Television, especially cable television, allows us to see things that without it, before internet, we would never be able to see. Take for example the Food Network. Here we are able to see concrete examples of cuisine and cooking styles from all kinds of different countries and cultures. \n24-hours news has forced the news services to focus on much more of the world's happenings as they have to fill an entire days worth of programing. \nI live in the South so winter sports are obviously not avaliable in my area. Thanks to TV I am able to witness skiing, snowboarding and curling. Freestyle wrestling is not a practiced sport in my area either, but TV allows me to witness these events. \nThere are countless other examples on how TV has forced us to become more global thinkers (while concurrently rotting our brains).

it helps in various ways...\n\nIn this new world, good cross-cultural communication is a must. \n \nFor those of us who are native English-speakers, it is fortunate that English seems to be the language that people use if they want to reach the widest possible audience. However, even for native English speakers, cross-cultural communication can be an issue: Just witness the mutual incomprehension that can sometimes arise between people from different English-speaking countries.\nUnderstanding Cultural Diversity...it is perhaps most important for people to realize that a basic understanding of cultural diversity is the key to effective cross-cultural communications.\n\nDeveloping Awareness of Individual Cultures.....Generally speaking, patience, courtesy and a bit of curiosity go a long way.\n\nDemand Tolerance...Most people will appreciate the information and will work hard to understand different needs and different means used to reach common goals.\n\nKeep It Simple And Get Help If You Need It\n\nok then...these were some of the essentials for u to understand...\ngood luck\n\nany question gimme a message

Australian awareness of American culture increased during the 1960s partly because of the number of American soldiers taking R&R there from the Vietnam War.  Television became more common in Australia during that decade, exposing Aussies to American culture through television shows.

The more you learn about everything, the more you can see ways that relate to your own life and your own choices.  \n\nFor example, if you know about other cultures and societies, you will know why some people from that culture act the way they do and you will be able to treat them appropriately.  If you become a worker or manager, you will understand why they behave differently from their colleagues.  \n\nIt's also helpful when traveling.  That way you don't do stupid things when you are making your way in THEIR country or culture.\n\nThe more you know, the better.

HAHA, YOU AGAIN! WELL I'M STILL WATCHING FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR AND WILL SMITH! THE POSITIVE IMPACTS OF TELEVISION WOULD BE THAT IT CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH VALUABLE INFORMATION AT A MODERATE RATE AND IT CONSTANTLY CHANGES. TELEVISION IS ALSO EVOLVING AS WE AS PEOPLE AND AS OUR NATION EVOLVES, SO DO OUR STORIES AND THE WAY THEY ARE DELIVERED EVOLVES. AND THAT CAN EFFECT OUR EVERY DAY LIVES WHICH MAKES ONE FEEL CONNECTED TO THE STORY OR MESSAGE.

1. 8\n\n2. Broad national culture\n\n3. Both. Some shows make positive portrayal, some networks seem to constantly make negative portrayal (fox news).\n\n4. Yes. By conscious and unconsious feedback.\n\n5. Yes. Portrayals of similary appearances and personalities in positive situations are validating.\n\n6. Big improvements. The issue seems tightly interwoven with broader racial issues in America - I don't see a quick fix.

It's an entertainment medium.  I dearly love to read but I realize that it isolates me from my family when I tuck into a book and tune them out.  If nobody is up for a boardgame or wants to bake cookies or help with the housework then I'll meet them in front of the TV for a favorite show, cuddle my daughter and get the benefit of just being in each others' orbit.  Sometimes, TV IS a togetherness thing.

In excess, television can be a hazzard.\n\nBy sitting in front of a television screen, children become sedentary. Television also limits thier imagination and time spent with friends and family.

- Television makes you less sociable.\n- Some people become sort of addicted to television and    never leave it.\n- Makes you ignore other priorities.\n\nThese are what i can think of right now.. hehe

I am pretty sure it is the ease of which a culture trait or technology can move from one culture to another, and the "worth" of the transfer, if the cost of bringing this technology is worth the effect it will have on the culture.

Television can be a wealth of knowledge if utilized properly. One can receive great educational benefits from various channels, it all depends on what you are seeking to acquire from the tube. You can learn how to be a great speaker from C-Span, learn different skills to improve the home and garden on HG-TV, not to mention all the science and history channels. It all depends on what you desire to learn.

We have become a passive society, waiting for something interesting to come to us instead of seeking out that which might be of interest.\n\nIn and of itself, entertainment is a necessary part of our culture.  It is a distraction from our everyday routine--something out of the ordinary that appeals to our love of music, literature, theatre, even laughter.  I think we all need at least some of it in our lives--when it rises above just the popular, it can educate and uplift us.\n\nBut modern entertainment is delivered to us much of the time so we need do little to receive it--other than to push a button.  That has resulted in a diluting or "dumbing down" of so much cultural content that it's all pretty much pablum--easy to take, but not much going on.\n\nSo, yes we need entertainment in our live--just not most of the crap that finds its way into our homes and multiplexes.

Really interesting question.  Thinking about it, sports really do serve as a vehicle to bridge cultural gaps.  By participating in the same leisure activites, it lets people from different cultures realize that maybe they are not too different.  In addition, fans respect great players of the games they follow regardless of where they live or come from; during international events (ie Olympics) or by having international players on local teams, people become more interested in the personal stories of these players and thus more interested/more accepting of other cultures.

culture is passed on from generation to generation,you will treat your kids the same way your parents treated you,the same way your grand parents treated your parents unless external forces such as education,etc modify that indigenous knowledge.
