children & TV
there is no invention got criticized like TV , because it's negative affects on families , the way it changed our Social habits , reduce intimacy between family members .
it does not just stop there but it also has bad Psychological effects & emotional bad side.
so i will try to answer two questions :
1.does TV make children less sensitive ?
2.does TV make children stupid ?

does TV make children less sensitive ?
for answering that their was a research in the year 2004 .
it was started by a live watching for 7 years old child x
she was called during watching cartoons several time by here mother with out any response
after that as a play here mother sting her with a pin .
girl x didn't response for pain
the surprising thing the test made again with the same results.
so to make sure this time they get a group of 6 children boys and girls
age from 6 to 8
they usually watch TV for 3.4 hour per day.
a two hours cartoon movie CD were displayed.
and during the show they sting the children they did respond .
they do the test again but this time they were talking to the children ,the children respond to the sting .
now in another test they gave them hot glass cups of cocoa during watching the cartoon movie
Kids start to have a sip of the hot liquid and hold the cup in there hands .
but when they were talk to them and give them the hot glass they put it on the table and leave it to cool down .
so the result is that kid feeling of pain will reduce during watching cartoon
that due too TV deceive child mind and send it to stat of sleep
that make his brain send false signal to the body to send hormone that is active during sleep that reduce pain feeling.
and growth hormone
so child will get early growth

2.does TV make children stupid ?
so back to 7 years old girl x
her mother find that here studying level is decreased after watching TV
specially Cartoon movies .
in 2006 an experiment started with a group of 18 kid boys and girls
the first test was with shape toys (spatial testing)
and the second one was simple math test.
before watching the cartoon movie
they passed both of the tests
16 child get 89% rate for the shape test .
15 child get 83% rate for the math test .
test now after hour from the movie began :
shapes test zero
math test 11% for only 2 kids passed it
after the movie ends by half hour :
shapes test 30% for 6 kids only passed it
math test 44% for 2 kids only
this experiment proved that children intelligent declined due to watching TV.
also there were a study which took place in Canada
about comparing the development of the ability of reading for children
3 town for 4 years
first one with no TV
second one TV with only one channel
third town with TV and number of channels
the result was children in the first town got the highest grads
the the result continue decreasing after TV enter the first town
and become near the same grades like the two other towns.
a french study show that 40% from the families student of politic school
( school after high school graduate scientist and politicians )
don't have TV because their families live in social ares that reject TV.
