Some people think that television has destroyed communication among friends and family. In my opinion, however, TV provides people with various subjects to talk about, and it introduces a variety of entertainment that can be shared with friends.
To begin with, there are many different subjects that TV covers with diverse genres of programs and channels. These themes are highly beneficial for the family to have a colorful conversation. For instance, every Sunday, my whole family gathers in the living room and watches the TV program “100-minute-debate”. After the broadcast discussion ends, we also conduct the debate with the subject that is already covered in the show. This custom in my house is extremely helpful for me to develop my speaking and writing skill, and have my own logic. Without the television, there might be no chance to have such a long communication with my family in a regular basis, even though all of the family members are busy for work or study.
On top of that, there are a lot of TV programs which introduce a number of things to hang out and eat out. This definitely serves as a momentum for meeting friends. For example, I usually watch the program that recommends the delicious and beautiful – but not well-known so far – restaurants and cafes in Seoul, where I live in. Also, it became one of my favorite pastimes to visit those bistros or pubs with my intimate friends. In other words, thanks to the TV program, I and my friends meet twice a month to pay a visit to an introduced restaurant, and we usually have a long conversation in greater depth with the gorgeous dishes. Afterwards, we go to the theater to see a movie which is recommended by the TV program, “The Film of this Week”. Those kinds of activities allow us to nurture relationships deeper, because the more time we spend together, the stronger our friendship became.
To summarize, the TV programs suggests varied topics for the discussion, and brings out luxurious amenities that are good ways to spend time with friends and family. In this regard, I feel the communication can be more colorful by the television set.
