Anyone could not claim that s/he doesn’t watch TV. TV is in our life whether we want it to be. If we look at TV as a drug metaphor, it says TV is a drug with its effects and giving up this drug is very difficult. However, it is not the case for everyone. I believe in that there are conscious viewers who know what to do. They should know when they will watch TV and when they won’t. These people don’t use TV like a drug.
On the other hand most people couldn’t be a conscious viewer. They tie up TV with strong bonds like they are addicted to this object. They watch TV sometimes because of running away from problems, sometimes just to have fun etc. However, TV has covered their big part of life although they are not aware of that.
When we look at the effects of TV a little bit, we can see TV creates passivity, this passivity could harm people’s health and also we can see that most of the family rituals are being destroyed by TV. In fact, most affected ones are children, while they are in learning process and also they have more sensitive body that could be easily affected.
The most important thing here is, these people who use TV like a drug should be shown that they can live without TV and they can give up using this drug.
