Role Of Television Play in Society
Role Of Television Play in Society
For decades we have seen many parts of our world rapidly change because of technology. Today’s society has been transformed be means of communication and the available information through mass media. Many people rely on television for news, sport and entertainment. Television is just one of the many examples of how technology has vhanged our lives. Since the invention of the television in the early 1900’s, it has played a very important role our lives. Having a television set in the home has become, very essential in today’s society. We depend on it to entertain and to inform us about current wo ld issues.
The problem is that sometimes what we hear or see on television is not always accurate or correct. Sometimes news stories give us the wrong information and we believe that it is true be cause it is being said on television. They may give you a story, but they may leave out some details to prove their point or to make the story more interesting. Neil Postman the chair of the Departmentof Culture and Communication, in “future Schlock,” says “Television is not the great, information machine it is the great disinformation machine”.
I agree with his statements because TV tends to mislead us with its stories. I am also in agreement about his opinion that we are “among the most ill-informed people” because we tend to want to watch the entertainment shows and not tune if to the news broadcasts so we are not informed aboaut what is going on in our world. So we are being misinformed by what is supposed to be our main source of information.
Television also tries to persuade us to agree with certain opinion. We are also persuaded to vote for or against an opinion by listening to the music being played in the background of the commercial. An example of this type of situation may be the companion dealing with the Indian Casinos. They play sad, and convincing, music in the background of their commercial so the viewers can soften their hearts and and vote “yes” on their opinion.
Television is powerful enough to make our shopping Network make shopping as easy as dialing some numbers on a phone. People are also convinced to buy it and wear it because they believe that it will make them look like her.
As a Television viewer my self I believe that television has trapped all of us in a world where we believe everything that is being said. As technology keeps advancing there will be less tasks for us to do. Television is one of the many advances in technology that has made our lives easier or should I say it has made us lazier?
