During the Puritan period, any form of entertainment was banned and there was little fun to be had. Nowadays, an overflow of entertainment is available whether it be books, movies, games, or even news. Although entertainment is fun and loved by many, it has the potential to ruin modern society. Children are avid followers of entertainment, but they don’t realize the harm it brings to them. Since children are impressionable, they are easily influenced by other sources and entertainment becomes a big part of their lives. They attempt to imitate stunts seen on T.V. and are desensitized by the multiple accidents in shows. Kids could start to believe that they can be the same as the characters. For example, a child who watches Neverland might believe
on television they are more likely to imitate such acts at a younger age. When children watch violent shows they become more aggressive and they have more violent tendencies. Children view characters in T.V. shows as their role models when they see them doing risky acts they think that it is normal behavior, and are more likely to mimic the acts in their preteen years. Physiologist have linked childhood exposure to violence through media.When children watch television shows that are too mature for them they are more likely to see the world as a scary unsafe place. Even television that is designed for kids can send a message that fighting and destroying things is fun and acceptable.”Children under (age) 2 learn a lot by facial expression, tone of voice, and body language — much of which doesn’t translate well on a flat screen, especially in animated or cartoon form.”(Darice).Many shows today paint an unrealistic picture of what teen agers should look like and be like. When young kids see such things they are more likely to to try to live up to these standards even if that means taking substances or starving themselves to do it. Too much T.V. time can also lead to behavioral problems such as attention deficit disorder commonly known as ADD. Children who consistently watch four hours of television a day are more likely to be overweight. Physical activity is getting pushed aside in favor of Television shows
The life of the people from middle ages had a big impression of many severe issues. This time period was considered to be a miserable time in history, especially for the agricultural labor class man. That was a time of courageous fearless rulers. The kings and their stunning castles bear command over the countryside. The beauty of these places had continuously drawn visitors from across the globe. Despite of the fact that it had been a tough time for common man, several entertaining arts flowed through the medieval era. Irrespective of the basic living difference between rich and poor, everybody knew the significance of amusement and enjoyed taking a pause from the boredom, when required.
First, being so realistic can have negative effects on children. The show promotes bad behavior in almost every situation a kid may go through,
Several tv shows today have a negative influence on younger children for this reason perents should be wary of what their children watch on the televion. today many people think that show spongebob is a great show for children ,however the show spongebob encourages kids to make terrible decigions .for instance the eposide when Patrick wanted to act like the life guard larry and then persuaded spongebob to make bizzare and drastic stunts.

The first reason television influence the young is wrong role models because when the young see the television, they must remember and they must copy bad thing same actor in the television. The young like to see new any thing or something at difference about life then they must remember. The young don’t know anything good or some thing bad. They know it's new for they. And the young like to curious and don’t like force. They think they true, but some time not true. And they must believe models not believe they parent. Actor affect cause the young change
The Puritans had a major impact on American Literature. Many popular novels such as The Crucible by Arthur Miller and The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne were based on the idea of Puritanism. The Puritans were a group of people who believed in religious purity that started in Europe in the sixteenth century. In the early seventeenth century, many of these European Puritans moved to the newly discovered America where they settled in the colonies to continue practicing their religious beliefs (citation). The Puritans believed that God was ominous and good, while people were evil an insignificant (PowerPoint 2). Puritanism had a great influence on many things in American culture. The community and the church were of utmost importance and its followers must undergo “rigorous self-examination and a constant striving for betterment” (9 lit textbook). They had a strong belief in education, especially writing (PowerPoint 1). But while they valued literacy, only the Bible was an acceptable form of literature, everything else was considered sinful, especially any type of fiction (PowerPoint 1). When the Puritans did any writing, it was always in a very plain and straightforward style, similar to how the Bible is written. They did this because they believed that anything else was foolish and unimportant (PowerPoint 1). Many literary works during the Puritanism period were written with, “the impersonal absence of emotion and its personal expression” (547 power of sympathy). This
Imagine: A small kid is in class while their teacher explains the instructions to their math test. As the teacher hands out the test the class begins to flip through the test. Tap Tap Tap he is clicking his pencil against the grey table.While the bright students get to work he looks to the side of him and he scans the girls test and begins to copy everything down on his worksheet. He saw this on a TV show so he thinks it is okay. Kids that are younger will copy whatever they think is cool. If they see a cool in a cartoon they will try to copy him thinking that they can be him. Although TV can be educational, TV is more harmful because it steals time, causes health issues, and displays inappropriate images.
why the children are controlled by this show and how it affect them in their
Entertainment has a unique way of being significant in everyday lives. It especially has a huge impact on the daily lives of children. The readings Toys by Roland Barthes and Violent Media Is Good for Kids by Gerald Jones perfectly capture this idea. Toys and media are specifically important in a child’s life for the sole reason that they are educational. Although they may seem like they are robbing children of their innocence, toys and media are actually teaching children to not be ignorant. They symbolize many things that children do not fully understand in the present but in the future will realize. Adulthood is not all happiness, not all peaches and cream. It most definitely matters what age a child is exposed to adulthood, though. A toddler should not be hit with those monstrosities of adulthood, but adolescent children should definitely not be oblivious. In childhood, toys could expose a child to adult-like imitations that could further prepare them to be a responsible adult. Toys are an epitome of adult responsibility, and violent media is a gateway to adulthood. This only supports the idea that entertainment is a crucial in the lives of children in many significant ways.
Television is especially influential on the children of today. Thirty years ago, not every home had a television; they were considered a luxury that only the rich could afford. Now, most households have two televisions and children watch them incessantly. Many children's programs are extremely violent and a child can learn violent behavior from watching these programs. For example, about a month ago, in Norway, a small girl was beaten, stripped, and left to die by three boys aged 5, 6, and 6. When asked why
During childhood, children learn behaviors that some may obtain for the rest of their lives. Children are some of the most vulnerable humans when it comes to watching higher figures of their lives doing something, most likely you will find that child doing the same exact thing a day later. Whether they are learning these habits from their parents, older siblings, favorite television show, or a video game; they see these actions as a chance to do something new that is done by one of the things they look up to most. Since children are young, this also means they are not educated enough to know right from wrong, for the most part. In today’s society, parents are very busy and unaware of what their children are doing in their free time. Children spend a lot of their time receiving entertainment from harsh media that can cause a behavioral change. If parents continue not monitoring their children’s sources of entertainment, it can potentially affect our society on a much larger scale later on.
Growing up almost everything can influence a kids development, from friends to family to toys, music, and games. Children are fragile as they grow up into adulthood. they rely on the guidance of these sources to learn. That is why it is so important for us to watch what we expose to our children. This thought has gone into many things throughout the years. Television, certain books, movies, games all exposed to kids and contribute to a part of their development.
In the past, people created their own entertainment without the use of technology. All what people did was work, come back home, and work more or write. They did not have electricity to provide light, instead they used candles. When they gathered around at a feast or banquet people told stories to each other ,they also sang to each other. Some people even read for fun. People watched people die for fun too. Today we rely on technology for our entertainment; we wait for the ‘next big thing’. “Technology has become the great equalizer of the entertainment industry”, Chris Jordan once wrote. Entertainment in the 1500s was extremely different compared to today’s entertainment. The different types of social classes had their own type of fun too. The most popular entertainment was mostly sports, theaters and dancing during the 1500s.
The Puritans and the Founding Fathers both set out for a fresh start in the new world. They had similar ambitions of finding freedom, and building a new society. The Founding Fathers did play a large role in laying the foundation for the American lifestyle by writing up our Constitution, and Declaration of Independence. Yet, the Puritans embedded small traits into our society that takes a much larger role than we realize. They were the first to arrive in America, and share their beliefs of religious freedom, they also introduced the idea of a well educated society, and a strong work ethic never seen before.
The present world of entertainment production is unlike what was conceive in the past. Giddens believed that the world we live in today is filled with intense puzzling revolution that differ vastly as compared to the numerous generations altogether. Today, entertainment is readily available at our finger tips, ranging from computers, iPads and even right down to our smartphones in our pockets. However, things are very diverse back then, before the dawn of the internet and the Information Age, society would have experience entertainment in a distinct manner.
