Since television has been invented, there have been many controversies because of its negative effects. So many parents prohibit their children from watching TV and even some parents abandon their TV. But I disagree with that ideas. Today, communication skill becomes one of the most important trait of people. And I think that TV is important tool in communication.
First, they are very common source of talking. On TV there are many programs like daily news, soap operas, music shows and documentaries. Even in these day, we could study with TV by watching education channels. And these programs are really good source in talking with people. Such as story about the popular soap opera, musics and social issues. According to one research, In people's talks, TV shows and soap operas's story takes almost 50%. And even students who don't watch dramas which is in fashion can't join their friends.
Second, TV gives chance to gather people. As family have their own job, they don't have enough time to gather. But by watching TV they could have family communication time. While watching TV they could talk about their routine and enjoy talk. For example, because my parents are busy working, we don't have enough time to talk with. But everyday night while enjoying soap opera, we gather and enjoy talking.
As korean old saying "Even sunny spots has shady sopts" goes. Altough TV has many drawbacks, It has benefits in some aspects. Even tough it has some harmful effects that I mentioned first I think that TV is very important tools in our communication. Because it give sources for talking and chance to communicate with our family. So we should take not drawbacks of TV but good aspect of it.
