Every one of us loves films and television serials. Films and serials have become a part of our daily life. Most of us just watch movies or soaps on television, but few of us care whether these are beneficial or harmful for us.

Films and serials can be really harmful. Very often we read in newspapers and hear on radios that a man attempted to jump from verandah emulating the action of a film he saw. In some films, an actor is able to jump from a multi-storeyed building without being hurt, a single person able to kill 10 or 15 villains, a man flying in air and many other such fantastic scenes.

Although these imaginary scenes provide us with a short entertainment, they leave a negative impact on us, especially children. In some movies, a lot of murder scenes are shown. All these can deviate a young mind towards crime and terrorism.

However, all films are not harmful. Documentaries are very helpful. They provide us with the knowledge of real life and real places. We should be selective while watching films.

It depends on us whether we want to see films

which provide only entertainment or which provide both entertainment and knowledge.
