Hello. You forgot to enter the necessary views to answer this question. The views are:
Viewpoint One: Even though Americans claim to be busier than ever, their television watching hours have increased exponentially over the past decade. Some would see this trend as evidence for the increasing illiteracy and ignorance in American society, but I don't see the rise of television viewing as a negative. Instead, watching television has opened up the entire world to every person's living room. The television is actually democracy in action by allowing the same information available to every viewer.
Viewpoint Two: Some say that we are living in the era of Golden television with new prestige series premiering every week. Regardless of this over-enthusiasm, though, the rise of television is not an unqualified good event. People are getting less involved in civic and charity events because they are rushing home to binge shows. Even worse, some of these shows present tasteless stories that continually degrade the discourse of the nation's popular culture. The next time you hear someone raving about her favorite show, ask yourself a few questions before joining into the fanfest.
Answer:
D)Viewpoint One believes that television can be a positive force for good, while Viewpoint Two sees television as a force of degradation in American society.
Explanation:
The first point of view shows that television can be something harmful, but it has positive points that should not be ignored, because TV is a very democratic instrument, which allows people to have access to countless information and entertainment within their houses, sitting on their sofas.
The second point of view, on the other hand, states that all this entertainment that television promotes is very harmful, because people end up not participating in civic events to watch their shows. In addition, these shows often have bad taste content that violates cultural values.
In summary, we can say that point one believes that television can be a positive force for good, while point two sees television as a degrading force in American society.
