Each American pursues their own taste and style. Television is where we visually see the different varieties of style. Whether someone wants to watch a horror film or \u201cEntertainment Tonight\u201d is his or her choice. Through one\u2019s perception, television may be observed as a positive influence. Television may posses a positive influence in a matter of enhancing our personal status. Our personal appearance is one of the most important traits. Judging an individual by their appearance can tell a lot about a person\u2019s character. When we watch television, we notice that every person\u2019s appearance is perfect. For some of us, we pay attention to the big movie stars. The first words that come to mind when I think of movie stars are \u201cfamous and beautiful.\u201d The clothes are always expensive looking and very classy. Their face always has perfect skin complexion with no acme whatsoever. They each have their own unique hairstyle that someday we dream of having. We admire these movie stars so much that we try to look like them, dress like them, and even talk like them. I remember watching \u201cConan the Barbarian\u201d when I was younger. Arnold Schwartzenegger had a body like a tank.<\/p>\n
His appearance was one of no other, pure barbaric. I wanted to be just like Arnold, having the same physical physique. Arnold\u2019s presence provided me with so much motivation that I joined a gym near my house and started training instantly. To this day, I am still training due to the appearance of Arnold Schwartzenegger. Advertisements may have a positive effect on our personal status as well. Observing all the expensive cars and real estate ads advertised on television might get you thinking twice about saving your money. Ever been to Hawaii? Well watch a commercial for a trip to Hawaii and you are destined to go there. Advertisements get your mind thinking positive and help us budget our money. The fact is we look up to people on television and their possessions. We want what they want. Television provides us with modeled images we dream of resembling someday. Stories from movies and shows on television alone have a positive effect on our actions and behavior.<\/p>\n
Writers have created imaginative stories where we can escape into the writer\u2019s own constructed world. A perfect example is the movie \u201cRudy.\u201d The movie is based on a typical teenager who, since a child, had always wanted to play football for Notre Dame. His friends and family told him that he was too stupid and that he couldn\u2019t even get into college, let alone play football. Rudy took all the negative energy and used it to work even harder. To make it short and sweet, Rudy ended up inviting his friends and family to his first appearance in a Notre Dame football game. After watching the movie, a feeling of pride overwhelmed my soul. Knowing that this movie was based on a true story almost left me in tears. From a personal standpoint, the story line in the movie \u201cRudy\u201d captured a lot of what growing up was like for me. I had a lot of people around telling me that I couldn\u2019t make it, just like in Rudy\u2019s case. I felt myself falling into the shoes of the character, sharing the same traits.<\/p>\n
Many stories that are told on television can be related to real situations we come across daily. Another example is the sitcom \u201cSeinfeld.\u201d The sitcom is about nothing and it\u2019s hilarious. It\u2019s watching your average person and his friends doing nothing. Well no. The show contains your everyday problems like your friends bugging you, or waiting a half-hour to get a table at a Chinese restaurant. We are entertained by watching others deal with the same situations we come across. It makes us laugh when the Soup Nazi says, \u201cNo soup for you,\u201d or Kramer comes stumbling into Jerry\u2019s apartment acting like a klutz. Television provides us with stories that have a positive impact on our daily life. Children programs on television portray a positive attitude and expand a child\u2019s horizons. The benefit of television for children is endless. From advertisements to cartoons, a child\u2019s imagination can run wild. Children love to see different advertisements ranging from GI-Joe figures to fast cars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
