The Influence of Television and Movies
There is no doubt that watching television andmovies can influence the way
that people behave.Moreover, it seems that people are spending moreand more time
watching some sort of visualentertainment, whether it is television, a video
tapeor a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored.
One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces people to
buy certainproducts. Television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even
movie theaters permitadvertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people
is that they give people either abroader view of the world or a distorted one,
depending on what type of program they watch.Those who watch news and
educational program can learn many new things while those whowatch primarily
entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the worldpossess
great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their
ownlives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be
unable to tell factfrom fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see on TV
or in the movies.
With the ever-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must
pay attention tothese effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and
informative, cannot take the placeof real experience. |
