Television

Television is primarilly used to advertize to Americans. There are commercials on even during the main programs. People will open their Mac computers, or meet in McDonnalds or smoke a certain brand of ciggaretts because those companies pay them to do this. Often times, companies will tell the producer of a program to make a television episode revolving around their product. Watching television is a good way to wind down at the end of the day and relax before you go to sleep, but too many people spend hours and hours watching television. People feel connected to their TV and turn to it when they are board instead of doing something productive. It almost encourages people to be lazy.

My favorite television shows are Dexter and Family Guy but i cannot stand most reality shows. I just don't see why so many people like seeing others yelling and getting dramatic over trivial things. I was watching one show and these women were cursing at each other and pulling hair because one woman used another person's makeup. I just sat on the couch thinking are these people so immature they cannot share a little makeup without yelling and crying like little four year olds?

I think Television is a great source of entertainment but that too many people watch it. I see no problem in having friends over and watching television as long as you are able to stop and do other things. Advertizing on television is important because it is a way for companies to get their product's name out there. Watching television for hours every day doesn't make someone a bad person, i just think they should be able to put the remote down and do more productive things in their spare time.
