“Television is in no way a true mirror of society” To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Introduction

Undoubtly television plays pivotal role in the socialization of the 20th and 21st centuries. It has become a worldwide phenomenon that participates tо a great extent in the day to day life of human beings. Television has been even referred as to the “The fourth power” in a country ruling apparatus which suggests further critical assumptions. Here comes the question if television is actually an objective projection of human societies. And is it true that television pays rather more attention to “product selling” and persuasion instead of revealing the genuine world community? American television for instance gives viewers a wide range of entertainment choices as news, reality shows, political, social, religion channels, however it is still entitled as a manipulative and speculative manner of informing people. The problem is that sometimes what we hear or see on television is not always accurate or correct. Sometimes news stories give us the wrong information and we believe that it is true because it is being said on television. They may give you a story, but they may leave out some details to prove their point or to make the story more interesting. In this flow of thoughts, this essay will consider how television advertising influences its audience and to what degree the information is factual. It will also evaluate the main differences between real social life and media space in a statistical perspective.
