The news media have become much more influential in people’s lives. Some people think it’s a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2016-01-23)
选项
答案
In the 21st century we have news available 24 hours a day, every day, and it comes from all over the world. Television newsreels, the Internet and newspapers all try to keep us informed and entertained. The world seems to get smaller as we hear of distant catastrophes, wars and serious illnesses as well as success stories of heroic feats, fantastic sporting achievements and scientific breakthroughs.
The extent of influence on people’s lives is debateable.
People hear of disasters and sometimes give money to help. Some people, especially those who are medically trained, respond by joining organisations, such as Medecins Sans Frontiers (Doctors without Borders) and the Red Cross, and going to help. Fire and rescue personnel are often seen helping in disaster areas too.
Much of what passes for news is bad — wars, shootings, natural disasters, although some programmes try to include celebration stories. Constant bad news can make people despondent, especially constant stories of atrocities and natural disasters.
On the other hand, most people read or hear about events and think ’Oh dear’ and carry on with their lives regardless, so it does not really affect them that much.
The most important thing is that appliances have an ’off switch, and one has to pick up a newspaper to read it, so we have a choice. News programmes are there, all day, every day, and most of the information goes over our heads; we have learned to ignore it. Therefore, although it could be a negative experience for a few sensitive souls, generally it is not, and people are better informed as a result.
