Television has had a significant influence on the culture of many societies. To what extent would you say that television has positively or negatively affected the cultural development of your society?
The technology has spread its legs to every nook and corner of the world. There are numbers of channels available on the television which give you essential knowledge as well as put impact on every human’s life. a camp of society thinks that television influences to a culture of communities. according to my point of view, television affects the cultural development of society in both positive and negative way. I will elaborate it in the following paragraphs of this essay.
The first and foremost positive impact of television spreads encourages in numbers of society about cultural events celebration. In other words, nowadays the events which are related to cultures are celebrating as well as presenting in a good way on different levels such as on state level or on broadcast on television through nation channel of a nation. As affected by this activity and they also start their cultural fests on the local level such as in their towns and in villages. This entire activity brings and their traditional culture. To add to it, through television persons can also present information about their own cultures to the other people who perhaps lives in the distinct parts of the globe. By this, all world can know about all cultures and traditions.
On the contrast, television also puts a bad impact on the members of a community. It is inevitable that presentations related to several cultures and customs broadcast on television through different channels, So all human beings watch these acts. Then they just want to become like alien masses and adopt foreign customs, traditional cultural activities and so on. as a result, they forget their own cultural and indulge in another tradition.
To conclude, every coin has two sides. If television spreads information about cultures to increase their development, then it also can become a great cause of a precious culture is death. I believe television ought to present only that events which might be proved fruitful for development of all cultures.

It is said that television has a great power to influence people's mind. To some extent, I do agree with this statement. The main con of television is that it has created the status system in our society. Today, companies are hiring celebrities for promoting their products. Advertising products in a glamorous way will create greed in the hearts of those people who can't afford that expensive product. For example, I have a friend who watches movies a lot. He was very much fascinated with the lifestyle which is nowadays showing on television. He does not have enough money to live that lifestyle so he starts practising illegal ways of achieving that lifestyle. He started the robbery. Today, people are frustrated and depressed for not being able to spend a luxurious life. Everyone is working hard to earn a lot of money for which they have to sacrifice their social and personal life. On the other hand, if we look at the positive aspect of this issue, we can observe that television is also a source of information. By watching informative channels, one can enhance his knowledge. One can improve his language by watching a particular language channel. For example, My friend has improved his listening skills of English by watching English movies and dramas. Moreover, I have a friend who is very much fond of taking dowry. He stated that he will marry a girl only who will give him a lot of dowries but by watching different shows which teaches him that taking dowry is one of the most horrible things one can do, he started neglecting the idea to take dowry. All in all, everything has its own advantages and disadvantages. It totally depends on a person to what to learn from something. On the one hand, television is a source of knowledge for those people who want to learn something in their life and on the other hand television is the most horrible thing for those who want to remain uneducated for their entire life.

Television has been a ubiquitous presence in societies around the world for several decades now. It has played a significant role in shaping the culture of various societies, including mine. In this essay, I will explore the positive and negative impacts of television on the cultural development of society.
On the positive side, television has allowed for the dissemination of information and knowledge on a wide range of topics. News broadcasts, documentaries, and educational programs have contributed to the spread of awareness and understanding of various issues. Furthermore, television has provided a platform for diverse voices and perspectives to be heard, fostering a sense of inclusivity and diversity in society.
However, there are also several negative impacts of television on cultural development. One of the most concerning issues is the rise of sensationalist and superficial content that has become prevalent on many channels. This has led to the promotion of celebrity culture and materialism, leading to a decline in values and traditions that were once an integral part of my society's culture. Moreover, excessive exposure to violence and sex on television has had a detrimental effect on the moral fabric of society, particularly among young people.
In conclusion, while television has undoubtedly had a significant influence on the culture of my society, it is a double-edged sword. While it has provided a platform for information, diversity, and inclusivity, it has also contributed to the erosion of values and traditions. Therefore, it is crucial to regulate the content of television and promote programs that contribute positively to the cultural development of society.

It has been many years since television was first introduced to people and people today still have mixed views on whether it has a positive or a negative influence on the society.
Many people believe that television damages culture. It promotes the stronger cultures of countries such as Britain and North America and weakens the cultures of less wealthy countries. This is because the stronger, wealthier countries are able to assert their own culture by producing more programs that are shown widely around the world. These programs then influence people, particularly young people, in the countries where they are shown. Also, because television networks need to attract large audiences to secure their financial survival, they must produce programs which are interesting to a broad range of people. In many countries, this range is very broad because we are a multicultural society and people of all ages like to watch television. To interest all these different people, most television programs are short in length, full of action and excitement, do not require much intelligence or knowledge to understand, and follow universal themes common to all cultures, such as love and crime. Television programs which concentrate on or develop themes pertinent to one particular culture are not so successful because they interest a smaller audience. Nevertheless, we much acknowledge that television does have some positive effects on the cultures within a society as well. People who do not live within their own culture can, in a limited way, access it through the multicultural station on the television. For example, Aboriginal children who have grown up in white families, or migrants and international students living in a foreign country, can watch programs from their own culture on the television. In conclusion, I hold the view that television promotes and strengthens those cultures that are wealthy and influential while it weakens the cultures that are already in a weakened position.
