Effects of Television Addiction

Let's Fight
Few weeks ago I went to see Jackie Chan's movie "The forbidden kingdom", I indeed liked the movie so much and I never improbable to come out of it feeling eager to resume my martial arts training. Since I watched that movie I started watching Aikido videos approximately every night in order to restore back my old skills.

This was indeed weird for me since I stopped the aikido training three years ago because of wanting to free more time for the gym. It was clear that Jackie Chan's movie has programmed my mind in such a way that I became eager to do something that I stopped doing years ago.

Fortunately aikido is secure and is even great but what if I saw a movie like "saw Iv" then felt like wanting to cut my best friend into two halves? absolutely I wasn't going to do this but I am sure that watching such movies over and over changes something in the brain and the in the way we think.

Television addicts exist in any place from the Far East to the Usa. Those population watch television on daily basis for three hours or more and sometimes have to drop prominent activities just to be able to watch television for few more hours. The dangers of television addiction are indeed bigger than what you could imagine and the following few examples are a sample of what television addiction can do to your life:

* Programming your mind: Just as watching Jackie Chan's movie programmed my mind the movies that you watch will program your mind too whether you wanted it or not. Watch a lot of drama and you will become a cry boy, watch a lot of performance movies and you might become violent or watch a lot of nightmare movies and you might start to believe in ghosts. Changing your beliefs about life : Why do population want to get rich in two weeks? Why do keywords such as "How to become a billionaire over night" are among the beloved search keywords? Why do population feel indeed bad when they get rejected for the first time?? Movies have taught us that good guys fail, face problems but ordinarily solve them before the end of the movie. It never takes the Good guy more than few days to move from poverty to wealth, from being unknown to fame and from being sad to being indeed happy. When your beliefs about life convert you start to assume that life events should be similar to the events you saw in the movies but unfortunately this only results in disappointment.

* Depressing You: Watching television for extended periods of time have been linked to depression. Moreover, this depression results in being unable to stop watching Tv and so a cycle of depression and television addiction is developed.

* Makes you feel guilty : ordinarily television addiction is linked with delaying prominent tasks or wasting time that should be allocated to your family. This results in feelings of guilt that keep increasing in intensity as you keep watching.

* Negative thinking: 99% of the news that appears on Television is negative. Lots of movies and Tv series have negative messages embedded within. Being subjected to such negative messages and news results in making you feel bad and in even making you a negative thinker.

The ultimate disagreement in the Workplace

Conflict resolution is a significant skill for whatever who manages a large estimate of people. Regardless of how well employees typically get along, if you have a large enough group of citizen working together for a long enough period of time, conflicts will erupt. Sources of conflict can occur due to whatever from minor annoyances to personal grudge. There are also the three taboo subjects that can lead to infighting - politics, sex, and religion. Most companies have a course (official or unofficial) that these issues should not be discussed in the workplace to avoid potential disagreements. However, what happens when politics is the job?

When a subject is thought about such a hot-button issue that most citizen cannot discuss it at work, how can we expect our nation's leaders to tackle issues when they are, in fact, politicians? How can Republicans and Democrats in Washington be thinkable, to work together for the coarse good when the very issues that they discuss are deemed too evaporative for quarterly seminar amongst their voters? Will Washington ever be able to agree on whatever other than rooting for the Washington Redskins on fall Sundays?

Television

The honest write back to each of these questions is that they often cannot. Party line voting is more coarse now than ever before. Many representatives are more interested in getting pork for their constituents than doing what is best for the nation as a whole. Too many political Leaders are enduringly blaming the other side for things not getting done, which added prevents whatever real from getting accomplished. Political life is more about appeasing the motivated minority (angry extremes) than it is doing what is best for the majority. How many careers can you think of that have seen a man nearly beaten to death with a cane in the workplace (as Preston Brooks did to Charles Sumner in Congress 1856)?

It is not like the citizenry is innocent in this either. Talk radio and television news is enduringly becoming more divisive. Why? Because ratings are based on who can be the loudest and furthest to a political extreme. "Balanced" reporting means combining two extreme viewpoints from opposite ends of the spectrum. Moderate viewpoints are rarely represented by any national media - primarily because they do not receive any attention from a populace that is more focused on volume and controversy than that which is practical and reasonable.

Washington needs a hard episode on conflict resolution. Plainly avoiding political issues does not work in a workplace where the goal is to resolve...political issues. This country needs to get back to the basics - which means working together to solve the major issues. Jamestown colony would not have been the first permanent (European) village in the New World if the founders had decided that quarrels over immigration and tax cuts for the wealthy were more prominent than making sure that each man had entrance to the basic necessities. Now, more than ever, the United States government needs real leaders to bring the country together and help the citizenry see the forest straight through the trees (even if we are dealing with big trees). Unfortunately, seeing at the list of ready candidates from either party, I see no one who fits this description...
