Hey class, my name is Christopher Waldron this is my second year studying at Tallulah Falls School and I am a senior in high school. I am from Panama City Panama, and I like to play baseball and go to the gym as a hobby; I also have 3 brothers. I want to learn a lot from this class and the main thing I want to do is understand other people’s behavior.
The information mentioned in the document is not precise since there really is no scientific proof to declare this. What I could observe in this reading was that they blamed the television for the attention span kids are having but what they didn't mention is that most of the things kids do is because they have learned them from their surroundings, meaning that a kid can watch television every day but if the parents balance the kid’s time this attention span issue won't happen, since the kid can: go to school, go to a sport practice, the park, etc. In other words, activities where the kid can learn how to socialize with other kids and even adults so they learn the significant difference of how to treat an older person compared to a kid of his age or close to it. In my opinion, kids are obviously not being raised as back in the times, those times when television didn't exist, those times when the only entertainment you had was to go out and play with your neighbors. This has changed for many reasons like the danger kids face when they play outside nowadays. it definitely was precise in the part where they mention that the types of program does affect the child's behavior or reaction. if the kid watches too much violence on the TV there is a high chance that it will affect his behavior in a bad way since the kid's brain is immature and most of them still don't know what is good or bad.
