Television can control your mind

Thank you for your conclusion. I just realized my opponent has just wrote summary of what he found online rather than taking crucial time to actually think everything out and plan how to write his side of the argument. No offenses to you, but you have basically plagiarized your arguments. If you look at your provided links you can tell that you have basically copied whatever information that was provided and just changed it by a little bit. You have done the same thing as you did in this debate. http://www.debate.org... You have almost copied the information already posted in the links. Why couldn’t you just use your own thought to create your own argument? The Pro’s paragraphs other than the intro paragraphs and conclusion paragraphs are all plagiarized or summarized by changing few words. You should be ashamed of yourself for plagiarizing so many of your paragraphs in the last round. Rebuttal “My opponent has not shown how watching 4-6 hours of T.V can be helpful to a person. He has made some valid points on the educational factors of watching T.V. ; unfortunately, my argument is made specifically towards watching 4-6 hours of T.V on a daily basis, is harmful and can in affect, control your mind. I believed I have already explained that watching 4-6 hours of T.V can be a good thing. Watching T.V for a long period of time every day is not that harmful enough to control your mind. Like I have explained before T.V teaches the viewer important things about the interesting world we live in. Watching T.V for 4-6 hours can teach you a lot of facts that can help a person’s mind rather than controlling it. The Pro have plagiarized many of the paragraphs. So I will only rebuttal the ones that are from his idea. "Lastly, I would like to point out the obvious. Just because you are intelligent, have a college degree, or even a highly recognized person in society does not mean you cannot be brainwashed by television. Most people have been brainwashed and do not even realize it. How many times have you made an important decision based on information you seen on T.V? Most people decide on the car they want to buy or the type of clothes they will purchase, and even where they will go on vacation, due to something they have seen or heard of on T.V. and it is this type of media brainwashing that has made the decision for us." - How do you know that those people have been brainwashed? You said, "Most people decide on the car they want to buy or the type of clothes they will purchase, and even where they will go on vacation, due to something they have seen or heard of on T.V." This is not brainwashing because this is how the world runs. T.V is also a device of advertisement which help show the viewers what they could purchase. If the viewer doesn’t like what they see they can just change the channel or just decide not to buy it. “In conclusion, I believe watching more than four hours a day of television is harmful, addictive and can cause brainwashing (mind control). If anyone reading this debate can honestly say "nothing I have seen on television has ever influenced any decision I have ever made and I watch 4 to 6 hours every day" then you should vote Con. However, if you can admit to your selves after reading this debate that TV has influenced you in some way, you should vote PRO!" - I will argue this in my conclusion Conclusion People that watch T.V for that long period of time is influenced in a good way. Viewers watch T.V to relax and to have fun. At the same time they can learn how to speak different language or the world around them. Many T.V shows have information that is new and interesting for the viewer. T.V also can teach someone how to do something like build a boat. T.V is an object that is loved by many people because it not only helps with the stress you have and it gives many educational facts. There is also many historic channels and shows that teach history in a good way. If you watch 4-6 hours of T.V a day you can learn many things. Even though you watch a lot of shows that might not be educational you still learn something from each show that you watch. Cartoons have a moral lesson or something like that in each episode. Movies have complex story line and plot that is design to give an exercise to your mind. No matter what you watch there will always be some kind of information that you will receive from T.V. Watching 4 to 6 hours of T.V can help reduce your stress and also helps you find role models. Role models that you find on T.V can be from a cartoon or from a movie or even a T.V show. Role models can help lead the way for children at a young age. T.V is helpful to the world because of the new source of advertising it gave us. No matter what you watch you will always learn something no matter how old you are or how long you watch T.V every day. Vote Con because Pro has plagiarized so many paragraphs in the last round. Also Con has rebutted every one of Pro's points.
