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. |
Regarding the problem of the individualized society, some people have suggested that this was mainly caused by television’s effect on weakening communication among friends and family. However, I think that television tends to intensify the relationship with family or friends, rather than destroying that. The reasons why I believe so will be given with some examples below.
First of all, in this modern society, watching television is one of the possible activities at home after school or work in the evening. Nowadays, most people spend their day time outside apart from their family and when they come back home, they are totally exhausted. That is, they would prefer taking a rest or doing some sedentary things which dose not require lots of energy consumption. Then, what they can do together with family or friends is virtually limited. In this range, watching television is the most enjoyable activity, considering that it covers various topics, from soup operas to news, and does not demand any physical activity. In addition, television provides more common topics for communication, regardless of age. Having common topics allows people to have chances to understand each other better by offering enough time to communicate. Especially, this can reduce the generation gap between parents and sons or daughters. For instance, since my mother started to be interested in watching television, we could talk about some famous actors or actress. This made me feel my mother much closer, like a friend in my age and also, this made it easier to understand each other. So much so, we could get less quarrels. On the whole, for these reasons, I strongly disagree with the statement that television has prompted communication among family members and friends to be destroyed. I guess that without television, this trend of weakening relationship with family and friends would have been worse. |
