television can be informative and educational? Television has been playing an indispensable role in people's daily life. While some believe that it can make us informative and serves as an educational tool as well, I argued that it is not so much something that gives us information, as a thing that we can reliant on to get entertained. On the one hand, television programs, which may be broadcast 24 hours a day without any breaks, contain a great amount of news and documentaries that considered to be education-oriented. People, especially those who do not have access to the internet, can get to know what is happening across the world, and acquire knowledge in special aspects, such as history and culture in particular places. Meanwhile, to attract as wide as an audience for commercial reasons, program editors, most of who are well educated, are able and willing to provide as wide as a range of first-hand news and educational materials by hard working. On the other hand, many argue that even though it is proper to be used as a entertainment tool, it is unreasonable to be considered as a place that gives your information and educational stuff. This reason for this is quite simple. Compared to the internet, television is less reliable because it is one-way flow of information with no debate or comments, and if the reality reported has been distorted, the information from television can be very deceitful. A good case in point is China, where the communist regime has been using TV programs as a propagandistic tool. When I wanted to take a look at up-to-date news, I would not go for turning on my television. Nevertheless, I will turn to it if I need to get my family entertained. Personally, I only view watching TV as a way to relax.
