Lesson 25

Lesson 25

1. Warming up activities

I think that this is a great achievement of humanity. With the help of television, even the poor or sick people, the disabled have the opportunity to see the world, get acquainted with the customs of different peoples. See and hear the best works of opera, ballet and pop art performed by stars who are no longer with us . As an example, you can think of the Beatles, which is loved and known not only by connoisseurs of the classics. You can see masterpieces of painting from different museums around the world. On the other hand, TV is a powerful weapon in the sphere of manipulating people's opinions to achieve various goals, which are not always humane and fair. It is also a very powerful tool for aggressive advertising implementation. TV is also extremely dangerous from the point of view of educating a new generation, which has only a vague idea of values, ideals, and responsibility. Which is enough to read a wonderful classic, with pleasure watching the same in a shortened version, and even in the interpretation of not such talented creators who stood at the origins. I think that the question of the importance of TV is far from clear.

6.)Extention activities

The mass media has become an integral part of modern life. Like any phenomenon, they have both positive and negative effects on people. The positive ones include the ability to meet the needs for obtaining the necessary information, cultural and moral development, the ability to influence public figures, the development of freedom of speech, the ability of each person to express their civic position, and others.

Negative impacts include a decrease in a person's critical attitude to events transmitted in the media, a decrease in their activity and awareness. Also, the negative properties of the media include the ability to form a certain point of view or manipulate the opinions of information consumers.
