WHEN
TV CONTROLS US
Nowadays television plays a
significant role not only in social and political life acting as a tool for
spreading information and forming people’s mentality, but also in the everyday
life of individuals as a source of entertainment. It affects our minds and
plays a role in shaping social changes. However, It is argued that TV may be
harmful as it shows more sensuality and violence, sacrifices the quality of the
programs for the sake of commercial benefit and take away the biggest part of
our time. On the other hand, it is impossible to imagine the life of modern
society without television, especially keeping in mind the crucial importance
of spreading information to the entire world.
Violence and sensuality shown on
television results a high rate of crimes and encourages (mendukung)
antisocial behaviour especially in USA and other western countries. Many
criminals confessed (mengakui) that
their violent (kekerasan) actions or
attitudes toward women were encouraged from TV. The rate of such a crime is
constantly growing and mostly committed
(dilakukan) by teenagers. This is now a major problem happened in modern
society.
It is obvious that the control from
family, friends, religion and school is decisive
(menentukan) in forming the moral
values of young people. If parents and teachers are fail to carve out their
proper role, then teenagers can be negatively influenced not only from TV, but
also from friends, social environment and other factors.
