    IMPECT OF TELEVISION ON OUR SOCIAL


    LIVES
    Television has a big impact on the way we spend our free
    time. It probably affects younger people more than
    adults, as they watch more TV.  Critics of
    television claim that TV takes away too much of our free
    time so that we lack time for other activities like family
    conversations, reading, getting exercise etc..
    It also shows us a world that is not real.  Television
    often encourages us to think that the world is more violent
    than it really is. Through TV
    we perceive the glamorous life of people and believe that
    they are better off than we are.
    Television contributes to our education and knowledge.
    Documentaries and information programs give
    us insight on nature, our environment and political
    events.
    Television has a huge impact on politics. In election
    years, discussions, speeches and campaign news of
    candidates are broadcast almost every day. Political
    parties buy TV time to present their views and bring ideas
    to the audience.

    Sports attract the biggest audiences on television.  TV


    stations pay enormous amounts of money to broadcast
    big sport events, like the Super Bowl, Olympic Games, or
    professional basketball, football and baseball. Because of
    television some sports have gained popularity and more
    and more people engage in them.
