During last two centuries, televison became an inseparable part of our society, which provides broad choice of entertainment forms constituted of series, documentaries and news. With a such significant unfluence, many people began to argue about how its crucial for public manipulating and misinformation, while the others believe in outweighing benefits, including education and information. This essay examine both arguments, and with a relevant information try to describe why simple answer cannot be found.
First and foremost, since first introduction, TV has taken a strong position in dissemination information, in fact, creating a pop culture phenomenal itself. Thus, television established as a powerful tool for influence on large amount of people. For inctance, its difficult to indenie helpfulness of a children educational programs, which allow children obtain versatile knowledges. Furthermore, its impossible to count how many times TV awares about deseases or the most important information.
However, this source of power also has the other side. In almost any significant political or historical event, observrable how television use as an instrument to lobbying someone’s interests. During this process, people cannot get a various positions about anything, and becoming easy to manipulate. For example, in Russia, there is still no unsensored opinion about war or foreign affairs.
In my opinion precise and univocal solution of this situation do not exist. As long as televosion remains just a tool, we need to watch how exactly we use it, providing free envieroment for news and information.
