After introducing several popular movies, today, I’d like to talk about how movies affect teen’s behaviour? As the influence of the movies on the psychosocial development of teenagers is profound, its important for us to know both the beneficial and harmful effects of movies on our mental and physical health, thus we can make a wise choice when choosing movie to watch.
Sexuality
By:www.movie affect teens
Today, movies have become a leading sex
educator around the world. Although some people believe that the movies can
influence sexual responsibility by promoting birth control, such as condom use.
More people argue the downsides of this have a wider effect. Teenagers who had
seen more sexually movies turn to be more likely
to have lost their virginity, had multiple lovers and engaged in infidelity.
Smoking's Cool

According to the website WebMD “several
studies have shown the power of films to influence a teen’s decision to start
smoking.” It argues that smoking in films can influence teenagers, regardless
of the film’s rating. They think that smoking like the stars in the movies will
make them looks cooler and more attractive.
Advertising

Advertising
can have positive effects on children’s behaviour. For example, some tobacco
manufactures append a large amount of the budget every year on advertisements
warning people how likely the will get a cancer by consuming tobacco products.
Similarly, many alcohol manufacturers also spend much on warning about the
dangers of drinking and driving.Every
coin has two sides, some people argue that the more time children spend
watching television, the more they are influenced by it. Then the teenagers
would likely to try some tobacco or alcohol in an inappropriate age. Beside,
some teenagers over-trust the sales pitch, they tend to believe what they
advertised and buy goods impulsively.
How do
you think about the effects of movies on teenagers? Would the benefits outweigh
the downsides? Welcome to discuss with us.
