Violent Crimes By Juveniles
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 868.... imagination by watching. All the trash that is seen on TV takes its toll on the minds of juveniles and causes them to want to be like everything they see on TV.

all, since when had white Americans taken note of anything but color when it
came it blacks?" Our nation, which is supposed to preserve equal rights t .....

Is Television Good Or Bad?
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 382.... teaching.
The drama serials on television are neither entertaining or educational. These shows simply depict "real life" (in the broadest sense of the term) and therefore do not teach or entertain (otherwise life itself would be entertaining!) I think that these programs should not be shown. Comedy programs, however, make viewers laugh, feel better, and make people generally happier. These programs should be encouraged, instead of the ‘real life’ dramas.
Sports programs and broadcasts of sporting matches are very good. With them, fans of the sports can watch only parts .....
