What`s the first thing you do when you come home? Perhaps you answer 'Take off shoes', but I think you may turn on the TV as soon as get into the room to watch interesting TV programs. Increasing a number of new channels 'Cable TV' makes people choose their favorite programs, such as drama, movie and documentary. A lot of programs broadcasted a few year ago can watch again at certain channels. It`s within bounds to say that 'TV-Dominated' society. Then people cannot live without TV because of these reasons.
1st, it become a habit to us. Most of people turn on the TV as soon as they arrive at home. TV is chattering while we eat a dinner, take a shower, even play computer games. If TV doesn`t work at the same time, many people felt emptiness because of the silence. Moreover, some of the people addicted to TV for the same reason. It is difficult to them not to watch TV.
2nd, it inform us a lot of things. Though the internet become a huge medium in recently, TV is still one of the main sources people gain informations. By watching TV programs, we can get news, popularity, knowledge and cooking skills. Since the modern society requires a lot of knowledge to the people, they want to watch TV which can get information easier than other ways.
3rd, it play the role of 'Trend-setter'. Most people are talking about the TV programs, such as 'HAEPUMDAL', a popular historical drama. We chatter about actors apperance, speech and our feelings. TV also makes a trend not only fashion but even the political issues. A lot of newspaper articles are closely related to these trends, connected with TV programs.
TV makes so many things related to people. Symbiotic relationship between TV and us can be a huge advantage to grow the human culture. As long as people want to get their knowledge needs, TV will exist on our table.
Jung Se Ra : How about to change "It become a habit to us" -> "It become a part of us"(in 2nd paragraph)? It's just a suggestion but, when I read this essay, I feel like in that manner. And, in next paragraph, how about adding 'etc' after "cooking skills"? Because it can make reader think there are really a lot of things. I like the numbering in your text. It makes reading easier, I think.
ReplyDeleteI really like your hook. It interests me. I like the word 'TV- dominated' society. TV is really full of programms and channels you cannot even count. I also like the part where you say eating dinner while watching TV, because i do that too. I like the way you organized your thought, but if there is only one thing i would like to change is that changing 1st, 2nd, 3rd into First, Second, Third.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your ideas with us. I also wrote about same topic but the idea was whole different so it was very interesting to me. I like you pointed out reasons why people cannot life without it very specifically because that actually persuaded me. But if you develop your essay referring opposite side of opinion, it would be also good :)
