TV's Influence on Society (not about food)

               

             Everyone watches television. Whether you’re young or old, there is always something on TV for you.

          There are so many different types of shows, and each show has a different message that gives to the viewers. These messages are what we call “values”. Values are very important and very sensitive. All of us have different opinions therefore even if the show means well, others may still take its message negatively, and it has greatly affected our society. Television greatly affects people’s minds, and we are easily influenced by it. Taking telenovelas as an example, we know that when there is a love story, conflicts are always there and there will be someone who will try to ruin the relationship of the two lovers. Therefore, others who are in a relationship are scared to take risks and are very pressured. Others who watch action movies tend to think that reality goes the same way action movies do. They become violent and active. Comedy shows, on the other hand, teach people not to be serious, and other people go overboard that they take everything as a joke already.

             On the upside of television, values can also mean well to people. Some shows teaches people how to do things in cases of emergencies, and others teach good deeds that will help society improve themselves. In comedy shows, we are taught not to be serious all the time and that some situations can still be solved.

              In the end, it is still up to people and it depends on us whether or not to take shows seriously. We are still the ones responsible for our actions and we are the ones who control our minds.
