Golden No.32 media and friends Some believe that TV, newspaper and radio have more influence on individuals than their relatives and friends, while others believe not. Which statement do you prefer? Please give your opinion with specific examples and details. I prefer the opinion that their relatives and friends have more influence on individuals. When I was a graduate student, I met a best friend, Akinori who is hard worker. I had to write my paper at the second year of the graduate studies, but I did not know how to proceed with the work, on the other hand, he always made efforts for his research and eventually won for contribution to physics. At the same time, I realized the importance of effort which is difficult to learn about from media such as TV, newspaper, and radio. That's why I believe friends and relatives have more influence on individuals than some medias.
