Impact of Media On Human Brain And what Changes can we make for our children today to make a better tomorrow

Have we ever thought that what we see or hear actually fills our thoughts?

Yes , it actually does. When a human brain has a prolonged exposure or repetitive viewing of similar scenes creates a powerful impact on the human brain . This can be used positively or negatively . If the impact is positive it may bring a tremendous growth in humans IQ or growth as an individual . But if we pick up the average , the negative impact is more in the human brain. Firstly it would make one addictive that you glue yourself to the screen for hours unless u view the climax . This continuous viewing can take humans thoughts wander around the thing viewed thus helping them not to focus on the present . It even hampers the sleep by similar dreams while sleeping and this continues till one is able to remove this thought from their mind completely and get to their present lives.

For example , the person who watches too much of porn gets addicted to it. and in the long run they desire to have similar kind of sexual life in their relationships . And when not fulfilled they experience lack of compatibility in bed by their partners, thus causing drifts. Even excessive porn can cause other crimes in the society such as molestation , rapes etc ..

Another example to this is when a person watches lot of horror . The person may get bad dreams resulting to improper sleep and at times develop fear of darkness or hallucination of experiencing or seeing something which is not present. Thus creating psychological problems.

The current example of corona virus news has created a lot of impact on human minds . The flashing of repeated numbers of people suffering and dying shown in news is constantly creating a fear in human minds . This is indirectly putting people into depression . If we notice media just shows 95 percent of negative things happening around which starts human mind to train seeing world as negative which is not the reality.

So from the above examples we can understand that what we feed our mind with is very important. Most of the crimes or inappropriate behaviours or ideas of how the crime can be done are coming from the media which is constantly seen or heard. On a social front if we want to reduce the number of crimes and cruelty we need to feed right. We can change our tomorrow from the children as the changes made in their life today would built a better tomorrow.

Tips of handling children to create perfect idols for tomorrow

Parents are the first teachers or idols for their children , so whatever u choose to watch would become their first choice to watch . So choose wisely. Show them which you have seen and is right for them to see. Always filter their mind with what is good and bad so that their choices remain wise.

Discuss development of the world , new discoveries or help them to learn about nature.

Choose watching news with them which is for the progress of the country. Talk what good things are done with them by the government so they learn to see good and also look forward to make their country better.

Avoid watching serials of dramas of motherin law and daughter in law, extra marital affairs , crime, black magic serials etc. so that they see and accept the world and the people in different way . As whatever u watch creates your belief.

Curiosity developed in the mind of the child to know is the right time to answer him/her with the required information and not avoiding their questions. As this may lead to wrong kind of knowledge entering their minds by self-findings.

We can build a better tomorrow by feeding the children of today with positive things to be viewed and right words to be heard by choosing right for them by making our viewings and words right in our lives.
