Do you agree or diagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. |
It is debatable that television has destroyed communication among friends and family or not. I totally disagree with this statement because of several reasons. Watching television could give us more topics to talk about between friends or family. Also, even though we watch television, it does not mean that television destroys communication among friends and family.
Firstly, most people enjoy watching television since it provides us dramas, movies and show program. There are many interesting programs and it gives us to have more topics to talk about. Like, teenagers use to have conversation about their daily life and watching television is in one part of the life stories. They watch whatever they like to, then it becomes issue in their conversation. For example, when I was in high school, i used watch television at least one or two hours a day, then next day me and all ma friends used to talk about a show program and so on. As we can see, if we do not watch television, it is kind of hard to follow the conversation between friends. This is trully what happens nowadays. Therefore, watching television never destroys communication among friends.
Secondly, it is true that many families hardly have a chat nowadays since parents are busy and chilidren are busy too with their study. I am pretty sure that only the time family can seat together and have a conversation would be when we watch television together, having dinner. watching television together and having dinner does not mean that we just seat and quietly watching and eating. We discuss about the topic of a show or drama, movie. Like, how is the story going on or about the thing that a show program tries to tell us. It could be really helpful by having conversation with those things because we can share our ideas each other. For instance, my family used to have dinner together and watching television. We start talk about our daily life then discuss about the television program that we watch. It makes us to argue each other in a good way, so we are able to learn something from others since some family members have different thoughts.
To sum up, watching television does not destroy communication between friends and family. On the contrary, it makes us can have more communication. Well, maybe if we watch television too much, here, too much means like watching television whole day, then maybe it would destroy our communication between friends and family. However, who is going to watch television like that since everybody has something to do everyday. |
