Television is a way of broadening one's horizon through mass media. It informs us of the happenings in other parts of the world. We also get to know about the culture of different countries. It improves our skills by watching discovery programs.

After a hard day, it brings us minutes of relaxation. We can also watch the Olympic games live instead of having to queue up for tickets at a crowded event. Exclusive movies influence our lives positively by famous personalities. Nature that we see in discovery programmes help to appreciate the giftsoffered by Mother Nature.

The negative sides of the television are movies based on violence which have a great impact on youngsters. They have the tendency to imitate those violence scenes which leads to rape, theft and even murder. It often becomes a menace to culture and this leaves a gap between the old and young generation.
