Television is dangerous because it destroys family life and any sense of community; Instead of visiting people or taking with our family we just watch television.

It is true that television becomes modern media which is needed by many people in the world. While I accept it gives a lot of benefits for society, I believe television gives more disadvantages for human life.

Nowadays, television is very important because it makes people happy and relaxed. Many citizens need it for refreshing because sometimes they get stress after working in their company. Some people argue that television gives many advantages. It provides many kinds of information which are needed by all people in this earth, such as economic, business, sport, education, politic, and international relationship. Some television companies create entertainment programs to entertain society. Besides, television programs can be used for commercial purpose for some people because it gives opportunity to earn a lot of money, for example: becoming actor, actress, and singer who can be popular in the world.

On the other hand, I think television gives more drawbacks because of some reasons. Troday, many television channels show the program which gives negative things to people, especially children. They cannot filter what program which is good for pupils or adults because some of them only focus in commercial aim, and they want to get the highest profit every year. Pornography also sometimes appears on television and it is not good for development of children. As a result, content of television becomes media which is opposite to education goals because it prefers to serve kinds of reality show, gossip, or drama movie. Besides, television makes people losing any sense of community because they spend more time to watch it then creating communication with friends or family.

In conclusion, there are some reasons both for and against television, but I still believe it is a dangerous media because it can destroy human life.
