the influence of the visual media

　　
I'm a movieholic as well as a TV-holic. In my eyes, there is no doubt that watching movies and television can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored.

　　One obvious effect of these media is that we can know every kind of information by watching them. they are the small window of the change world.For example, the most common thing we see through them is advertise. Television advertising is widespread and,nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. There are usually left 20 minutes for advertisers introduce their products in the movie cinema.And lots of them would be preview of some new films, which attract audience a lot.
Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted one, depending on what type of program they watch.Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Take thriller movie for further explanation, some people know that they would be scared but they still want to have such experience. It mostly because they want to get out of their current situation and release themselves from daily pressure by a extreme way.Movies, TV shows all present the different visual angles of our thoughts, in order to allow us to understand the world much better.
Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see on TV or in the movies.Sometimes it will bring them nice dream even lead their life goals. While sometimes it only shows illusory and has negative effect on children's growth. Such as violent movies, once one addicted to it, it would be hard to avoid fight in one's real life.

therefore, though i love watching movies and TV shows, i am not a totally supporter of watching them too much.Considering the influence they bring,we should explore more about our real life and gain useful experiences from it not in movie or TV.
