grounds for the whole day (The Food Show 2005). Thus, to ensure the school has a better environment, the sale of junk food in school canteens should be banned.


As conclusion, the sale of junk food in school canteens should be banned because the excessive consumption of junk food leads to childhood health problems. Apart from that, the chemical additives that are found in junk food lead to behavioral problems among children. Furthermore, the school needs to spend more money to ensure the school has better environment for effective learning. Thus, schools can take the responsibility to encourage the healthy eating habits by educating the youngster through food policies (Tran 2005). Last but not least, I strongly agree that the sale of junk food in school canteens should be banned.
