Television Addiction

Marie Winn establishes a comparison between drug or alcohol and television habit. Winn draws this habit as a destructive addition. But, I think that is not the same consequences. Drugs and alcohol provide a biological destructive response. The negative effects of drugs do not compare to the negative effects of television. Physical harms are involved in drug and alcohol addiction. Although drugs addiction and television habit are dissatisfied by fall into the same habit and return and return, the painful consequences are not the same. And both activities offer an escape from the difficulties daily life. In other words, it can blot out the real world as a Winn describe in her essay. Definitively, nobody die because the excessive hours in from of TV. Certainly, television habit causes adverse results such as distorts time and social relationships. It represents a lose time that is a negative effect. But, the physical side effects are not the same in drug addiction and television habit. My point of view is that the key of television habit is the negative impact caused because the current content television. It is disastrous and harmful. This main point is not addressed in her essay. I think it is a strong argument and appropriate reason to convince people that television habit must be harmful and destructive addition.
