Open Ended
Provide a concluding statement or section that follows from and supports the argument presented in the passage below.
I feel that children watch way too much television. Studies show that children, on the average, watch between three and five hours of television on weekdays and up to eight hours of television on weekends. Cartoons may be funny, but children should not spend their whole lives watching them. If children are spending that much time watching television, when are they doing anything else? When are they sitting down to eat as a family? When are they getting outside and participating in physical activities and socializing with their friends? They probably are not doing much of that at all—there just would not be any time for any productive activities.
