　　Television is undoubtedly one of the most powerful means of communication in the history of　　humankind, rivaled only by such other forms of communication as the Internet, the telephone,　　movies, and, of course, simple, low-tech speech. Television, with its wide availability and rich　media with image and sound, is difficult to ignore and even seductive in its appeal. Television is as　　much a part of our lives as are our meals, work, or school; studies consistently show that the　average American child spends almost as much time watching television as she does in school.　　Furthermore, because television is so rich in its media, it often requires our full attention or is　　more attraction to us than are our daily lives. Naturally, the more time one spends watching　television, the less time she has with her family and friends. Thus, we can clearly see why some　have claimed that television has been harmful for communication among family and friends.　　However, I believe that, while television has been somewhat harmful in its effects, it has hardly　　"destroyed" communication among family and friends for most people, although for some, this　　may be true.

　　Most people much prefer spending time with their families and friends to spending time watching　　television. Television is of course an important part of many people's lives, but most people would　　gladly choose family and friends over television were they given the choice. Furthermore, most　　educated people are aware of the deleterious effects of too much television and either avoid　excessive time watching television, or actually do not enjoy it. I, for example, after a long day at　　work, would much rather spend time talking with my wife and playing with my children than I　　would watching some unrealistic portrayal of life on television. For me and my family, our time　　together is precious and beautiful, and could never be replaced or hurt by television.

　　Furthermore, the effect of television is simply not so great that it could be said to have　　"destroyed" communication among family and friends. Granting that communication among　family and friends in industrialized countries has decreased in recent years, it might be tempting to　　blame this problem on television since its rise roughly coincided with the decrease in time we　　spend with our families. However, I believe this situation is more likely due to increased pressures　relating from work, school, and the economy. In my case, for example, I find that my pressures　from work are so great that I must often sacrifice time at home so that I can meet the challenges　of running my own business. Many of my friends are in similar situations--my best friend, for　　example, has just finished law school, which took about sixty hours a week of his time. In a word,　　people nowadays have very little time for anything, but television is not the cause--it is increased　　desire to succeed.

　　In some situations, however, television has surely contributed to a decrease in communication　　among family members. In my childhood in the countryside, I often saw parents and children　　watching television for hours on end, rarely speaking with one another. It seemed for them that　　television was a way to escape from their sad, miserable existence. However, even in this case, I　　would say that television merely contributed to the bad situation, but did not cause it; were　television not existent, surely these people would have found other escapes, alcohol or gambling,　　for example. In other words, people always find a way to do what they want to do.　In short, I do not believe that television has destroyed or even harmed interpersonal　　communication among most people. Most people realize that television is merely a temporary　　diversion and do not use it to replace interpersonal communication. I believe that the damage　　attributed to television is greatly exaggerated and that such damage is most likely attributable to　　other more powerful social factors.

　　When asked about what has been brought by television , different people have different answers.　　There is some people who don't like TV saying that television has destroyed communications　　among friends and family. however other people take a negative attitude on this issue. In my　　opinion, I disagree with the above statement . The reasons are given below.

　　Television is only one instrument for people to relax. There is many ways of amusement for　　people to select after the working time nowadays. You can select to meet your friends, to　　accompany your parents or to take part in some sports activities. Watching TV at home is simply　　one way to live. It is too narrowly to regard TV as one main reason to damage relationship among　friends and family just because some people has spent a lot of time on it .

　　Another reason that I disagree with the above statement is that TV can provide some additional　　topics for communication among friends and family. Talking about the news, the soap drama or　　soccer game watching on the TV last night is also good communication ways to increase your　　affections with your friends and your family. Also sometimes, skipping one TV program could　　probably make you lose voices among your friends.　　Last but not least, watching TV is one good medicine to cure the loneliness when your friends and

　　parents can not accompany with you. I would not forget the warm which was brought by TV　　when along tside the hometown.

　　I can't deny that some people has ignored friends and family when they are addicted into watching　　TV. However, everything has it's two sides. All the factors mentioned above determined me to　　draw the conclusion that it is not reasonable to say television has destroyed communications　　among friends and family.

　　Some people believe that television has destroyed communication among friends and family. I　　think this is an exaggeration. In my opinion, whether or not television hurts communication　depends on what type of program is being viewed. More importantly, it depends on the type of　　viewer.

　　There are empty programs and educational programs. Empty programs do not challenge people.　　They have just enough storyline to keep them from switching channels. There are also passive and　active viewers. A passive viewer will just watch television without thinking about what he or she　　is seeing. The combination of an empty program and a passive viewer makes communication　　unlikely. Passive viewers just continue to watch, actually enjoying the fact that they don't have to　　think. They won't break away to talk about programming with friends and family. Even with　　better programming, passive viewers still won't think or communicate much. They'll probably even　　prefer the empty programs because the better programming is too much work.

　　On the other hand, active viewers watching educational programming always want to share what　　they see with friends and family. "Educational" doesn't necessarily mean documentaries on PBS.　　They could be dramas with realistic relationships or action shows with clever plotlines. When　active viewers watch programs, they have ideas and talk about them with others. Good　　programming inspires them to change their thinking and their lives. Unlike passive viewers, they　don't want to watch more and more without thinking.

　　In short, television may destroy communication among passive viewers. Those viewers probably　　don't want to communicate with friends and family much anyway. For active viewers who already　enjoy communicating, television is actually helpful!
