Watching television which has played a
significant role in modern society have affected people's life in any way. Some
people think that television should be used to entertain people. This notion,
however, does not reflect the stance I hold and should be thought in a
different light. I believe that television should be used to instruct people
because it enables them to gain new and useful information and enjoy a better
quality of life.
First, watching television allows people to
acquire updated and useful information. Initially, I thought that people should
use television to be entertained. However, after having read many expert
opinions from major newspapers, I realized that people have few chances to get
more up-to date information if they use television for instruction and not for
entertainment. There are tons of new and useful knowledge on television. This
is because the television's contents from many companies and broadcast stations
that want viewers to watch and use their information constantly have changed in
every day. Their competition leads to produce latest information, and if the
viewers more often watch television they have more chances to obtain new and
useful knowledge. This was convincing enough to change my initial thoughts, and
I learned that people should use television to instruct themselves and gain
updated and useful information.
Second, watching television allows people to
enjoy a better quality of life. Interestingly, a renowned social scientist in
South Korea published an article in "The Korean Herald" on Tuesday
which claimed that 62 percent of 2000 Korean people believed they should use
television in order to relieve stress and live a more happy life. The reason is
many people hope to divert their attention from mundane life and to know many
efficient methods to change their life more pleasantly through using television
as one of the most effective implements. On television, there are a lot of
programs to how to decrease stress and for purpose to improve people's lives.
Therefore, by watching television people can reduce stress and enrich their
lifestyle.
To sum up, I agree that
television should be used to instruct people for the following reasons: to gain
new and useful information and enjoy a better quality of life. Consequently,
the importance of my view cannot be underestimated in that it can kill two
birds with one stone for the reasons I have mentioned above.
