Television is a good thing, because it gives people enjoyment and keeps them informed as well. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Television brings significant changes in term of giving the easiness to entertain and educate people today. Despite its positive things, I personally think that the undesirable effects should be considered.
Apparently, I agree with the notion that TV has opened and expanded the dissemination of news and knowledge. In this era, people are easy to gather information offered by TV programmes such as animal world, political news and history. They also have many options t watch TV channels according to their preferences. In Indonesia for example, a majority of city dwellers have registered to a cable television like the IndoVision which provides not only news but also many entertaining shows and scientific information.
Notwithstanding these favourable arguments, there are some detrimental effects if someone rely too much on seeing television as well as be a passive person acquiring information displayed on TV. One reason is that some TV channels have biased toward certain issues such as religion or a political party. For instance, during the presidential election of Indonesia, there is a strong tendency of TV channel to the one candidate of president due to the fact that this media have been owned and funded by a political leader.
Eventually, this media often promote and disclose only good news of such candidate without a balance opinion or critique. Also, most of TV show also obligate to censor some entertaining shows or news because not all viewers, particularly for children, conform to which such as war news.
On balance, despite the positive outcomes of TV, I content that not all information depicted on TV is trustworthiness, and some TV channels are less fitted with certain viewers.
