Some say that news has no connection with most people’s lives and it is a waste of time for most of us to read newspapers and watch television news programs. Do you agree or disagree?
A number of people claim, that
news
has nothing to do with their lives and time
shouldn't be wasted on these programs. I partly agree with this
view.
Firstly
, the news
doesn't have a great impact on human lives. We should not spend a considerable amount of time
of our life checking the news
, they have very little influence on us. Most news
is not directly related to us, for example
, world politics, national exports and much criminal news
as well, these things happen so regularly that we will just check them and forget it the day after. As a result
, it will be a serious loss of time
, possibly money to watch something that is
not worth discussing. Furthermore
, news
programs, including television will shape your opinion gradually, as you listen to them consistently, therefore
, we need to actively avoid news
sources.
However
, having said that, the news
is not a complete waste of time
. There are multiple extra-scientific, educational articles, influential stories or just some literature pieces that we can read or watch, therefore
improving our knowledge and wisdom. Additionally
, local news
may help us keep up to date what is the current status of the place, which can have an impact on us. For instance
, we know about rising theft rates around our town through the news
and we can prepare for it.
In conclusion, while news
has little to no connection to us and may affect us negatively, it may also
help us under specific circumstances.Submitted by iqunder20 on
