Television and advertisement
Many people have forgotten what the world was like
before TV. But today it has become an integral part of our lives. No medium can
compare with TV as a means of information, entertainment & education. TV
now plays such an important role in so many people's lives that it is essential
for us to try to decide whether it is bad or good.
On the first place TV is not only a convenient source
of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. For a family of 4, for
example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home
than to go out. They don't have to pay for expensive tickets. All they have to
do is to turn on TV and they can see films, political discussions and the
latest exciting football matches. Some people say that this is fist where the
danger lies. The TV viewers need do nothing: they make no choices, they're
completely passive & don't even use their legs.
TV, people often say, informs about current events and
the latest developments in science and politics. A lot of good films, music
programs have appeared recently on TV. Yet here again there is a danger. We get
to like watching TV so much that it begins to dominate our lives. A friend of
mine told me that when his TV set broke he & his family suddenly found that
they had much more time to do things.
The most important thing which is really criticizing
is poor quality of the programs and its harmful effect on children. For example
the film "Natural Born Killers" teaches children to kill and there
was one accident in France when a group of teenagers kill their parents.
There are many arguments for and against TV. I think
we must understand that TV in itself is neither good nor bad. TV is as good or
as bad as we make it.
