Are You For Or Against TV?

 

Whether we realise it or not, TV plays a very important part in our life.

It’s the main source of information and a cheap form of entertainment for millions of people.

It’s the window into the world which gives us an opportunity to “travel” all over the world, to “meet” different people and learn about their customs and traditions.

It has the power to educate and broaden our minds.

Besides it helps us to relax after a hard day’s work and escape from reality.

There’s always a great variety of programmes on TV: news and sports programmes, talk shows and TV games, documentary and feature films, reality shows, concerts and etc.

Of course, not all programmes are good. But many are made in good taste and with great professional skills.

Some people argue that television is a terrible waste of time. It makes us lazier. We stay at home instead of going out. We read less. We even talk less.

Violence on TV is another ptoblem that worries people. As George Mikes once said, TV teaches us “how to kill, to rob, to shoot and to poison”. But the same can be said about computer games and many films. And if you don’t like a certain programme, why watch it?
