Professor
Over the next few weeks, we are going to look at lots of different materials about the role of television programs and television watching in people’s lives. But first, I want to know what you think about this topic. So here’s a question for the class discussion board: What do you think is the most significant effect that watching television has on people? Why do you think television has this effect?
Kelly
I know that one way that television influences people’s behavior is that when you are watching television, you are not moving around or exercising. This is especially true for children. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that when children spend a lot of time watching television, they have a greater tendency to be overweight.
Paul
I think the main effect that television has on people is to broaden their experience. There are so many programs devoted to nature and travel. Think of all the different places in the world you can experience through television! Last night I watched a program about life in Antarctica, and it was fascinating!

In my opinion, I concur with Pail’s point that televisions can broaden people’s horizon and give people an opportunity to learn the thing far from us, such as other counties’ culture. As we all know, human have created a lot of documentories, movies and TV series about interesting knowledge, which can help us feel different aspects of the world. For example, when I was in middle school, I watched South Park, a sarcastic animated series. In this series, I knew political correctness which is popular recent years by a character, the PC principal, who always critisizes people who discriminate againt these fringe groups. He helped me understand this abstract political defination which my peers did not know. In addition, this TV show helped me to understand the differences between China and the US, which could help me adapt my future life and study in America.

Section Title: 6 Article Revision
In my opinion, I agree with Paul's assertion that television has the potential to expand our horizons and provide us with opportunities to learn about distant cultures and experiences. As we are well aware, numerous documentaries, films, and TV series have been created to impart fascinating knowledge and insights into various aspects of the world. For instance, during my middle school years, I watched South Park, a satirical animated series that introduced me to the concept of political correctness through a character known as PC Principal. This character consistently criticized those who discriminated against marginalized groups, thereby helping me grasp this abstract political notion that my peers were unfamiliar with. Furthermore, this TV show facilitated my understanding of the cultural differences between China and the United States, ultimately preparing me for my future life and studies in America. (143 words)
