The fourth place at the top of the most influential powers in a state is occupied by media and by everything connected with media.By media we refer to the TV,radio,magazines and newspapers.Among these the TV is by far the thing that occupies most of our time and brings in the largest amount of money.
People pay to have the common friend which occupies all their spare time.And what is the easiest method of manipulating(操控) people if not the TV?When people start watching a TV play that they like they become addicted to it.And no matter what activity they are doing they interrupt it for the sake of the film or the TV show.
Lately among the programs with the greatest success we mention the reality shows of all kinds.TV stations make money by taking advantage of people’s live.For me all these reality TV shows are a waste of time.And they invade the privacy of people who are eager to gain some money or to be popular.I don’t say that there are not sometimes funny moments or that people taking part in the shows don’t have fun,but there are also many unpleasant moments when they fell lonely,sad or ashamed.We all remember what used to happen in the house of Big Brother or about all the fights,the make-ups and break-ups.There were moments when they couldn’t stand the pressure any more and released(释放)their feelings.
My opinion is that people who decide to take part in these shows should be prouder and should clearly state their points of view from the very beginning of the show.Thus; there won’t be disappointments or sad moments which could affect their lives in the future.
