Some people say that all popular TV entertainment programmes should aim to
educate viewers about important social issues. To what extent do you agree or
disagree with this statement?
In the modern era, television is considered as a must-have device in every household. Some
people argue that popular TV programs broadcasting to audiences should raise awareness of
urgently social problems. I totally agree with this opinion.
First of all, nationwide programmes are the best method to communicate with the viewers. In
other words, citizens should know about important information, which is includes in news and
daily reports when they are watching. As a result, everyone can update current situations, and
find solutions to address them appropriately. For instance, when big storm hit Vietnam in 2008,
some warnings about floods were be transferred to people thanks to weather forecasting, so
they could be ready and prepared and reduced the damage of this upcoming events. Therefore,
television makes it easy for audiences to gather emergency news with the up-to-date content.
Secondly, entertainment game shows seem to be appealing all ages and genders. If the
broadcasters focus on teaching people about social concerns in the community, they will help
people become more conscious of global problems such as rising crime rates and poaching
endangered species. Discovery channel, for example, announces that there are thousands of
rhinos and elephants killed by illegal hunters each year with the aim of trading purposes,
leading to the extinction of many animals on earth. Hence, this news then will be delivered to
all viewers and encouraged them to protect our world.
To conclude, it is necessary to make well-known television shows because they can used as
effective tools for alerting people to happening situation. The more people continue watching
TV, the more social problems can be addressed.
