▶ Your Answer :
Television plays a significant role in people’s daily lives. Some people think that television should be used to instruct people rather than to entertain them, while others not. If I were asked to choose one, I would say that television has to be used to entertain people rather than to instruct them. There is a reason as follows.
Television allows people to release their stress and helps them to refresh themselves. Nowadays, many people live in competition world and under the higher stressful situation. After doing work, they need to relieve their stress and most people watch television for their evening time. Therefore, instruction channel is good, but entertainment channel is better to them for rest. For example, Seoul National University studied about 1000 people’s favorite programs and their preferences. According to the study, 70% of people chose entertainment programs such talk show, and comedian for their favorite show. Some of them said that their lives were very hard, so they did not want to watch programs dealing with serious program like documentary. Also, some of them thought that watching television time was their only time that no one interpreted their lives. Even, 5% of people laughed only when they watched a television comedian show in whole day. On the other hand, only 3% of people liked instructed program such as documentaries, news, and current events and politics shows. However, they watched entertainment programs for 40% of time that they watched television. They had a lot of attention to current events and politics shows, but they said they could not watch it for whole day. This means that television should be funny things rather than instructed and serious things.
All things considered, I strongly believe that television should be used to entertain people rather than to instruct them for the reason I already discussed.
