    The documentary Consuming Kids provided me with so much information about the effects of media on kids. I was very surprised that products and shows that cover education materials does not improve children learning ability, but damage them in a way. As they mentioned, it actually will take away their imagination, attentive and kids’ ability to learn. The media strategic of manipulative using education to lure kids and their parents to making them think it alright for kids to watch education programs because it has the learning system, but in reality, those shows are just influencing the kids to buy their products. The negative impact that media is contributing not only to kids’ health (physically and mentally), but in a deep sense…

    A world without television is virtually impossible for many American’s to imagine. Television has effected the lives of many Americans since 1927, the year Philo Taylor Farnsworth invented the television. Although television has effected America positively in several ways, advertising has negatively effected America throughout history. McClure et al.(2013) asserted that adolescents see approximately seventeen advertisements per day, and they have excessive receptivity to the media’s advertising tactics (p. 550). In addition to adolescents receptivity to advertising, children’s health has been drastically impacted by media since the early 1960’s. At this time the majority of households owned a television and watched it frequently. Chou, Rashad, and Grossman (2008) found that American adolescent's body mass index increased 4% throughout the same timeline. Contrary to popular belief, Chou, Rashad, and Grossman…

    Each year, children are spending less time outdoors playing and more time indoors watching television. With all the time spent indoors, physical activity and exercise is greatly lacking in children today, which is contributing to the rise of childhood obesity. Instead of riding bikes with friends or playing sports in the street, children are sitting slumped on the couch, staring at the television, with no motivation to stimulate activity. This is in part to the content of the programing as well as the advertisements during commercial breaks. In the midst of these programs are advertisements for the newest toys that every child wants to have. During the hours that children typically watch television, broadcasting networks are playing advertisements that spark interest in a child, convincing children that they need these new games and toys. Fun and exciting ads are not the only factor in the rise of obesity, along with toys and games; non-nutritious advertising is playing its role in this as well. The food displayed is of no nutritional content, which of course, is exactly what children want. Again, these ads are sending children into a frenzy, begging parents to purchase these food products. “Food is the most commonly advertised product on children’s television” (Zimmerman & Bell, 2010, pp. 336-337). Many studies have been conducted in regard to television viewing and childhood obesity and statistics indicate that the main cause of obesity in children watching television is the advertisements for food during children’s programming Regardless of whether the programs are educational or strictly entertaining, television programs that contain advertisements during the show are linked to contribution of obesity in children, according to Zimmerman & Bell (2010). DVD’s and television programs that contain no in-program ads, such as Nick Jr., appear to have a drastically reduced association. Watching television does not have…

    Different advertisements have different objectives. Advertisements have many negative effects on children. Firstly, children can be easily influenced by a good advertisement which motivates the children to get this particular product being advertised. These ads encourage the kids to ask their parents to purchase them the product that shown in the advertisement without paying attention whether it is useful or not. Secondly, children usually get attached and attracted towards the costly branded products and overlook the good and inexpensive ones that are not shown in the commercials. For example, they usually want to but brands that celebrities wear in the commercial no matter how expensive these brands are. Thirdly, fast food restaurants advertisements on TV and other media contribute to the epidemic of obesity among children.

Since the first television sets appeared in homes, in mid-twentieth century, television has grown into a phenomenon found in almost every household.
