▶ Your Answer :
Some people might believe that TV should be
used for instructing people rather than entertaining them. However, I
personally believe that television should be used to please people for
subsequent reasons. First, people in modern society get a lot of stress.
Second, it will be a useful source to socialize. To begin with, today's society is becoming
more competitive. To be specific, people accumulate stress from workplace or
school. They definitely need a some kind of means to relieve stress. Since
almost everyone has television at home, TV programs should be designed to
refresh viewers. According to the research done by CNN, Cable Network News, a
group of people who watched entertaining TV shows regularly showed less suicide
rate than the other group that didn't watch TV. The result clearly reveals that
there is a relationship between watching entertaining programs and reliving
stress. On top of that, watching entertaining
television programs helps us socialize with others. This is because, by
building a good sense of humor, we can have many funny stories to talk when we
meet people. Especially, it will be useful for ice breaking if you meet new
people. For example, when I was in a high school, I enrolled in other high school
because my family moved to other area. In the first day of the new school, I
was so shy that I could not talk to other students. However, since I had heard
other students talking about the TV show that I regularly watch, I could easily
fit in to their group by discussing the TV show with them. It would be
difficult for me to socialize if I watched non-entertaining TV programs because
people do not talk about it much.
To sum up, entertaining TV programs can
relieve people's stress and help them socialize with others. In this regard, it
is better to show people entertaining shows. |
