Since television or movie has been developed, people have changed their way of living. Before television, people have their own way of thinking, they learn by their experience and sometime by listening their friends experience. But things are different now, people started thinking globally. They can view opinion of those people who live thousands mile far from them and can share their idea with them. Not everything in this world has only positive aspect, they have both side negative and positive. Television also influence people’s behavior in both way.

People spend a lot of their valuable time just watching television and movies. They sit in front of television all the day and watch different channels sometime. People’s who are watching their favorite show try to stop their nature call till break ,this is because they don’t want to miss even only one scene of that show. Television is making people more addictive and lazy.
Most of people’s have their favorite movie actor, whom they love to see on movie but some people try to compare them with their husband or wife. They search those character on their life partner which may lead them towards end of their relationship. Moreover television advertisement has changed the way people used to use before purchase anything. Now they started to believe that attractively advertised things are always good. They don’t go with the quality of that object, they love the way it appears and it’s finishing.
