答案
The influence of movies and television on people’s behavior The impact that movies and television have had on our daily lives, and society in general, is undeniable. No doubt it will become even greater as their scope continues to grow, and as the relevant technologies become more and more sophisticated, and so fascinating that virtually nobody will be able to escape. Already, it can be seen how Western movies are wielding influence on our young generation: they grow long-hair regardless of their gender, commonly part of which is dyed in gold; they wear jeans in each and every season, usually the knees of which are deliberately tattered; boys are fond of earrings or other odd pendants; and girls are keen on Marlboros and weird bad words. The major means that movies and television influence the public is by creating topics of discussion in society. Movies offer people (the consumers) issues to talk and think about. Titanic had brought a worldwide uproar by its extolling of fascinating immortal love; Primary Colors and Wag the Dog met the national debate on rights and duties of the president of the United States. Antiwar movies such as Tears of the Sun and All Quiet on the Western Front among numerous others have been raising the question: is any war really to uphold justice or is it really worthy that an individual makes sacrifices to his country and at the same time ignores his own family or his personal values? Television also shapes our understanding of what is important and what is not important (to know). The "important" issues are being discussed over and over or in the beginning of a program. The "not important" stories are the ones that are not being told at all. The "not very important" stories are probably very short and hidden in the last part. By prearranging public issues, movies and television make decisions for us. Even though there are critical thinking individuals in any society, they are definitely in the minority; the public in whole indeed lacks skills of critical thinking, and therefore they are often led by the movies and television. In brief, movies and television, by offering topics and affecting the ways in which we discuss "the important issues", have a strong influence on our perception of truth, of the world or of the structure of our society. We have to admit that they play a role in our lives as a source of information, experiences, entertainment, amusement and relaxation.
