There
might be some people who believe that television should be used to instruct
people. However, I personally disagree with the above idea for two reasons; creation
of strong bond, and reduction of stress.
To
begin with, it is better for the relationship. It creates chance for you and
your family or friends to spend time together and have fun. It encourages open
communication by making people feel more comfortable about sharing their thoughts
while enjoying the TV show. A study published by human psychology research center
(HPRC) illustrated that point. People tend to express their opinions on a wide
range of topics provided that relaxed and safe setting is created by having fun
with them. Topics that are considered to be embarrassing or difficult to
discuss normally could be brought up easily while entertaining. Comparatively, if
you watch TV solely for education, chats would only be about study which is
just so formal. The end result is that people build very close and enduring
relationships.
On
top of that, watching TV for entertainment is a good to relieve stress. To be
specific, people today are under a lot of pressure and stress due to the
competitiveness of today’s society. Relieving stress by having a good time
watching hilarious TV programs will help people focus better at school or work.
Let me bring up my personal story as an example. When I was in high school, I was
always under a lot of stress because I had to study so much for the university
entrance exam. During that time, I visited my friend’s house often and watched
TV shows with her. While we were enjoying entertaining TV shows, I could forget
about my stress. This helped me feel refreshed and focus better at school the
next day. If it hadn’t been for the entertaining TV shows with my friend, my
academic performance have been lower.
To
sum up, the use of television to entertain people can not only strengthen relationship
with friends or family, but also get rid of stress. In this regard, I believe
television should be used to entertain people.
