Most people think that watching movies are beneficial and enjoyable because movies transfer the massages directly to people. Also, people understand well about the topic through images. However, in my point of view, reading a book is more enjoyable than watching movies since the reading a book is effective to improve the creativity and imagination and also it provides readers to the in-depth knowledge of the book.
First of all, although watching movies don’t exist on any stimulations for the human’s thinking power due to the direct message through the images, novels or short stories excite the human’s thinking ability because in order to recognize the main purpose of a story, viewer should imagine continuously about it. As a result, this activity is helpful to enhance the human’s imagination. For example, Steve jobs who is CEO of apple company is famous as the innovative businessman because the new products of his company such as iphone and ipad make global people be surprised. He always emphasized on the important of reading books. This is his knowledge source of diverse effective business strategies and many innovative products.
In addition, unlike movies, reading a book allows people to the in-depth knowledge of an author. Let’s see Jeck Welch who was president of GE. We can usually meet with him through media through TV. However, we cannot perceive his business philosophy on TV. However, his books give much information about his philosophy, leadership skill, the businessman’s attitude. Without books described him we would not recognize these factors.
In brief, sometimes watching movies or TV is considered as an enjoyable thing. However, in my opinion, novels and short stories are more profitable due to the enhancement of human creativity and the conveyance of the author’s depth opinion. |
