▶ Your Answer :
An intriguing topic of discussion is how people’ act are
effected by mass media such as movies or television. The answer to this
question can vary greatly, depending on individual point of views. Thus, the
jury may still be out, but as far as i’m concerned, I think that it has
negative effect on people’ behavior. In this essay, I will present two reasons
supporting my standpoint as follows.
First, watching movies and television make people waste
of their time. I guess that all of you have experiences that you give up doing
homework or meeting friends because of watching them. Since they are sometimes
too exciting and addictive so that they attract us to want to spend more and
more time with them. One of my close friends is best example of it. When me and
my friends had time to spare after the university exam, no one could not find
him and know where he was. Most my friends spend their time very effectively to
work for cafes or restaurants to earn tuition fee and learn foreign language
but we had never heard his news. And, after three months, we finally met him in
front of his home and heard that he had stayed all days at home to watch Japan
Drama.I was really shocked because of him because he told us that he felt that
the world in the drama is better than real world.
Second, some movies and television programs cause
excessive consumption. Directors of them are likely to include luxurious and
splendid characters and environments in their works in order to attract people
and from them people are generally compare the characters’ life with their own
life. It is sure that they want to live similar life that main characters live
on the drama. Thus, they purchase the clothes that actors wear , cars or houses
on them. For example, in my country, if a famous women actor wears particular
hand bag on drama, it is likely to be sold out in very short time because women
watchers of them directly go to shops to buy them as soon as they find out the
name of model. However more serious problem is many young students and workers
buy them although they do not have enough money to have them.
In conclusion, I strongly argue for my standpoint on
account of the two reasons mentioned above. Once again, although the verdict
may still be out, I personally believe that two of my rationales above are
sufficiently convicting enough to represent the viewpoints of a majority of
people who are in favor of my claim. |
