Research Question: Does television have a negative effect on young children’s lives? The objective of my research is to emphasize the importance of the negative effects that television has on children and make it known that it occurs more often than it should, even in the current year; 2009.
Thesis: Television can effect young children’s lives in a negative way, because children spend most of their time watching television; “Young children spend nearly four hours a day in front of a television screen,”(Gavin), the shows that air on television could be too violent for young viewers, such as showing murders, sex and drugs. Television could be bad for their health.

I believe that television can effect a child’s life in a negative way, because children spend most of their time watching television; “Young children spend nearly four hours a day in front of a television screen,”(Gavin), the shows that air on television could be too violent for young viewers, such as showing murders, sex and drugs. Television could be bad for their health which can cause obesity.
Plan: My plan is to use the information I find as supporting statement for my research paper, and support it using examples that could apply to young children. As well as use facts and research that shows television having a negative effect on young children’s lives.
