How do movies or television influence people’s behavior
Great things have taken place in human society along development of technology and
movies or television are a big part of this. Such entertaining methods affect on people's
behavior un many ways. I believe that television and especially movies are one of the
major and outstanding achievements of humankind. Every movie makes an impression
on people. How big this impression Is depends on a person, his characteristic features,
his weak or strong sides. Movies and television also can make people more violent.

The more we see violent acts on television, the less sensitive we become to them.
Eventually violence doesn't seem wrong. We may event commit violent acts ourselves.
This is especially true because we don't always realize that violence has consequences.
Actors can be killed and come back for another movie.

Sometimes we confuse that we reality. We forget that killing someone is permanent.

Course watching movies and television be good for us. It can give us a broader
Windows on the world. For example seeing movies and expose us to people of different
races and cultures. We can them overcome some prejudices more easily. Recently
there have been more handicapped people in film and this also helps reduce prejudice.
De best influence on our behavior is that movies and television reduce stress.

Watching film, we can escape our own problems for a little while. Also sometimes
movies show positive ways to resolve problems with all face. While tv and movies
shouldn't be a way to hide from life, sometimes can help us cope. First of all movies and
television influence people's thinking and action, especially the youth who are
vulnerable. For instance violence and sexual scenes result in young people cruel
behavior. According to media, there have been serial murders which committed un
school china, and some scientists believed that the serious actions may involve in so
many violence scenes in the media.

secondly people who spend too much time to watch movies or television can get
addicted and tend to have sedentary lifestyle. They seldom do exercise and get fatter.
Obviously this is not good for their health and relationships between family members.
Some housewives, for example, spend so much time watching tv that some of them for
get to prepare meals for their family or neglect their children. This behavior may affect
negatively on the family relationships.

In contrast, movies and television play significant role in entertaining people. Therefore
people's behavior csn change positilely after they feel relax. Un addiction, some kinds of
movies or tv programs contain moral value which help people distinguish between
wrong and right.

Furthermore some tv channels such as discovery and animal planet can raise people's
awareness of enviromental protection. Movies can lead us to high aims. they can have
stories of people who made great sacrifices for their noble ideas. Thus movies teach us
how important struggle is for success. In this connection movies on great people like
Abrahán Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Kamal ataturk and the quaid-e-Azam deserve
special praise.

Informative or educative movies are generally scientific, historical, political and cultural.
Scientific film brings home to us new inventions and discoveries. They inform us about
new asventures of man. These can be un our own language or in foreign languages.
Historical and political movies inform us about the great empires like the chinese and
roman. Cultural movies let us know about religions, arts, literatures and traditions of
different societies. Movies can have a negative influence in a number of ways. There
are movies about criminals. They present their crimes in attractive ways. Movies with
accidents and stories having negative effect upon character should be avoided.

The invention for television and movies influence people's behavior so much, wether
that behavior is good or bad, they make them have new habits, new clothes and new
information. For example when the young people wath movies like super man and
spider man they try to do what they have seen in the movie, they Will jump from high
Places which migh harm them, or the people who watch the famous stars in the tv like
Tom cruez, or madonna, trying to imitate their hairstyle and wear same clothes like
them, those have absulotely obvious impact. In brief, movies and television obviusly
affect on people's behavior. However if people can limit amount of time they spend to
watch and choose proper flims and channels, people Will have benefits and can prevent
the disadvantages.
