Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Television, newspaper, magazines, and other


media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people such as public figures and
celebrities. Use specific reasons and details to explain your opinion.

Nobody doubts that we live in a world deeply influenced by the communication media. While
before, we were connected with the social reality through the television or the phone, in the last
recent years, it has been appeared more and new kinds of media, such as Facebook, Tweeter,
Instagram, and others have appeared.etc. This change not only means that we have more
opportunities to communicate between us, but also that we expend more of our personal time
watching videos, news, meems {?} and the information posted by our friends or social contacts.
Since we invest a lot of so much time watching or sharing this kind of information in these ways,
I regard the content as the most important focus. important focus in its contents. It should
Should it just entertain us or it should help us for in something better more valuable way? In my
personal view, actual current media pay too much attention for to superficial things like the
entertainment or the show world {?}. I believe this have has to change.
In the first place, many much of the contents dedicated to entertainment or to report about the
celebrities’s lives is prioritized over other contents practical messages about like health,
knowledge {?}or the understanding of the social problems. It means that there are many topics
useful for people that are rejected by media. It happens especially in television, in which the
space for the programs is limited and {what depends?}depends on how much the producers are
willing to pay to appear in on the air. The problem is that most of the producers prefer to offer
entertainment programs in order to win attract a greater more audience and earn more money.
For instance, in my country, Peru, the only channel which shows cultural content is the state’s
channel. The rest of the channels prefer to avoid contents that from their point or view would not
be profitable.
Another reason to be against the disproportionality of the contents being dedicated to the show
world in media is that this situation maintains keeps the indifference of the people's indifference
towards the subjects of public interest. Indeed, there are many social or political problems in our
society that people ignore. If media will would be dedicated to show it these to the public, we
could visualize imagine an informed citizenship informed and who not willing to not tolerate the
abuses of the government or powerful people. However, it is Frequently, however, that social
media is full of contents programming that practically disconnecteds people with reality. Even
worse, is frequent that social media often distorteds the relevant information. For example, in on
Facebook, it is common to find a lot of fake erroneous news. Moreover, sometimes the
information is simplified, satirized or transformed into meems {mimes?}, which does not help
people to be informed or take an form a critical opinion in a critical way.
To sum up, I consider that media in general offers too much entertainment and superficial
contents. Of course, the entertainment is not always bad, but there are many a lot of other matters
that are useful essential and relevant for people and that contribute to build better citizens. That’s
why For the above reasons, I think the priorityizing of entertainment and the evasion of subjects
of public interest in television are issues against obstacles to reaching these important societal
goals. {Good concluding sentence.}
