▶ Your Answer :Some people think that television has influenced society more than books. However, in my opinion, reading books has a positive effect on people's behavior and attitudes rather than watching television. There are two reasons. One reason is that contexts of books can be more memorable than watching TV. The other reason is that television mainly consists of TV shows to deal with simple things like humor etc. To begin with, If I watch TV, we do not remember contexts of television for a long time. As people read some books, they can broaden their creativity and it usually helps people remember the books. For example, when I was in high school, I read a book about air pollution. At that time, I thank the situation that people struggled to the diseases and sky is blurry since air pollution. So, I still remember the book. In contrast, last year I watched some TV shows about the environment and after watching the shows, I do not remember contexts of the TV shows today. The reason is that I got a knowledge about the TV shows passively and thus I do not remember them for a long day. In addition, television is largely formed of TV shows to deal with the humor etc. Generally, television is a method that people relieve stress. Therefore, television has a few programs like lecture about society or economy. A study conducted by Samsung to determine whether television could affect on people's behavior and attitudes. The researchers studied the outcomes and recorded that the television has influenced people a little. The reason is that watching television is very passive activity. To sum up, books can be more memorable compared to the television. Moreover, television has deal with trivial things. For these reasons, I firmly believe that books have influenced society more than television has. |
