텔레비전의 목적은 교육적이어야 한다 VS 흥미위주 여야한다. - |
There is a ongoing debate whether the purpose of TV is educational or entertaining. Many people insist that television should be educational in order to increase their knowledge. In opposition to this point, I stongly agree that television should focus on the entertaning. The rationale behind this is that we can remove the stress and have more chance for family gathering.
Firstly, We may relieve our stress. We are under various situation to have stress, such as overtime working or dispute with friends. However, by watching entertainment programs, we may forget about worries and feel refreshed after laughing loudly. To illustrate, I used to watch comedy sitcomes such as 'sex in the city' and felt comfortable, getting away of stress through absorbing myself to the program. My personal experience shows that the aim of television is to be entertaining, to make people more enjoyable.
What is more, interesting television programs spur familly members to join and gather. Although, viewers of educational progam are usually constrained to those who want to study certain subjects, entertaining programs appeal to almost every member of familly. Thus, parents and children can seat together easily so as to watch interesting programs. For instance, I used to watch exciting dramas with my parents and we used to gather in the living room before the program starts. Despite of the busy schedule, we could meet each other and share the affections. This clearly shows that the goal of the television should be entertaining for familly reunion.
In conclusion, television should be entertaning rather than educational since entertaning programs enable us to remove the stress and meet with familly members more frequently. All in all, it is high time for us to pay more attention to the entertaining programs, and broadcasting stations to invest more on that. |
