Previous Version
When considering influence of television, there are various opinions because values among the people are diversified in affluent societies of recent years. Whereas some people believe that television has destroyed communication among friends and family, others do not. I am personally in agreement with the latter opinion, for television actually promotes communication. My answer is based on the following two respects.
Firstly, television make a family bond firm. Without television, people will possibly lose opportunities to communicate with their family. As an illustration, most families have a meal together with watching TV. Watching a baseball game together, for example, they can talk each other about the game. By sharing time to be pleased and mortified, family conversation will be smooth. Furthermore, news programs provides various accidents or crimes every day, and parents can educate and teach their children; for example, they can teach that when an earthquake happens, they should hide under the table, or when a strange man speak to them, they should not go with him. In this way, a family bond becomes firm.
Secondly, television makes a conversation among friends smooth. For example, you can talk about popular celebrities such as comedians, idols, musicians, actors, and so on. Also, if you watch the same TV program such as animation, drama and variety as a friend of yours watches, you can talk about it, and can exchange opinions. Furthermore, because you can passively obtain information through television, you do not need to pursue information voluntarily. Then, you can have an amount of topics, and will not be worried about topics to talk. Thus, you can always have a conversation about the topic as long as you continue to watch TV.
In conclusion, as noted above, television promotes communication both inside a family and among friends. To be sure, some TV programs might be vulgar and harmful, but television has already been an essential tool to communicate.
