In "Imitation of Film: Here's Smoking at You,Kid", author Nicholas Balakar states affect of movies on our kids. November issue of Pediatric report shows us that kids at 10 to 14 have more risk to take up smoking, if they keep watching actors smoke in the movie. However, Dr James D. Sargent who is a professor of pediatric at Dartmouth Medical school, claim that R-rated movies are much more dangerous than other movies, . 6522 kids were asked about their movie viewing habits in this interview, and according to researchers result of interview is not cheering..
As a person who likes to watch movie, I believe that those R-rated movies have negative effects on our kids. I strongly support the idea of the article which claim that characters from the movies, make our kids take up smoking at their young ages. I thing that movie makers have to take our kids into account while they make their movies. However, as a parent we have to control our kids, and we should not let them watch those kind of movies which contain harmful scenes.Moreover, we have to take these associations serious which make a research about our kids.
I am a person who likes to watch movies a lot, and of course as everybody I have some favorite movie stars such as Robert De Niro. Most of the time I prefer to watch his movies. Because the way he talks and acts make me watch his movies all the time. From time to time, I imitated him when I was a little boy, and I can say he is the one, who caused me take up smoking. Hence, my recommendation for the movie makers is that they have to make useful movies for our kids such as which contain hazards of smoking.
However, parents must pay attention what their kids are watching and imitating. I believe that it is very important for kids to watch movies under their parents control. As an adult we all know what kind of movies are helpful for our kids, and we have to realize that their personalties is not ready for those kind of movies, which contain harmful scenes. Thus, parents have to determine what kind of movies they should watch. Unfortunately, one of my little cousins imitate some characters from one of his favorite programs called Sokak cocuklari (street boys) and he uses his pencil as a cigarette and walks around.
On the other hand, I am aware that associations which make some researches about our kids are very important for parents. Especially, parents who live in big cities, are very busy with their business. Thus, they do not pay attention enough for their kids, and that is why kids might make a harmful habits. Those kind of associations make parents realize that what is helpful or harmful for their kids. I strongly believe that we have to support those kind of associations. Because, as we see in the reading passage on of these researches was made by one of these association and show us the result of research with numbers.
In conclusion, we should give attention to our kids and support associations which make a research about our kids to help us while we raise a child. However movie makers might be more respectful to our kids, while they make their new movies.
