television's effects

Television has been a part of our life for many years. Although there are both those who are opposed to it and those who support it, most people spend their some time watching TV. I think this is a pity because it has harm more than good, it has lots of bad sides. And also, I do not think that today TVs teach children something, on the contrary, it has lots of bad effects on children.

If we want to mention its harms, we can say lots of things about this. For instance; there are several horror films or series on TV, children watch them, learn something affecting them in a bad way during their development and they apply these things such as trying to make magic, flying, shutting, crying all the time when their parents do not do what they wish, etc. I think all these things are harmful for children. Instead of learning and living real life, they are affected from TV and they do not see the reality. If there would teaching programms or useful news on TV for children. TV could be useful for them, but unfortunately, it is not.

Apart from its harms for children, it has also the same bad effects on adults. For instance; women programms such as Seda Sayan, Petek Dinçöz, Esra Eron in the morning and this prevents them from their houseworks, caring with their children, carring out their responsibilities etc. Namely, they spend their time in vain. Also, they watch romantic series and some of women begin to act as the actresses. This is bad for their family structure. Moreover, when they watch romantic films, series, they cry and make themselves sad in vain.

As a result, TV has a lot of bad results for both children and adults. I do not understand that although people know TV has no good for them, they go on watching TV and spend their valuable time sitting opposite it. When we have chance to make use of our time, we shouldn't throw it away and we should know its value.

Paraphrasing.....

Animals are being exteremly used in scientific researches nowadays. It is ambigious whether it should be done or not. While one side is saying that they, too, have right to live, the other side supports the idea that if animals are not used, what will be used instead of them.

Animals have right to live of course. They are animate, too. Using them in researches means taking their right of living from them. Generally, the researches result in the death of the animal and it is not matter if the animal died or not died. The topic of research is significant for the scientists. During the research the animals may probably have pain. In this issue, Bernard Rollin , a philosopher, said that no human benefit can lie on the animals pain.

On the other hand, some people say that animals should be used in scientific researches because if they are not used, we can not progress in the field of science on people. Especially, drug production, scientists have to test the items. How can they test? The drugs are for people and trying the new drug on people mean killing them. So scientists use animals as they resemble to the human kind a lot.

This matter is really worth argueing. Some are fan of using the animals in researches, some are not. But we should think carefully that the animals have right to live like us.
