Topic :The purpose of television should be educational, not entertaining | |
|
A decade ago, people in Korea, especially high school students, were enthusiastic viewers in SAT practice programs broadcasted by a commercial broadcasting station. The reason was that the company provided varied and qualified education programs with no charge. Since then, people started to deliberate over the role of TV in a society. However, I don’t believe that TV have any limitation about the purpose because people still consider TV as effective tools of entertainment and there exists many more efficient and alternate methods for the education.
No one denies that the TV has very intriguing function: entertainment. After arduous work, many people want to search adequate places or methods to relieve their stress and choose to take a rest in a home with a TV. Albeit many kinds of entertainment are around us, they choose TV because many people expect that TV could get rid of their bothersome from the choice and give big pleasure. Assuming that TV should be utilized as an educational purpose, people cannot help losing the most affordable and useful function as an entertainment in our lives when considering only the aspect of cost to use substitutive facilities. For example, if I go to watch movie or amusement park, I should pay not only service or rental fee but also extra money such as transportation fee and meal costs. It is certain that movie, sports, and other hobbies are great for relaxing and could help people forget the hardship time from their lives. However, It values the TV that the TV would be probably only equipment which we can enjoy every moment when we need comparing with others and makes the argument that the role of TV should be restricted in education excessive.
Additionally, students and many people have their unique methods to study and get information without TV. Since TV adopts one way communication, there are many restrictions to use it. That means that students can study more effectively with helpers, computers or telephones, which are available to communicate with the two-way. If students have some inquiries while studying, they could upload the problems, and take the proper answers from Internet or education telephone service. For this reason, people are not adhering to the TV as an educational purpose any longer. For example, according to the survey conducted by education department under the government, the internet education programs were used the most for the previous 3 years in homes as well as school for study. It is true that without the sacrifice of TV, students’ thirsty for education have been relieved by better equipments.
To sum up, the role of TV doesn’t need to be confined in education. The better and efficient computers can answer students’ questions day and night. In addition, TV is the most and powerful our friends to be relaxed and make us happy with myriads of enjoyable TV programs. I believe that TV would be forever with our lives for entertainment. | |
