Topic008: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
Television is a great invention. People thought so at least at its invented time, while in modern time there has been a tendency that television has taken more and more time of people. Even it was thought to have destroyed the communication among friends and family. As to me, I don't agree with this point.
Television has no fault itself. If people like watching TV and ignore communicating, it does not contribute to TV which is an object only. People can completely control their actions by themselves. Even if there are very wonderful programs on TV, people should consider whether they still have work or housework to do, whether they need walk around or have a rest, and whether they should care for their family. I have the experience. When I was at high school, I liked watching TV very much and my family as well. When we came back from school or work, the first thing was to turn on TV. In order not to miss any episode, We had dinner in front of the TV. Generally, I found I had nothing to talk with my parents and felt isolated from them. It did not become well until we had cut the time on wathcing TV. The most important thing for people who watch TV is that they should be selective and do not let TV disturb their normal lives.
Furthermore, TV has the function of adding more topics for people's communication. Our friends of the same age may like watching sports, or seeing detective films. So, we can invite them to look at these programs in our home, eating snacks and drinking soda. We can applaud at the wonderful parts of programs, develop our imagination to solve the difficulty in films, and debate on different opinions. I think it provides us another type of entertainment besides playing cards, singing karaoke, and having meals with friends. In the same way we can share good programs with our family too. Sometimes, parents understand us much more by knowing our opinions on plays and thus decrease the distinctions between generations.
In conclusion, TV does not prevent the normal communication between people, on the contrary, the difficulty in communication is caused by people themselves. Of course, people must control their time on watching TV and concern talking with others often.
