THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF TELEVISION IN OUR LIFE

To the honorable juries, teachers, participants, and all the audiences… Assalamu’alaikum Wr.Wb. Ladies and gantlemen… Let us say Alhamdulillahirabbil’alamin to the Almighty Allah SWT, let us send our salaam and shalawat to our beloved prophet Muhammad SAW. Before I deliver my speech, I would like to say thank you very much for the MC who has given me chance to join this English speech contest. Brothers and sisters… I would like to deliver my speech entitled: “The Negative Effects of Television in our Life”. Television is a popular form of communication medium in any household. It has also become an important part in our daily life. It cannot be denied that television from which we get information and entertainments, has contributed to the improvement of our society. But, on the contrary, I think television tends to have a tremendous influence on its viewers. Ladies and gentlemen… Instead of its advantages, the presence of television also affects negatively on our society. First, based on the recent research, people of all ages use this media to entertain themselves for an average of five hours a day. The content exposure of TV, of course, will influence the viewers, not only their thinking but also attitudes. This can be seen from the fact that many criminalities are inspired from the scene of TV. Second, people can be adversely influenced by constant watching TV. They less participate in physical and social activities, spend less time reading and working, and see a work of violence that can affect their feeling of security. The last, commercial advertisements on TV can be a kind of brain washing. Physicologically, constant show of advertisements will create people’s images about one product. No wonder people are easier to remember the motto or slogan of an advertisement than to retrieve information that they have learned. The participants and audiences… Based on my explanation above, it is clear that TV will be a kind of monster if we cannot manage it well. It is very important for us to handle and manage the presence of television in order to overcome the negative effects of television, especially for children and young generation. That is my speech. I hope it will be useful for us. Thank you very much for your attention. Wassalamu’alaikum Wr.Wb.
