A.
Almost every day one can hear something about
television. Many label TV as a “drug”, because every day millions of children
spend their time in front of this electronic idol. Others say that TV is
stifling the creativity and independent thoughts for millions. Well, I strongly
disagree with the viewpoint that television is a waste of time.
B.
Thoughts and ideas are the things that make society
dynamic. Thoughts and ideas are the elements out of which creativity and
invention are made. However, no matter how brilliant or useful the thought is,
it is useless to society if it cannot be expressed to others, improved and
utilized. Today, there are many different ways to transfer thoughts and ideas.
Of these, television seems to be one of the quickest ways of presenting an idea
clearly and completely.
C.
To say that television is not important is to say
that learning about other cultures thousands of miles away by seeing and
hearing is a waste of time. In this age of information, television is one of
the most effective means of mass communication available to man. Where else
could millions of people have learnt firsthand about man`s first steps on the
moon or the fall of the Berlin Wall?
D.
Television destroys barriers that separate men; it
unites people who are separated by distance, skin colour, language and wealth.
TV informs and educates… No other medium of the information age is as quick and
as widely used around the world as television.
