This is the perfect time for people to relax from their hard day at school or their busy day at home. It is the perfect time to drop your book bag, plop on the couch, click on the television, and unwind. The hour long soap allows people to relax and enjoy some free time to themselves. Soap operas are a source of entertainment that take peoples' minds off stressful activities, like homework and caring for the family. Unfortunately, the effects of watching a mere hour of daytime drama really add up.
People waste valuable time watching and obsessing over soap operas.
Students could use this time to study and do homework, instead of waiting until the last minute, and completing their Algebra homework at eleven at night. Housewives and husbands could use the chance to rest and unwind, but too many men and women abuse this time. Instead of watching just one show, they end up watching about three, and their entire day is spent in front of a television. Soap operas promote laziness. They allow students and adults to sit around the house, stuffing their faces instead of going outside to release energy and to work out.
