In this article, we examine the impact of television on children's academic performance, a topic that has sparked considerable debate. Television is often criticized for its potential to distract children and undermine their focus on studies, with various studies suggesting a negative correlation between excessive television viewing and academic outcomes. However, television also plays a positive role as an educational resource, offering students access to global news, educational programs, and research materials. This dual nature of television highlights its capacity to both support and hinder academic achievement, making it essential to understand the nuances of its influence on education.

In this research paper, we examine the potential implications of the Government of Belize's renewed efforts to explore and drill for oil offshore, nearly sixty years after the first attempt. The study explores the possible economic, environmental, and social impacts that could arise from engaging in offshore oil exploration and drilling. To gather relevant insights, a representative sample of residents from the Belize District was interviewed to capture their personal opinions on the matter. Additionally, the Director of the Geology & Petroleum Department was interviewed to provide a comparative perspective from the government's standpoint on offshore oil exploration and drilling in Belize.
