7.- RECOMMENDATION

Movies ans television influence people's behavior.

Nowadays, television offers us a lot of types of programms which are addressed to a large public: movies, documentaries, such as TV series. I believe that all these programms influence people's behavior. Right now, there are a lot of people who live like if they were characters of a movie.
First, we spend a lot of hours in front of the television; this is the reason why unconsciously our behavior changes. Sometimes, we try to be like all those people who appear on TV, people that apparently have a fantastic life. However, I consider we should try to differentiate between real life and fiction because it's easy to solve problems, to have an opinion or to be accepted if you are interpreting a role, but it's difficult to do the same things if you are in real life. For example, some years ago there was a TV series which was about some boys and girls who were ill, and they lived in hospital. In the series, the boys played, laughed, prepared parties, etc. but reality is very different.. There are dozens of examples like that. The creators of these series or films write scripts which are far from our life but, despite that, they are able to influence us.
To sum up, I want to say that we must be conscious of the difference between real life and TV. In my opinion we shouldn't be influenced by movies and series because they are just entertainment, nothing else.
