Television, friend ou enemy ?

I still don't know if the television is a friend ou an enemy.
I mean, in some cases it helps us, by giving us informations about everything around the world, entertaining us with cartoons, movies, talk shows, and game shows. In the other hand, to use only the television as a mean of communication can turn us on 'aliens'.
Kids are the most vunerable people in this situations. There parents who work the entire day, so they have to hire a nanny or a maid to take care of their children, in most of the cases these people let the children watch TV the entire day. The problem of kids watching TV all day is that the cartoons nowadays are not as inocents as they were in the past. Now, most of the kids programs involve violence, and kids may start bringing this violence home, parents mut be carefull with it.

Producers of programs , like Ben 10, also use the image of the cartoon to sell theis produtcs, its a marketing game. Of course, they know how addicted the kids are in their program, and they take advantage on this, creating thousands of objects to sell, such as notebooks, books, games, puzzles, bicicles, and lots of other products.
Parents should control more their children, putting a limit of hours for them to wacht the TV, avoiding to raise an addicted, alienated person.

Music as a therapy

Music is very usefull in lots of ways.
There are songs that can make us happier in a day that we are in a bad mood, there are songs that can make us relax in days that we are stressed and tired. To listen to a good song is always a good option.
There are studies that defend how can music influence on therapies and treatments, and it was proved that in some cases it helps a lot. Relaxing instrumental songs, like Bethoven, can help people to relax, to forget about problems that may be worring them, to sleep, and consequently, to acelerate the heal process.
It works as a psycological treatment, relaxing people and making them feel better about themselfs and their physical situation.
To read a book may also help, but there isn't nothing so simple ans easy as listen to a good song.
