Book Reports / An essay about Neil Postman's book "Amusing ourselves to death" [2]
This is my Intro/Thesis, please help me out. We're supposed to pick a topic from the book to write about, I've chose the topic "Television Media."
Imagine a world without Television media, what would the society be like? In "Amusing Ourselves To Death" by Neil Postman, he explains how much of an impact entertainment has shaped our life in ways we cannot even imagine. In today's society, everything we watch has some sort of entertainment lurking behind it, we are so adapt to entertainment being in our life, we aren't aware of the damages it's doing to our own selves. Short attention span is one of many problems Television media has created; we now have access to hundreds of different channels in a touch of a button. Television media is altering the way we received our information negatively because of music being paramount when played during the news, discussions about a certain topics on Television news is too brief, all of these problems will have the result of making us ignorant on how we look at how the world truly is.
