IS TELEVISION HELPFUL OR HARMFUL FOR OUR SOCIETY?

 As we know, television is one of the most used inventions today. Most people have a television at home. But it´s important to know that television could have some positives and negatives aspects and how it can influence in the development of our brain.

On the one hand, television has an enormous variety of programs that can be entertaining and with which you can learn many things such as documentaries and cooking programs. Moreover, television allows us to be informed about the events that happen around the world and even know what´s the weather in any part of the world. This is a privilege today, since years ago we could not know.

On the other hand, as I said before, television gives us many programs that can be entertaining, however, there are many other "garbage programs" that all they do is damage our brain. Many studies show that more and more young children spend more time watching television than any other activity. Surely if you went to a restaurant, you would see mothers who entertain their children with cartoons on a screen.

All in all, televisions can be good for keeping us informed about the events that happen in the world. Nevertheless, we should be careful about how many hours our children and us spend in front of a screen because it can be very bad for the development of our brain.
