Argumentative Essay

Do young people today make a good use of a leisure time? Or they spent too much times
watching television and playing video games, instead of taking part on more proactive
activities.

Nowadays, there are many entertainments that have been introduced to us

especially to the young people. Some of those entertainments are good and some are not
good to them which those are depends on how people use or value it such as television,
internet, outdoor games and many more. Young people today mostly spent too much
times watching television and playing video games, rather than use their leisure times
with something that give more benefit to them such as playing sports, traveling or joining
social activities.

Young people like kids and teenagers like watching the television because they
spent more time watching cartoons, movies and dramas than do their works. Recently,
kids like watching cartoons such as Ben 10, Shin Chan, Spongebob Square pants and
Wonder Pets. As we all know, not all of the cartoons are giving bad influence for the
children such as Wonder Pets where this cartoons able to teach the children to learn how
to cooperate with others and help them if they are in trouble as they always say, “What’s
gonna work, team work!”. In directly, this slogan will stick on their heart and help them
learn good things. In contrary, cartoon such as Shin Chan can give bad influence to kids.
For example is my younger sister. She takes the underwear and put it on her head, just
same like Shin Chan always do.

Besides, teenagers are exposed to the violence by watching television such as

WWE, where always show about violence, fighting with others just for a belt. This can
actually influence the teenagers because they are tending to follow the actions like
wrestling with others. For example, recently there is a case where a boy wrestling his
brother until his brother died. This can show that, young people can do something out of
their mind, if they want to do so. So that, we have to prohibit some of that program and
avoid them from practice violence in their daily life.
 In addition, when young people have leisure time, most of them are tend to waste
their time in playing video games. For example, we can see that after school time, many
of the students like to go to the cyber cafe and playing games for quiet a long time. Even
there are a research has state that video game can promote the brain development, but this
can only happen when they are playing good games that ask them to think strategies in
solving problems yet. However, playing video games will give more disadvantages as it
is wasting their time and reduce their skill.
