Television has become one of human’s major utilities. Some people say we get addicted to watch TV so it causes destroying communication. However, I have converse mind that it actually helps people to communicate because of two major reasons: providing topics to converse and encouraging you to talk.
First of all, watching television shows provides a topic to talk about. The way to approach to unfamiliar people is that talks to them about common things. Practically, watching a television is one of the major way to spend rest time to most of people. People may have common shows that they have watched. Then, the topic will ease awkward feeling when you converse with unfamiliar people. To be specific, i have personal experience. Im South Korean and I went to the U.S. in order to learn English. But, it was an extremely hard work to make a conversation freely with American. So, I watched one of the poplular shows which name is American Idol. Fortunately, it comes really easy to me making communication by talking about television show.
Next, watching television actually urges us to talk. People feel funny, sad, interested, grave, and so on by watching TV. Whenever they feel it, they are encouraged to converse about what they have felt. It is human instinct. To illustrate this point, movie will fit on it. Let’s say you watch movie with your family in movie theater. After movie, the first thing your family talk about will be the movie that your family just watched. They naturally like to converse about how they feel and how the movie about. Some may feel satisfied or disappointed. With their own opinions, communication will be automatically made.
In conclusion, television offers some topics to communicate. It also encourages you to make a conversation. On the whole, television is not one factor that make people get addicted, but help them communicate. |
