Television has had a significant influence on
the culture of many societies. To what extent do you think
television has positive or negatively affected cultural
development?
Nowadays, many people get used to regarding watching TV every night as one of their best leisure activities. Due to this common phenomenon, TV are affecting people’s minds gradually so that it would strongly influence cultural development in positive and negative aspects.
To begin with, the positive effect that TV brought to us is in three fields. First, through TV, one’s sight was expanded largely. Hence, one can access different cultures and try to know it. This behavior can promote people to understand each other mutually, which can effectively avoiding unnecessary cultural conflicts between people whose cultural backgrounds are different. Second, one can learn more local cultural things such as history story, ancient custom etc. For example, in China, there are a famous program named “LECTURE” telling the audiences history of China. Third, TV passes the newest cultural phenomena to the public, which could promote to create popular culture in our society. For instance, everyone know the most popular words or sentences in social life due to watching TV series.
On the other hand, the negative effect exist, too. The worst is cultural invasion that is damaging to local culture. It is especially true among young people who are so fascinated by foreign culture, which could have local culture lose successors. Another one is that the plot is too violent and unhealthy in some TV program. This could be so harmful for youngsters that crime rate among youngsters are rising dramatically all over the word. If the two trends can not be curbed, the public will lose the most specious thing--- diversified culture not mention to develop it.
From my perspective, TV is a channel, so the context are more important. Hence, if we hope TV promote the development of our culture, we should produce more positive programs and limit foreign TV series moderately to protect local culture.
