<< I think television's influence to our behavior is great, especially for children. On the other hand, movies' influence to our behavior is little. I think so because we watch television almost every day, but we don't see movies every day. So I think movies can work as an entertainment for our lives, but television can't work as an entertainment. Television seems to me somewhat harmful. In what point television can be harmfull to our behavior? When we go back to home, most of us may put on TV channels, and watch while eating. After supper we continue to watch television until late at night. Such a way of using time seems to me very consumable. I think we can use time more efficiently such as talking with our family, relaxing our body, or reading books. While watching TV with our mouse open, most of us think nothing, just watch. Even more, if father spend time watching sports channels on Sunday afternoon, his child can't play with him and he can't have enough time to contact with his father. I think such a child is not psychologically healthy. On the other hand, I think movies can't harm our behavior. We don't see movies every day except for minor manias. For example I watch movies about 4 or 5 times a year. So movie can be a entertainment. I go movie theater on Friday night after work. And after watching a movie, I go to an Itarian restaurant and eat delicious dinner with my friends. On such a time I feel very comfortable and indeed I can be relaxed. So my answer to the question, "How do movies or television influence people's behavior?", is movies can relax people's mind and can be a real entertainment. But television may be harmful to our daily lives. I even think television doesn't need to our lives. Most of us use an internet nowadays. So we can get information as we want on the internet. I think we don't have to persistent television no more. We can improve our lives by not watching television. I hope in 10 years or so, there might be no television on the earth. And even more, no TV games on the earth. I want my children not addicted to play TV games but to play out side with his friends such as baseball or soccer.
