I think that the things we watch have a BIG influence on the decisions and choices we make. Pretty much everyone has seen the show Jersey Shore at least once or has seen a commercial. I think that Jersey Shore has a veryy bad influence on kids. There is a lot of drinking and people getting drunk which is not a good thing to show kids. Many people try to act like the people on the show because they think they are so "cool" when really they are nowhere near cool. The show is promoting kids to make bad decisions and mess up their lives. Therefore, TV and the shows we watch have a major impact on the decisions and choices we make.
I think the things we watch on TV have a huge effect on who we are and how we act because we all try and be like the celebrities on the shows. For example, if the celebrity is doing inappropriate things on TV, but looks like a lot of fun. That will make us want to do the same. This will influence the way we act in a bad way. Watching TV can also influence us in a good way, but either way it influences us. Therefore, the TV shows we watch do have a huge effect on how we act.
Yeah, TV probably has a big influence on the way people live. For example, I watch a lot of anime stuff and as a result, I randomly throw japanese words into my sentences, something I (probably) wouldn't do if I didn't watch TV.
The TV shows we watch today affect the people who are watching it a lot. When people watch a lot of bloody fighting shows they are usually more violent than someone who does not. Same with Family Guy, if you watch a lot of shows like that you will most likely be more inappropriate. No matter what show you watch it will still affect you in many ways.
I definitely think that TV has a big influence on how people act even if they don't realize it. For example people who watch TV show with a ton of swearing most likely pick up on the bad language and swear more often. If people didn't watch TV I think they would act a lot differently.
I think that the things we watch have a bug influence on the decisions and choices we make.I say this because all of us have seen Jersey Shore. It is just a stupid reality show where people just make bad decisions and they get in trouble in the show. When teenagers see this, they go out and try to be like the characters.
I think the things people watch today on T.V really affect them because a lot of young people see famous stars on television and want to become like them. This also influences them not to be theirselves and act alot differnetly.
I think that we make the choices that we want to like what jeff said how we want to be like our role models when were older because we follow them. We admire our role models whenever we are playing sports or playing instruments. We want to be as popular and talented as them. I play guitar so I want to be like jimi hendrix when I am older. Therefore, if I watch TV and see someone that I wish to be like, I will say wow and honor them to become like them.
I think that the choices we make bounces off of the television shows that we watch because of various reasons. One reason is because if someone in a movie has a type of "swag" that someone likes, then that someone will build his/her personality off of it. Also, if someone hears a faous quote or a funny quote off the T.V. shows that we watch, we will say those quotes more often than usual. Therefore, T.V. shows a lot of reflection towards us.
I think tv really does impact our llife and the way we think about things. For example we all quote t.v. shows a lot. Later on these quotes become something we use regularly everyday. This mans that now we say this regularly and think the way this character does. therfore t.v does impact the way we talk hence impacting the way we think.
