Topic:"How do movies or television influence people's behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your answer."

I doubt nothing like invention of cinema and TV has changed human life. These new invention has had such impressing effect that no one can imagine the world without them. Nobody can neglect the positive function of TV and cinema in our lives, but unfortunately these media has had negative effects too.

By advent of TV and cinema, new ways of developing education showed up. People could observer such things that they had never seen, and government used this robust new media to educate people. For instance in this way, public hygiene developed, and bad habit vanished gradually. Especially after World War II, role of the woman as a worker in society improved with help of movies and television. This accident prove that this new media can change people life style, and make new social pattern, because people liked to be similar to their popular actors or actresses. In addition, TV and movies destroyed the culture borders between nations, and in this way fortified national peace, because in this way different nations could see each other cultures.

Nevertheless, TV and movies has had bad effect on people. Everyone admit that because of movies and TV people cannot get together with his/her friends, and tend to sit on sofa and press the remote control and watch TV. This means, disruption in our social life, and addiction to virtual life. In this way we are accustomed to be only a spectator, and forget that we are real actor of life. Also, nowadays we are observer of negative effects of violence on our children. This is caused by TV and some movies. Top it off; I believe TV and cinema kill our imagination. We only imitate works that we have seen on TV. Did you notice to decrease of innovative people in different topics, especially in art fields?

Every phenomenon has some positive and negative aspects. I think the only factor that can direct these new inventions is ourselves. We should limit our time to watching TV, and also the governments should supervise producers to make useful and without violence movies. We should not forget that we are master of this new media.

TOEFL listening discussions: What will the student probably do with her next paper?

movies or television influence people's behavior #5 (permalink) Sun Jun 27, 2010 10:22 am   movies or television influence people's behavior
 

Human life was very simple in 1940s. People used to believe in leading simple life they were not concern about fashion, politics, economics, and so on, because their frame of mind was constraint, and they could not see anything else out of their narrow mind. But rapidly progressing technology gave a birth to many machines such as Printing Press, TV, Camera, and Media, and all machines played an effective role in the society. But nothing had bad impact on the world as TV and camera had. Here are few examples.

Of course, invention of TV has many advantages such it carried information to thousand of people across the world, and is great source of entertainment. But it also has negative impact. Many TV shows provide inappropriate knowledge in an attractive way, such as reality shows, containing dangerous stunts. Instead such stunts are taken to use straw man, not taken by hero or individual. The final scene is telecasted after taking lots of actions. Reality is always hidden in camera. But scene looks real in screen when comes in the form of picture that persuades people to imitate it.

Children, young generation do not easily understand these tricks and start following messages that they see in picture or shows. This is not to say that all shows and picture have no importance, nor that all shows are worthwhile. But where TV gives knowledge about all important events that are taking place around us, it also persuades people for taking wrong steps.

Likely, movies teach almost every thing to the viewer from serving nation to stealing others things artistically. There are many movies that give people ideas about blast, rape, make robbery, and so on.
Language used in movies makes effect on our behaviors. People imitate actress or actress whether the message given by them is worthwhile or not. Youngsters follow the fashions and thoughts of their role models.

TV may not have destroyed communication among friends and family but television has done considerable harm. It encourages passive attention to images rather than active conversation and reduces our vocabularies

On the contrary, TV has also improved the life, for example- earlier, women used to keep them at home and followed the rules and regulations of elder but that had made very weak. They had to look after the kids and home and are not allowed to go outside alone; women were considered very weak gender. But TV has changed them by showing encourages programs and now they are working shoulder to shoulder with men and playing effective role in the society.

In short, TV makes much effect on people. Some effects are beneficial while others make the living difficult. Nonetheless it is preferable because life can not imagine without it. It has been an important of our daily life.
