Watching movies and television are one of the indispensable activities in our daily life. If not for movies and televisions, our life would be boring. Thus, I disagree that movies and television have more negative effects than positive effects for following reasons.

Firstly, movies and television as families’ activities help our families to maintain a close relationship. After one day busy working and exhausting learning, movies and television are good choices to help us relax ourselves and provide us talking topics. My parents and I enjoy watching television together. When we come across interesting news, I like to change my views with my parents. Sometimes this could cause a small debate among us, but this helps us know each other better. There being no movies or television, my parents and I would not have so many communications.

Secondly, movies and television are also channels that we share information and absorb knowledge that is not available from people around us. My career decision is also influenced by TV program to some extent. I come to US to pursuit my further career in Law school because I love “Boston Legal”. Movies and television are medium, we can get extra information from them and benefit from it.

Thirdly, although someone may argue that television and movie could have negative influence on us. Some young people may addict in Utopia life presented in movies and even can’t adapt themselves in the real world. I would argue that we can’t attribute these negative results to TV or movies. Young people need to be instructed and learn to make judgement by themselves. Had it not been for TV or movies, there would also be other medias occupy potential issues.

All in all, instead of worrying negative effects of television and movies, we would be better to find better method to instruct people to absorb positive effects from them. For me, watching movies and television are great activities.
