Unplugged tvs do not equal better health, education and independence in society. Being healthy consists of more components than exercise alone; eating right, getting proper amounts of sleep, and so forth. Education is not influenced by television- it is our job to be focused on material and knowledge, our job to resist the sweet temptation to pick up the remote and indulge in some Family Guy or the latest episode of The Simpsons, to instead put your nose in a book or that pen to paper. Independence is learned from our experiences on our own- so how does television affect independence?
If you want to unplug all televisions to promote good health, why don't we remove all other sources of bad health? Let's get rid of McDonald's, alcohol, cigarettes. DIspose of butter, all fatty foods. Might as well rule out computers as well, laptops, Gameboys, and other handheld games. Education depends on us- it's called prioritizing. TV isn't to blame for these issues the parents who allow television to take over a kid's life are to blame.

ReplyDeletehuh? what? get rid of mcdonald's? certainly, you jest. ha ha i get your point though. it is really a matter of choice and moderation. all of it - food, alchohol, entertainment, etc. also, i love the graphic that you added to accompany your text.
ReplyDeleteI love how you word it by "unplug the tv." That's really creative. I also love the picture of the tv on there. It is very flashy and fun.
