Television is a very powerful medium of influence over large populations. There are many positive aspects to television. For example, it is an educational tool. However many people feel that it is doing irreparable harm. Present argumentation to highlight your opinion on this matter.
In our days Television has very important roll for getting new information’s and also for entertainment. There are different channel’s that presents different things like news, movies, music, educational channel’s and so one. Ever since the television begun broadcasting, people found it very interesting and they accepted it very quickly.
Now we have so many channel’s that we hardly know witch one to look at. In my opinion television is a very powerful medium of influence, like an example if we have to promote some product, we can create a commercial film and we present it on television. In this way we can inform the client about a new product but if we promote this commercial film frequently the potential client will be more and more interested in buying that product. This example provides good proof of how powerful television broadcast can be.
Television can provide harm too. Movies and other documentaries that contain violence can induce certain misbehavior especially on children. In this case big role will have children’s parents that must to prevent them before they can see such material.
Some countries have a certain law for broadcasting violent or obscene material, by introducing a time frame when that material can be broadcasted.
As I’ve mentioned the television is a powerful tool for manipulating a large population or even an entire nation, so it depends if the population is guided correctly or not. There has to exist some institutes that track all the events and kip the control of the media broadcasting.
