Has TV distroyed communication among friends and family?
I do strongly oppose the idea that television has destroyed
communication among friends and family. This I support with the
following reasons.
My first point is the fact that Television supplies topics of
conversation. Let us take the example of “Big Brother”. Nearly
everybody was affected of this TV Event. Media reported all the
time and, in this connection more important, people talked
incessant about it. Big Brother connected several people, even
those who normally do not talk together, and communication was
encouraged.
Further more it should considered important that people meet to
watch Television. Family or even friends plan time to watch
Movies or Quiz Shows together. Afterwards they discuss the
topics and communication takes place. Aside from the aspect that
they probably also communicate while they are watching.
Talk shows are another Example that demonstrates that Television
encourages communication. In Germany a variety of talk shows
exist, where communication is held about different topics. These
Shows offer the opportunity for everybody to take their own
view in public.
Last but not least I would like to grant one exception that should be
named: People who generally tend to isolate themselves from other
people, run the risk to increase their isolation. Especially
continuous programs like daily soaps could be addictive. On the
whole I am convinced that Television encourages communication.
