Topic 7
Television and movies now have become one of the most essential elements of our daily lives. They provide news and entertainments to us and maybe the easiest way to obtain information at present. Undoubtedly, television and movies have widely influence on our behavior. The promotion of globalization, the aesthetic standard, and the custom of getting message are the three most important aspects of the influence that mass media give us.
Firstly, from television and movies, we can know many incidents and the different views about them, and that promotes the globalization. The television stations all over the world broadcast almost all kinds of news, such as, domestic news, international news, sports news, entertainment news, economic news and so on. You can get whatever you want to know. We watch the same movie, listen to the same music, talk about the same topic, and these shorten the distances between people in different countries or regions. For instance, I am a movie fan. My favorite is American movies which produced in Hollywood, like The God Father, The Legends of the fall, Brave Heart, and Titanic. By watching these movies I found that I understand American people better than ever before.
Television and movies make us to be accustomed to get information from pictures more and more. Since books were the main source of spreading knowledge and information, we used to be accustomed to reading. But television changed this custom. Many people like watching television rather than reading books or newspapers. And only after the adaptation to movie scriptures do a number of literature works became well known.
Moreover, our aesthetic standards are always influenced by the images appearing in movies and television. Teenagers adore movies stars very much. And they also mock their idols’ hair styles, clothes, words and actions. They may think some thing are beautiful, only for a television star’s advertisement.
In conclusion, television and movies impact human behavior in many aspects. We should utilize the positive impacts, while get rid of the negative ones or minimize them.
