#drama #tv #soap #soaps #role #topic
The mode of
entertainment
 was confined to single-screen cinema halls and black and white televisions for the most part of the 20th century, but not anymore. People today have these modes of
entertainment
 in every handheld device and
also
 in almost every room in their homes.
Soap
opera
 is one of the biggest sources of
entertainment
 on these devices and I totally agree that it plays a very important social role.
To begin
 with, I would like to compare the social impact of
soap
 operas with one other major visual source of
entertainment
: movies. The movie industry is a multi-billion dollar industry that attracts millions of people to cinema halls every year. Even though it has a huge audience, the impact they leave on an individual is short-lived. Even the most motivating movie captivates an individual only for a few days.
Soap
Opera
, on the other ,hand lasts with an individual for many years
thus
 is able to leave a long-lasting impact.
For example
, the TV series, FRIENDS aired for 10 years and has been streamed over a billion times.
Soap
opera
also
 provides a great platform for the young generation to explore different cultures and get acquainted with the latest trends around the globe. They
also
 help in moulding the personality of an individual too. People who do not have much exposure to the outside world learn what social behaviour is appropriate and what is cringeworthy. There are many dramas present out there that impose good moral values too.
Although
 there are a lot of things to learn from television dramas, there are a few side-effects too. In order to attract a greater audience, the television industry has incorporated lots of foul content and obscenity too. Due to
this
 practice, parents have to monitor what their children are watching and learning on television. To summarize,
although
 there are a few challenges,
Soap
opera
 not only acts as a mode of
entertainment
 but
also
 as a visual teacher shaping an individual’s social life.
Thus
, I totally agree with the passage.
