Today, the ongoing controversy exists all over the world whether Television has destroyed communication among friends and famil family. It is undeniable that many people spend the bulks of their time on watching television but this activity provided many topics about what family and friends mainly talk(이 부분은 잘 이해가 안가네요. tv를 보기 때문에 가족과 친구들이 이야기할 거리가 생긴다는 건가요?). Moreover it is not the television that destroys communication among family but the Internet does.
To start off with, television gives many topics that enable people to talk about. It is very tiresome to keep on talking about one topic. Therefore they need to change the topics after a few minutes while they are communicating. Variety of topics and subjects that people mainly talk about are broadcasted through television. Moreover, in school, home as well as workplace they share their thoughts and opinions regarding as those these topics at home, work, and in schools. For example, at my home, I am not able to communicate with my parents because I am too busy for studying. However whenever an exciting and shocking news are is broadcasted, my parents call me to watch television together. So it is the only time that I share my thoughts about the news.
In addition, it is a wrong assumption that television cuts down the relationship between family and friends. It helps us to gather in front of the television and talk together. The factor that destroys the communication is Internet. These days, the advancement of Internet made it easier for playing to access online games, surf the internet and watching movies. Therefore many people spend bulks of their time on sitting on chairs in front of the computer alone. This triggered people to stay at home and they are not likely to move out to and enjoy outdoor activities with friends.
I want to illustrate this opinion with an example. I had the a best friend in middle school before he was addicted to Internet. He was always ready to play hang out (play라는 단어는 “놀다”라는 뜻이 맞긴 하지만 어느정도 나이가 있는 사람이 친구랑 놀 때 라는 표현을 할때 쓰면 느낌이 조금 이상해저여~<10대가 써도 이상합니다>) with me and never refused whenever I asked to come hang out but after he was addicted to use of Internet, he never came out to play ourdoor outdoor activity activities with me. As time goes went by, our relationship weakened and we stopped keeping in contact.
To sum up, I firmly believe people are misunderstanding that television is a harmful machine. I assert that the advantages of television outweigh disadvantages ot of it. We need to appreciate the television for providing many topics.
