4. Last year to this year

I can obviously say that, this year's themes helped me a lot. Including A.P.A format and image citation both of them help me to refer and make my writings more clear. To write an right essay is really important in ENG 101 including also other courses so this course in this semester show how to write an essay with referring in eng but also in other ones. In addition to essay, bloggings also help me a lot to improve my writing in a short way. Interpreting of what I read and giving the main thoughts in my blog develop my writing.

Is TV really the plug in drug?

I had read about this text and in this text can be certainly seen that the author mentioned good points about the TV and the effects of the TV on children and also on adults. Firstly to give a little information about the text, author criticized about a book, which contains negative impacts of TV on children, which might be true. The author of the book claims that TV is a way of babysitting their children in order to ' past family' ways and also contiuning with mentioning about the impacts such as rise of hyperactivity, lack of discipline in classrooms, stereotyped sexual behaviours, which are non based research claims. The possibility of rightness about this book is probably the claim about the decreasing communication rate. Including adults people spend much more time with watching TV rather than communicating compare to past. However as Levinsohn pointed out in the text these claims seems so far. TV might have negative impacts on children with including positive effects, such as more fun way to learn new things, having greater perspective. In addition they seems that they still continue to keep asking questions about what they do not understand with watching in more attractive way. According to Levinsohn TV is good and the reason is it provides the ' nation, common culture'. Beside the children, TV is also give opportunity to share things with people even you don't know. Much further than this it also give the opportunity to feel the same way or to share the sadness or happines with people, even who do not belong to their culture. Criticizing about TV might be good way to warn people about the decreasing communication problem however ignoring all the positive sides of this opening gate to world is probably not the right aspect of to improve the thesis.
