Technology has developed very much, and there have been many new appearances. Among them I would say that visual technology has been developed the most. As television and movies appeared, there have been many effects on the society. There has been some negative effects, but I personally agree to the statement that television and movies have more good effects than bad ones.
To start with, television is a fast way to receive information. There are many broadcasting associations in diverse countries. They try to capture the events happening around the world. Those captured events are shown on the news or other programs on television. Instead of waiting for tomorrow’s newspaper or someone to tell you the news, you can simply sit on your couch and watch the news.
Next, it has become easier to relieve stress. As people live, there are many places in which they receive stress from. Before the development of visual entertainment, there has been few ways to relieve stress and people, such as my grandfather, tended to rely on alcohol or cigarettes. After the development of visual entertainment, people can watch comedy shows on television or go to the movies and watch a well-made film.
Lastly, television is actually good for children’s education. Nowadays, there are television channels, for example EBS of Korea, that show programs that are for education. Children can see cartoons and other program that teach them manners and the basic knowledge of life. Not only television, but also movies can educate children as well. There are educational films that teach children lessons about life.
To wrap up, although visual development has some bad effects on the society, it still has more positive effects such as education or entertainment. It can also provide information faster than newspapers or gossip. By these reasons I firmly agree to the statement that movies and television has more good effects. |
