In many countries it is now possible to turn on the television and view government at work. Watching these proceedings can help people understand the issues that affect their lives. The more kinds of government proceedings—trials, debates, meetings, etc—that are televised, the more society will benefit.

In a world that propagates democracy, people should know about more and more political things. And television is the right means to attain this goal.
To begin with, for the publics, televising government proceedings, such as trials, debates, meetings, and so on will benefit a lot. On the one hand, since these government proceedings are supervised by most people, those who want to make their own profits when comply some procedures will find it very hard to accomplish their willing. On the contrary, if particular process are not known by television, even if they take a lot of money from the total used for city construction and tell their superior they spent such money for buying materials, they will not be worried about being found later. In this sense, letting the publics know these proceedings can avoid guilt behaviors of some relevant officials as well as can save a great amount of money for our government.
On the other hand, the publics can give government immediate feedbacks about one procedure, which may cause government takes measures that are more benefit for them. For example, in our country, workers always six days a week in the past and more often than not most of them feel very tired. When the nation council open meeting on whether decreasing work time of workers or not, everyone can watch the whole process of this meeting when those representatives talked this problem. Because this meeting encourage ordinary people tell their views by telephone when it was hold, so many people then said that they hope reduce their working time in one week so that they can work more efficiently next week. In the end a law that each worker works not more than 40 hours a week and have at least 2 days for a rest once a week was produced. Therefore, people have more leisure time nowadays and can enjoy their life better than before. If we do not have the right to know this meeting then, it is not hard to imagine we still have to work hard day after day.
Meanwhile, government can be more effective by televising what they do. As an old Chinese saying says that two heads are better than one. Although government officials are trained for their occupations before, the number of them is limited and their wisdom is restrained by their experiences. If their trials, debates, meetings are known to the publics, who may provide many good suggestions. In addition, when government meets difficult problems and the average person know it by watching television; officials can be inspired by the publics s. For example, several years ago, Chinese government had trials with the World Trade Organization and many countries oppose the entrance of China to this organization, when people knew it, almost everyone in this country support Chinese government. Under this circumstance, who want to give up, although those officials have met much defeat? Eventually, China is admitted to enter in the WTO. Without support from its people, the last trial may not success.
In conclusion, since letting the publics know more about what government is doing benefit both of them, this means should be largely applied in many countries. |
