Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
For decades the time people spent in watching television has soared along with prevalence of television. However, it is unreasonable to merely owe the deficiency of communication among friends and family to the television, which on the contrary exerts vital impact in communication among people.
In the first place, it is miscellaneous reasons that destroyed communication among people. Ranking as among the most primary ones were the hectic life style and many other media, rather than television. Owing to the quick pace of life, modern people have little time to date and talk frequently. They are always busy in working, tackling tasks, doing business and so on so forth. Besides, internet bring side effect on communication as well. Besides, internet also undermines the communication. With email and chatting on line, which are both provided by internet, people are inclined to send messages as their main way of contact, rather than make a date or talk face to face. While internet makes life more convenient, messages that one sends or receives through emails or chatting online looks mechanical and cold. From this point of view such a switch really contributes detriments to communication. As for television, it is just among innumerous reasons; the negative influence of television which compared to that mentioned the above facts is really slight.
What’s more, as a good way of entertainment and getting information, television provides a prodigious amount of topics for audiences. Television has various programs, including news, talk show, and drama. News and current affairs, towards which we always share our attitudes and opinion, provided by news, public figures or idols we learned from talk show and the plot and characters in drama are all excellent topics for chatting. For instance, my mum is quite excited when talking with other women about their favorite characters in a given drama.
Additionally, watching television together with families is beneficial for communication among families. It becomes a common habit to seat ourselves together on sofa, watching television after dinner. Take my personal experience as an instance; I really enjoy watching television together with my families. We laugh at the funny things in comics, give our opinion about affairs in news, and sometimes just talk about trifles of our daily lives. How warm and harmonious it is! In this way, television offers a good chance to stay together, share opinion and talk to each other, especially for families.
To conclude, as far as the communication among people was concerned, the benefits broungt by television, including we get abundant topics and more chance to communicate, outweigh the disadvantage that watching television potentially is a waste of time.
