Television plays a large and influential role in spreading modern culture. It is no doubt that TV regulates commerce, lifestyle, and social values. There are more television programs than ever before, and television covers various topics in our lives. “It has become the country’s foremost source of entertainment and news” (218 Goshgarian). News programs offer us economical, social, and cultural issues that we face in reality. In addition, drama and sports programs become the important source of entertainment. Television has put down roots and become a significant part of our lives. Thus, we might have believed that TV is our voice and that it’s always on our side. This might be true in regards to TV’s positive influences on us, such as to inform and to entertain, but we should also realize that television can be our biggest enemy. “Television could be blamed for nearly all of our social ills – the rise in crime, increased divorce rates, lower voter turnouts, racism, falling SAT scores, increased sexual promiscuity, drug addiction, and the collapse of the family” (218 Goshgarian). As Goshgarian says, we are faced with various problems and TV has been cited as the object of considerable scorn. Out of those problems, media violence and television addiction are becoming controversial issue toward our life.
