No one can deny the role of television which makes people to enjoy thier free times as well as release their stresses through entertainment TV programs since television have invented. Although some people think that television encourages people to have conversations with others, others argue that television has destroyed communication among friends and family. In my perspective, I agree with the latter opinion because television disturbs our real conversations and because it reduces our chances to talk with others.
First of all, we cannot focus on the conversations with others while watching TV programs. Television obviously gives a negative effect on our real conversations because we cannot really interact each others as watching TV program. For example, when I was a high school student I had struggled with my grade after I took final test. That night, I wanted to talk to my mother to share my thoughts and give an advice. However, our conversation did not work very well. This is because my mother watched television favorite program during conversation so that my feeling got worse and dissapointed to my mother. Therefore, if we communicated with others while watching television, it is clearly ruin our conversation so that the conversation might not work.
In addition, modern people tend to spend too much time to watching television even though it deprives a chance to communicate each other. As people more and more time of their free time to watch television, they are giving up time for building relationship with others. For example, when I was a undergraduate student I have a roommate who is the most close friend of mine. However, our relationship more and more got worse because she loved watching television rather than hanging out with me. Every night, she just spent her time to television for that reason I cannot communicate with her. Eventually,we were no longer the closest friend in the university. By spending more time watching TV rather than socializing, many people could lose their friends or family memeber.
To sum up, while television has lots of benefits, it has a detrimental effect on our real conversation.
The main problem is that while wathcing television we cannot carry on real conversation and people spend too much time to watch television. If we watched television appropriate level rathen than too much, it can be a good friend in our lives. |
