#007 How do movies or television influence people's behavior? USe reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
These days, the power of influence of movies or television has increased by entering an era of mass media. As people live in a wide range of media, people can’t over look about its impact on people’s behavior. Personally, I am positive that movies or television create strong bond for family as well as change people’s spending habits.
First and foremost, movies or television enable people to spend quality time with their family. It is largely because television encourages people to gather together in the living room and to have conversations while comfortably watching interesting programs. For example, every Friday night, all my family members come together to watch musicals on the Theater Channel. My family members become closer by sharing our thoughts, laughing together, and not to mention praising the beautiful songs while watching fun musicals. If it had not been for movies and television, my family would not have a time of conversation.
In addition, movies or television plays a pivotal role in forming people’s habits. It is mainly attributed to the fact that people tend to imitate their role model who is shown through soap opera, advertisements and even sporting events. To illustrate, a number of examinations by Hyundai research, one of the prestigious institute, have clearly demonstrated that more than 80 percent people in Korea watch movies or television programs for three hours everyday. People will perform language and consumption habits by seeing and hearing program such as news, advertisements, and movies. Likewise, people’s behavior pattern is performed by repeat image stimulation.
In a nutshell, I strongly convinced that movies and television affect not only to make people’s habits but also to come into close relation with family. The reason is that, mass media plays a significant role in spreading a lot of information and joining people’s leisure time. Therefore, it can’t be underestimated that people must handle movies and television according to positive aspects range from personal behaviors to social atmosphere.
