Television destroys more than educated how do you agree?

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Actually, It is really true that television has become a basic tool to damage family’s communication and time in society. In addition, while television is extremely useful for leisure time, I do agree with the idea that they already damaged ways of connection between people. To conclude, television has been invented so people can find something to do or watch better than sitting alone, alternatively, television just give people distance from their society, friends and relatives. Television breaks up and separate a part family, however, one of the main goals for television invention is to build up stronger relationships between people not only in one country but also all over the world and to exchange cultures.

Detective Stirland loomed large before her. He flipped open his ID badge.

"Where’s Joe, Mandy?"

"What’s this about?" she stammered.

Stirland applied his weight to the door and the woman stepped backwards as it swung open.

"I’ll ask the questions. We know he’s here."

Her eyes flitted from his face to the lounge door and back.

"Joe!"

She folded her arms defiantly, reluctantly.

"Joe, you’d better come out. The police are here."
