F. TV’s Power 51._____________ Television has probably been the most powerful medium in shaping the community. The electronic community gives us our mutual friends, our significant events and our daily chats. The “produced” relationships of television families become our models f  or intimacy. We know media stars better than we know our neighbors. Most of us can discuss their lives better than we can discuss those of our relatives. We think a man who plays a doctor on TV actually knows something about medicine.52.________________ People spend most of their time watching TV in their spare time. People spend more time watching videos but less time making music with each other. People in small towns now watch international cable net  works instead of driving to their neighbor’s house for cards. Women watch soaps instead of attending church or book clubs. When company comes, kids are sent to the TV room with videos.53____________________ Parents are not the main influence in the lives of their children. Some of the first voices children hear are from the TV, and the first street they know is Sesame Street. A child playing Nintendo is learning different lessons than a child playing along a creek or  playing dominoes with his grandfather.54.________________ The time devoted to violence on TV in no way reflects its importance in real life. In real life, most of us exercise ,work, visit our friends, read ,cook, eat and shop. Few of us spend any significant amount of our time solving murders or fleeing psychotic killers. On television there are many more detectives and murderers than in the real world .A rule of thumb about violence is “If it bleeds, it leads.” Violence attract viewers” attention. Our programs have become increasing violent. 55_________________ Different people have different opinions. Some might say that there is nothing new under the sun. Of course, in a narrow sense, they are correct. There have always been murderers, and stories about violence have been the theme of literature and songs. However, things are different now. Children are exposed to hundreds of examples of violence every day. The frequence and intensity of these images is unprecedented in the history of humanity. We have clear records that this exposure makes it more likely that children will be violent and increases their fear levels about potential violence. |
