Violence In The Media

Is television a good invention, or is it one of the worst inventions of modern times? This is a question that can be argued in many different areas. A lot of people say that television is a bad invention because the shows that are aired promotes violence, sex, and many other topics that are not suitable for everyone. People also say that television separates families in their home. In many homes, there are television sets in almost every room. This can reduce the amount of time families spend together, because every member of the family can watch a different television at the same time.

Despite all of the negative outcomes from television, I think that television was a good invention. I think television is a source that keeps people updated on what is happening around the world. Although you can receive information from newspapers, radio, and the Internet, I believe that television gives you the best visual description. Local news programs is a very good way of hearing and seeing what is going on in your area. The news comes on many times out the day, so if anything changes, the news is probably the quickest way for you to find out.

Another positive thing about television is the educational shows. Children can watch television and learn a lot of material that is taught in school. If a child is too young to start school, there are shows that can give them an early start, and at the same time, kids may find it fun. This can motivate children to want to go to school and learn more.

I think that there are some television shows that are violent, but at the same time, sends a positive message. Good examples of these type shows are, "The Wire" and "Oz." "The Wire" is a show that airs on HBO, that takes place on the streets. The show focuses on real life situations on the streets and in the drug game. It shows both, the positive and negative results of selling drugs, but I think the negative results stand out more
