tv is a significant influence on behaviour, so selection of shows is important, but then again wat they dont see on tv they'll see in society so ???
"all things are lawful for me but all things are not helpful"
wats UBI? anyways i think tv is a waste of time, it takes u away from time with God but also with ur family,

altho i wudnt say to kids straight off tv is a waste of time, but it is unbelievable the amount of tv kids these days watch how is it benefiting them? altho there r sum shows i wudnt oppose to
tv is soo addictive.. it wastes so much time in wich we can be worshiping God.. but ofcourse we cannot tell a child not to watch tv.. so i think make theres more God than tv comming in .. daily prayers and bible reading && LESS TV are some things you can do .. [worldly music & the net fall under the same category, tell them to be careful ! ]
arabic movies n soaps? lol nice but oh well, not too much and children won't understand it anyway they dunno arabic in europe n us so only adults wud enjoy that really lol
Sometimes atleast
LoL
im more concerned about the content that young people and children are exposed to

hahahaha.......Nice way of putting it mira......lol.......
but ya mira is right it depends on whose point view about what is right and wht is wrong. for american society, shows that expose sexual intercoarse (sp?) are ok, but for egyptians: um.......haykasaro el television laow get 7aga zay keda
True...!

so....... how does that justify anything??? whats your point??
sex ed. is done during high school too in australia and im certain everywhere else around the world, its part of education, egyptian parents dont give their kids 'THE TALK', they learn safe sex etc at school and from peers
some tv shows are quite inappropraite for certain ages, how is it benefiting young teens to watch 'sex and the city' for example, its only creating lust, and the amount of swearing that comes out of young children these days is disgusting. the theory of monkey see monkey do is so true, through observation we learn and often take into account and apply what we see into our lives
there was a study done on tv and violence which stated that;
Immediately after exposure to media violence, there is an increase in aggressive behavior tendencies because of several factors. 1. Aggressive thoughts increase, which in turn increase the likelihood that a mild or ambiguous provocation will be interpreted in a hostile fashion. 2. Aggressive (or hostile) affect increases. 3. General arousal (e.g., heart rate) increases, which tends to increase the dominant behavioral tendency. 4. People learn new aggressive behaviors by observing, and will reenact them almost immediately afterwards if the situational context is sufficiently similar.
i know people learn alot from society and their environment too but why shove a tv in a kids face simply to re-emphasis whats happeining or what they observe in society
everyone says tv is bad then watches it...everyone apart from monk-fathers lol
the only tv i watch is the football and i still get annoyed at the stupid alcohol ads in between
Romans 12:2
And do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God
finally, all things may be lawful for us but not all things may be helpful
i don't think it was meant to say that it was benefiting just that for american parents things like that on tv are ok for them, for they practice it anyway from a very young age (or no limite to age at all) ........for egyptians a girl must be 3ala sengat 3ashera...so ya.....no one said tv is benefiting just that some see it as ok!
so american parents think its ok for their kids to watch shows like that because its become part of the american culture or norm mmmmm interesting
just because things are accepted in society doesnt necessarily always mean that we should abide by them or conform. most societies see tv as ok, so its not only america
im only saying that we should be wary of what we watch and what our young brothers and sisters are watching
remember everything a child sees remains in their memory, its amazing the stuff they remember, so we need to be careful that they dont watch the wrong things
god bless n take care
what happened to pokemon, ka3bool, and tom and jerry????
I don't know ya anbabola; however, I still watch them!
Real People's show are just boring!
