TV & Movies A lot of people in modern society are hooked on TV. The idiot box has become a "third parent" to our children and a "second spouse" to our wives and husbands. Indeed, in some homes the children, and individually the parents, spend more time with the television than each other. Critics worry that passively watching TV is to absorbing of our time and attention; we not only do not get enough physical exercise, but we do not stimulate our mental activity either. Another problem is the tendency toward copycat behavior: we dress, talk, and behave in ways that we model after characters on TV and in the movies. This is especially worrisome since so many of these programs are excessively violent and sexually suggestive. Many legal experts believe that delinquency problems are made much worse by young people imitating what they see in the media. Two steps need to be taken. First, parents need to do a better job of policing their TV sets, not only in terms of what their children watch but also how much time they spend doing it. Second, parents and teachers must educate kids to develop a more conscious, critical attitude toward what they watch, instead of just absorbing it all like a sponge. hint~~** hooked : addicted or devoted to (sth) copycat : an imitation or reproduction of (sth) model : copy the qualities or character of another delinquency : behavior that is contrary to the requirements of the law, especially by young people police : control Questions~~** 1.
