Disadvantages of Watching Television

Nowadays we have a greater amount of technology than we did in the past. Today we have a lot of media in every place. According to my research in the class, I’ve found 72% agree that the television is the most common media all over the world. In fact, people love to watch many different programs on television. Even though a lot of people like to watch TV, I believe that watching TV has three disadvantages.

The first disadvantage of watching TV is its negative effects on people’s health. Addiction to watching TV causes problems in a person’s eyes and causes people to gain weight. As we know, the light of the TV is harmful to our eyes, especially if a person sits very close to the TV. However, a lot of children sit in front of TV for a long time. According to Nikki, “The TV’s light damages the watcher’s eyes.” She continued by saying, “and it’s a waste of time.” However, Asma said, “There is no danger to the people who watch TV a lot.” Actually I agree with Nikki. Out of my classmates, 88% agreed that the TV’s light affects ore’s eyes. I think the best distance between the TV and the watcher is at least three meters. Also, the most doctors’ opinion is that a person’s head should be at the same level as the TV height. The other negative affect on a person’s health is weight gain. People who watch TV without exercising naturally gain weight. Both Nikki and Asma agreed and said, "There is a possibility to gain weight more when TV watchers eat while they are watching TV because they pay attention to the TV. So they often feel stuffed later." On the other hand, "It's not necessary that people who watch TV gain weight because they can exercise while they are watching by using a lot of machines," Baito added. So, watching TV can negatively affect ore’s health.

The next problem is sleep deprivation. TV helps people to stay until midnight. Always there are interesting programs broadcast at midnight, so people prefer to wait for these programs instead sleeping. According to the survey that I did it in the class, I've found 77.7% agree that the people who watch TV a lot have sleep deprivation. Also, many studies find that adults should sleep seven hours a day. Sleep deprivation is a physical problem, and there are other problems. For example, when I spend more time to see the TV in the night, I can’t wake up early in the next morning.

Programs' effect is another disadvantage. Certain kinds of programs affect our behavior. Some people like to watch violent TV shows and movies that have a lot of action. Scientists found a link between violent programs and aggressive behavior. Children who watch violent movies are more likely to argue with teachers and fight with other students. In contrast, violent programs affect adults less than children because adults are wiser than children. Most people in this class decided that the violent shows affect children in different ways. Asma said, "The children who watch these shows are doing what they see." She continued by adding, " also, they are aggressive  and more likely to fight or argue with others." In addition, Baito said, "Yes, violent shows teach children to be violent and they instill the instinct to fight." So, some of the programs affect us negatively.

The last disadvantage of watching to much TV is can lead a lack of communication between people. Addiction to watching TV is like a prison because it keeps people in front of TV at all the time. Television is destroying family life. Now families just sit like robots in front of the boob tube, the television, instead of talking or playing games together. Some families even eat dinner in front of the TV screen. There's little communication between parents and their children or even between husband and wife, except maybe an argument about whether to watch Monday Night Football or ER, a show that women like. Actually I think TV is a disaster that destroys the relationships between family members if they don’t use it correctly.

In conclusion, we must avoid becoming addicted to watching TV to protect our health and avoid damaging our bodies because watching too much TV affects our health by damaging the eyes or the whole body. Also, we have to get enough rest and not let children watch violent shows by choosing programs that are appropriate for their ages. Last but not least, we should let children go out and see the world and help them to be effective in their society. In addition, we have to teach our children the disadvantages of watching TV.

Sultan Qaboos Bin Said

Qaboos Bin Said, the person who leads our country, is the Sultanate of Oman. His family ruled Oman more than two hundred and fifty years and he is the 8^th ruler from his family who rules Oman. He began to rule Oman in 1970 when he was thirty years old. In two weeks, on November 18^th, he will be seventy years old. He was born on November 18^th, 1940. He completed his elementary and high school in Salalah, a city in the south of Oman and where he was born. After that, his father sent him to England to study in the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. After his graduation from the university, he went to Germany to study how to rule the country. Then he returned to Oman. When he returned to Oman, his father decided to take him on a journey around the world in three months because he wanted from him to see and learn how the leaders rule their country and to have some experiences. After three months, he returned to Oman and he started to read about his country’s history. Nowadays, riding horses is one of his hobbies because when he was four years old, his father put him on a horse. Also, he likes to read and takes photos. In conclusion, in my opinion, people should read about Sultan Qaboos because he is one of ten famous leaders in the world. 

How to Prepare for a Job Interview

    

If you want to prepare for a job interview, you should follow these suggestions. First, on the night before the interview day, you must go to bed early because when you have enough rest in the night, you will be able to wake up fast in the morning. Second, you should wear a nice suit because it may make the interviewer accept you, welcome you and he will be very happy to meet you. Third, you should go to the interview building at least fifteen minutes before the interview starts because you don't know what will happen on the road if the bus will be late that day. After that, you have to ask the people in the company or search online about the history of the company because sometimes the interviewer will ask you "what you know about the company where you want to work." Then you should take all the papers that they need into the interview such as C.V, certificates and your photos. In conclusion, there are some suggestions that can help you to prepare for a job interview and get the job that you need.

The Educational Systems in Oman and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

        There are similarities and differences between the educational systems in Oman and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Although, all students wear uniforms when they go to school, but the color changes according to the level of school for girls. For example, the girls in the elementary school in Oman wear pink uniforms, whereas in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia they wear gray uniform. In addition, the girls wear blue uniform in middle and high school in Oman. In contrast, in K.S.A, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the girls in high school wear brown uniforms, but they wear blue like the Omanis in the middle school. Second, there are extracurricular activities at school for boys in K.S.A. For example, they have sports teams such as soccer and volleyball. On the other hand, in Oman there aren’t any extracurricular activities at school. Third, in Oman, just as K.S.A, the parents are active in the school. For instance, fathers go to school and ask about their sons. Also, mothers go to school and ask about their daughters and what they need to success in school. In contrast, in Oman the students in the elementary and middle schools have two breaks during the day at school like K.S.A. While the students in K.S.A in high schools have two breaks during the day at school, the students in Oman have only one break. To sum up, the educational systems in Oman and K.S.A are very similar, but there are slight differences between them.
