Television today

Daily TV shows us what we have to think or do. The TV doesn’t allow us to generate our own opinion about what is happening in the world and it doesn’t allow us to know about what is happening in our country.

The television doesn’t allow the development of reading like a habit among Chilean young people, because what TV shows is could be more entertaining than the things a book shows.

My dad always told me that TV was bad for me and my siblings, because it doesn’t allow starting a conversation at lunch time.  This situation has affected many families who don’t realize the problem that brings us: a poor communication at home.

Television is unnecessary in my life. I think I can find other means that allow me to create my own opinion about news.

Finally, I think that TV has been a great contribution for the Chilean society in technology, modernity and mass media, but the TV doesn`t allow us to generate our own opinion about what is happening around us.
