Task 2: Some people think news has no connection to people’s lives. So then it is a waste of time to read the newspaper and watch television news programs. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is a waste of time to watch television
news
and read newspapers. Because some
people
believe that
news
has no
connection
with
people
's
lives
.
Therefore
, I do agree with
this
statement in
this
material I will explain why
news
is not connected with individuals
lives
.
Firstly
, indeed
news
has no
connection
with
people
's
lives
anymore because the channels that manage these notices have collusion with the government and even with the mafia. To illustrate, in Brazil we have a
tv
channel that had a great influence on
society
for decades. Where they brought their announcement tailored based on what authorities wanted for them to tell. Today, with the internet the Brazilian
society
is no longer believing that
this
tv
channel with its
news
has any
connection
with their
lives
. Alternatively, personally, if
this
approach were different,
society
would trust their notice not thinking they were losing their time with fake bulletins.
In addition
, the majority of the
people
who still watch television bulletin programs or even read the latest notices argues that there have more bad notices than a good announcement.
For example
, it is clear that good
news
does not get the attention of individuals but bad prest release does, even if they need to show on their
tv
programs war and death.
Conversely
, in my opinion, if
tv
and newspapers announced more frequently bulletins with a contrast of good information and bad information it would have a better relevance to
society
. In conclusion, despite some
people
thinking the
news
has no
connection
with their
lives
even believing it is a waste of time
news
will never change their programs since it is the way they survive. In my opinion, with the implementation of the internet and smartphones with announcements coming without filters from different sources the contrast of the reality is increasing giving a better reality to the
people
.
