Today television violence and its effect on viewer and lives of children is researched by psychologists,some of them believe that the favorite program is action and causing them to act in more aggressive, it is dangerous for society,however the programs of TV can be harmful or beneficial in all the time but these days programs are much more different and pernicious than before for these reasons:

TV is important thing for all people. All people can see a lot of programs on TV. Some people like to see news, sports, movies, childrens programs. But in fact, some people spend a lot of time with TV programs. Let's compare today and then TV. It is very different .When I was teenager or child, I like to see a lot of programs .They were very interesting. My parents could leave me and I saw TV self. Yes, today we have too a lot of interesting programs. But when we begin to see some programs they interrupt each other, like political, sex and a lot of different ads. And today I can’t leave to see my children TV self because they would see a lot of indecent.

Right now we have a lot of TV programs. We can see different programs about news, sports, love, religions, children’s programs and egh. In the USA every family has a TV or computer. We can choose everyone program, what we like. When I was child, the TV was not colored. Not every family had a TV in their house, because it cost very expensive. When I was child I liked to see special children’s programs. It was very good. Sometimes I can see old program. I saw it when I was child. There are very good programs but now we have in 10 times mote programs then 20years ago. Many programs is not so good for us and our children. Children’s programs usually have a lot of fantastic. Many children spend 8 or more hours around TV programs every day. After many years he or she would have problems with eyes. And many political programs tell and watch bad news. Many program harmful for us and our children. We should be pay attention, when we make choice program for our children.

TV plays very important role. This includes political issues, advetisement,culture,sports, science information,news,education,entetasinment and so on. I like many aspects of modern TV in the USA,and my family and I enjoy watching programs on PBS.There are many programs on this channel that are very good.People can choose what they want to watch. When I was young,I lived in Russia.Tt was time of Cold War and domination of Communist ideology in my country. TV was under strict control of the Government and Communist party. TV was ideological.That was naturaly negativ. But there were many good programs because many interested and educated people worked on TV at that time.They had been producing many interesting programs,and it was very good for me.There were science,culture,education,sport,and many kinds of TV programs.They were very helpful for many people. Now,amount of information has increased rapidly. There are a lot of different channels on TV. Some of them are vital. They show different culture and give neded information for people. The do great job in education people. Our favorite TV station is PBS. Thus there are some problems like excessive advertisement for example.

TV program’s changed since my childhood. When I was young, I saw many interesting programs, movies, and cartoons. Some of them I liked so much, so watching made me fanny and happy. In my opinion, TV changed for many reasons. First of all, I didn’t have a choice because I had just the one channel. Always, I waited for the time when movie or cartoons will begin. In contrast, now we have a lot of channels ,so we have choice. Second, in my native country we have just funny and happy cartoons or movies, but now we can see a lot of scary and bad of them. There are many things that changed TV, such as political or junior programs which are harmful for us and our children. In conclusion, TV’s changed from my childhood for many reasons. In my opinion, now it has bad contain of some programs.

TV programs always plays an important role in our life. Obviously,TV programs has been changed wiht developing and growht of the human. When I was a child wathing TV didn't take most of our time and the people knew to do to enjoy themselves.There were not a lot of varities of programs. Those rare musconcerts and lovely movies we were awaiting with unpassion, politices and news as well. We believed what we heared on hte news.Now hte TV have made great changes in hte entertainments with wish people fill hteir free time. There are a lot of new movies. You can always find the film you like thrillers, detective, love, musical film, comedies. Add a lot of manyseries movies. Not so long ago add many TV shows and TV begins to dominate our live and people are passive when wath TV. There are also too much pop musik and ads.News has changed too. News show too much violence and I don't believe the news propaganda. We have now too much politices and commercials.TV became commercialized. Ads on the whole are convenient for grown-ups, but it isn't for children to watch all tose ads where they show all kinds underweer and more.

Yes, TV programs have changed a lot compared to when I was child. In my childhood TV programs already had a lot of different programs and TV show, but when I’m looking back I understand that TV shows these days are totally different. When I was a little girl we had up to ten channels to watch and that’s if we are lucky. Today we have hundreds and hundreds of different kinds of channels with a lot of different TV shows and movies. But for us long time ago, ten channels was enough and that’s all we needed and also it was easy to find the shows you wanted. Today you have so much channels and TV shows that you can’t even find the program that you are looking for. I always look at modern movies, cartoons, funny TV shows and understand that times have changed.

TV programs - one of the most mass means of distribution of the information. For example, political, cultural, informative, educational. Many people like to spend so much time watching TV. Millions of people are watching television to get a detailed and often exquisitely crafted look into lives and activities where we can never go. At some people to watch TV it simply habit or they have a lot of free time. When I was small I spent time with my friends playing outside more than watched TV. But I remember that I watched every evening television children's program "Good night kids". Also it is somehow remembered that TV programs and films were any more sincere, not that now. It seems to me that now in some TV programs and films show more violence, injustice and bad mutual relations between people and the countries. The advertising considerable quantity , was not so much advertising earlier, and now they have simply captivated all TV. But it only my opinion and it does not mean that everything is bad in this world. Also there are many good TV programs and films from which we learn something new to ourselves. There are more various programs on all tastes. More information programs, news became various, objective. There are much entertaining programs, a show, a talk show. It is more than entertainment events for youth. There are many new children's TV programs from which our children study good manners, which prepare them for school. Similar children's TV programs were when I was the child, but they were not such interesting, were not such colourful. If our today's TV to compare that was earlier it is possible to tell that it has changed to the best.

When I compare TV programs from my childhood and now, I think they are changed. We live in modern time and everything is changed. The design and graphics are more modern and colorful. Many programs changed their style. For example, children’s programs were more real. There were real people, animals, etc. If I watch TV it looks good color, design. It looks so modern. We have more channels, programs now. We have programs where we can learn foreign languages, math, biology etc. We have many nice programs that we did not have before. However, there are some programs that scare me. I see many bad things that I do not want to see them, even do not know them. We can see many things that were forbidden before. In summary, I would like to say that now we have programs that need at this time. Earlier, we had programs that needed at that time. I like that time more and I like that programs more. I mean programs when I was a small child. They were more real, kinder, and more moral.

I remember when I was a child there were only a few television set owned by some rich people in my home town. Every night, I used to go to our neighbor’s house to watch TV. The TV program was broadcasted from 8pm -12pm daily, and each day showed different programs: news, sport, drama, comedy, music, and movie. I enjoyed the programs, and it was really good at that time. In comparison the programs from the past to the present, there are differences. First, now I have TV and TV dish that helps me to watch many programs without limited time. Second, I can see various TV programs from different channels. Even though, some programs have a lot of violence, but I have options. I think TV programs at the present are better than the past.

When I was young, I was not used to watch TV. It was producing black and white color only. Next, it had only few channels. Furthermore, the programs were boring. Anyway, I was not enjoying watching it. Now, instead of watching TV, I would watch movies over internet. Without doubt, TV programs have been changing every day. They are more creative, humor, and interesting. There are two things that are significantly changed. The first remarkable change of the TV program is their color. The second change of the TV programs is called High Definition. These two changes surprise me. I am impressed.

Television programs have changed a great deal since I was a child watching shows like The Flintstones and The Jetsons. These cartoons were more fun and family oriented than current cartoons such as The Simpsons and south Park. You would never see vices such as alcohol and drug abuse on the older shows. The newer ones seem to make these vices seem acceptable, maybe even glorified. I think that this is leading to a decline in our young people today.

Many people believe that television has changed the world. For some, these changes are negative, for others they are positive. For me it is one hundred percent negative. Television is getting progressivly worth comparing to the time I was a small child. I remember I had only three tv stations on my tv and it was more than enough. All my favorite movies from the time I was a kid. I’ve been watching these movies again and again and they still interested and fun for me. People had more time reading ,enjoying fresh night air, spending time with each other.

I'd like to write about some changes in TV programs since I was a child. It does't have many changes because it wasn't so long time ago. First of all, in my childhood we couldn't see so many interesting kids programs during all week. Also,movies and many TV programs didn't have a violence and many sexual scences. In my opinion, the TV program has one bad change. However, many televisions prefer to show movies and programs which are interesting for public, but often they are dangerous for it. For example, movies which contain violence, sexual scence, and drug using may influence people's behavior in one negative way. I think the goverment must take control of the television companies. It will protect our children from dangerous program.On other side, the TV programs had and have some good aspects. For instance, they are an easy way to learn different languages, they impruve general knowledges. One good point about television is that it helps us to relax and escape. People forget about their problems when they're watching movie. In movies everything seems so easy compared to the real life. That's why some people prefer to do it. In conclision, TV has both good and bad impact on people. It is important that people avoid disadvantages and gather advantages.

TV programs have been changed a lot compared to those when I was a kid. Some programs were better but some programs were worse, in other words it depends on the categories: because of rapid improvements in broadcasting equipments, or technology, some TV programs are much better than TV programs in 1988’s. For example, sports broadcasts and science programs are more realistic and fantastic. Today’s’ sports broadcast deliver all the detailed moments. Sometimes I am under the false impression that I am watching the game in the field. But in dramas or cartoons case, I think they are getting worse. The programs in 80’s are more humanitarian, moral and warmer than these days’s program.

I just came to the US eight years, so I have no idea how the US TV programs have changed. If you don’t mind I can tell you about the TV programs in my country, Thailand. Yes, they have changed so much like any else. I will say two main things that I can see what have changed with the TV programs in my country. They are the air time and the variety of entertainment. In the past 30 years, the TV air time was shorter. It started from 6.00am and ended at 10.00pm. I remember every time when I tried to turn the TV on. I always heard my MOM said either, “Time to go to school. or “Time to go to bed.” Now a day, the air time has changed by starting earlier in the morning, 3.ooam and ending at midnight. WOW! It is a big changed, isn’t it? That is not enough. The sound change is a variety of entertainment. Since the day I could remember, I had a hard time to find any show for kinds as my young age. The most programs on TV were for adults. Such as news, education and old movies. I will say, that time I just sat down with my family and looked at the TV. I didn’t watch the TV at all because I didn’t like the show and I didn’t know what they were talking about on TV. Today, there are more programs for kids which start in the morning. Later of the day, there are movies time, music and concert as well. Around 8.oopm is time for the news. It will be going on for an hour. After that, it time for adult programs but they are not dirty movies or bad shows. They are just more violent and not safe for kinds to watch.

Everyone knows how big influence television makes on people. By systems of communicaton goverments can impose standarts of life, state what is good and what is bad, tell us what we have to think... When I was child I had beeh tought by TV programs to do something good and moral, now we hear and see violence, conflicts, and, simply, bad news. It looks like there is almost nothing good in this world, immorality is more cool than morality, lying is better than honesty. One man told once, when we change our environment, than we change our fate. Maybe therefore after moving from goodness to evil on TV we became more bad.

No doubt, TV programs were changed since I was a child. In my country , around thirty years ago, we had only three government channels. I spend very short time for TV because a had a lot of friends outside. There were mostly political news and shows because of cold war between USSR and USA. But I've been interested to see TV only in Sunday or Saturday because it was time for programs about animals, fantasy movie, cartoons. In 90's TV started to entertain us more then early. A lot of new commercial channels offered different shows. Also, we got more educational programs. Today, we have internet, satellite TV that offers to viewing more than two hundred different channels. Mostly, there are trash programs, stupid and nasty shows. The violence is present in the programs for children, cartoons. Early, the programs for children were better than today. But educational programs become better because of new technology, abilities to discover something with more details. However, I'm never watching news on TV. I don't trust them. I like to watch news by internet . I'm researching news from different sources.

The programs on TV 20 years ago was very different, before, a show for kids was only special for kids, no bad words or sexual situations, now almost all the kids shows have some adult content. One of the shows never going to change is the news; actually they are improving all the time in technology and reports. In one way the programs are better now because you are well informed in a short time.

Today’s TV programs keep busy millions and millions of people in the whole world watching different kinds of programs. Millions and millions of different people are addicted to TV programs, and that is because the media industries are very developed. I know that people want to spent time watching TV everywhere because it’s became their main event spending time. When I was a child we only had one black and white TV, which had only 5 or 7 channels, which were broken sometimes. Then we bought a new TV with color display, it was something different, every channel was looking different than black and white TV. Now there are hundreds of channels on TV. There are big screens TVs now, no one could even imagine that we are going to have these. Now you can choose topics of channels which you would like to watch, for example:

When I was a child I didn't really watched TV programs just because I didn't like them. I just did't like watching TV at all. But what I think is that before they were better because before you could actually learn something good from them. But now store owners and others they just make all kinds of TV programs just to make people want to buy their stuff that they sell. They say how good it is and how cheap it is and like I said they say anything just to make people buy something. This is my opinion I don't know if it's right or wrong but that is what I think.
