Television now plays such an important part in so many people's lives that
it is essential for us to try to decide whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Obviously, television has both advantages and disadvantages.
As is often pointed out, television keeps one better informed about the
current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in politics and
science, and offers endless series of programs which are both instructive and
stimulating. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most
attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one's room. Yet here again,
there is a danger. The main problem with TV has been its effect on young people.
They are now so used to getting their information and education and
entertainment from television that their literacy as well as physical ability
have greatly been weakened. Worse than all, rubbish commercials and harmful
programs lead to bad tastes and a distorted viewpoint towards human life, and
even poison one's mind, contributing to the rise in violence and crime in the
street.www.for68.com
In any case, whether the ultimate effect of TV is good or not, one thing is
certain that television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses to
which it is put that determine its value to society. (216 words). |
