Jennifer Oh - reflection

Reflection

Among all the mass media, TV has influenced me the most. The reason I chose TV is because I have spent the most time with TV than any other types of media. I still watch TV at least an hour everyday. When I was little, I watched TV programs for children and learned English and Korean. Those programs had many great activities that children can learn languages by playing games. Also, some other TV programs taught me variety of knowledge from many different fields such as science, art, and fashion. Moreover, on these days, TV news gives me useful information and latest news in the world, and it teaches me how the world is going around. Lastly, TV commercials show trends in nowadays, and it helps me to make my decision on buying things.
Different kinds of TV programs have the most impact on my life. TV makes me to keep in touch with the world. It also makes easier for me to gain knowledge in different areas than any other types of mass media. For example, knowledge about science field, I don’t read any books and articles about science because it’s boring, but TV broadcasts these information in interesting ways that people can easily understand. In addition, TV leads my family to sit together and talk. My family is always busy on doing their own things including myself, so we don’t have much time to talk to each other. The only time for us to talk is whenever we are watching news. We sit together on the couch and talk about the day. Because of these reasons, TV influenced me the most and affected the most on my life.
