Question

Which statement BEST describes an effect television has had on society? A) Fewer wars have been fought because countries communicate better. B) People across the country are more likely to share a common culture. C) Viewers have fewer choices for entertainment than they had before television. D) People tend communicate better with family members since television was invented.

Answer 1

B) People across the country are more likely to share a common culture.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B.

There is a progressive homogeneization in modern societies because mass media, such as the television, expose people constantly to the same contents, which picture the world from a certain viewpoint and omit many other realities which are probably not very profitable to show, but which can be equally important. People who are not wise enough to feel the need to use alternative media, would not be properly informed as they will only consume the same type of information all the time.
