Some people believe that the spread of TV has made families less close. To
what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
As one of the most important inventions of the past century, TV is playing a
more and more important role in modern life. However, some people are
starting to worry about its negative effects on traditional families. I am
convinced that the existence of TV has brought about alienation among
family members.
First, watching TV occupies our time to communicate with our families. TV
provides a ready means of relaxation for people who spend their days doing
routine and busy jobs. As soon as TV enters into our home, most of our free
time is controlled by it. What is more, the one-eyed monster requires
absolute silence and attention. If any member dares to open his mouth, the
others order him to shut up immediately. Therefore, we communicate less
with our family members.
Furthermore, families often quarrel over what programs they should watch.
Thanks to hardworking TV workers, we enjoy more TV channels and more
colorful TV programs. But a question has arisen: it is difficult for families to
choose a common channel because they have different interests. The father
of the family wants to watch the news program, while the mother of the
family wishes to watch a soap opera series. The son of the family wants to
watch the sports program while the daughter of the family likes to watch the
music channel. It is inevitable to give rise to quarrel among them.
In addition, poor-quality TV programs can have severe effects on people's
mood and behavior. For instance, a person who watches too many idealized
programs may become unrealistic. Moreover, unhealthy programs which
contain obscene and violent contents may cause people's curiosity.
In conclusion, I think that TV indeed has led alienation among family
members. We should be aware about the problem. Something should be
done as soon as possible to protect the families from the negative effects of
television. For example, we should reduce the time spent in front of the little
screen and spend more time with our families together.
