Many people, including my mom, don't allow their children to watch a lot of television because they say it is not educational. But this totally depends on people's opinions and what kinds of shows they watch.
Of course, if the only shows you watch are cartoons and movies, it wouldn't be educational. People will gain nothing but fun and fat from lying on the sofa for hours when watching these kinds of shows. But those are not the only kinds of shows on television. This type of show is educational for sure.
News channels, like ABC, NBC, Fox News, and CCTV, keep us updated on world and national events, news, and hot issues. For example, when I watched the President’s Debate on NBC at the end of last year, I learned about some of the national issues that concerned people and that the candidates promised to improve. Also, on some of the sports channels, they tell us about numerous games, including soccer, football, golf, tennis, and swimming. We can also watch the Olympics, and see which country is in the lead with medals.
Food shows are also educational. My mom loves food shows, and she always writes the instructions for recipes down. If I have to learn to cook when I grow up, these food shows can teach me to cook various dishes. Many people have learned to make delicious meals that they never thought existed, from watching these shows. They are a very good platform for people who love food.(That’s me!)
But what I’m saying doesn’t mean that some cartoons and movies aren’t educational. A few of the cartoons I watched have many useful morals. Movies can also widen people’s minds.
In all, I think that television is still considered educational. But even so, this is just an opinion, and I am open to any suggestions.
