Radio reaches more people continuously through out the day( example. waking up in the morn radio alarm clocks. drives to store, work, in some offices, stores etc.)\nrepetitious commercials tend to get people to go where you want them to go.\n\nBut TV has the visual stimulation with the audio to get people to do more than radio.

Only if you have low or no self esteem.TV is fantasy only. The problem with TV is that it promotes drugs,alcohol, and sex in a positive way, instead of having the pros and cons it only shows the pros. This year there was a 20% rise in AIDS. It will only increase if we don't educate teens instead of handing out condoms.

well if you meant old days before the invention of tv ,airplanes ,motorized ships .you will have a different ansrwers. in the past cultures were isolated far from each others until trades and needs for food and other vital needs start to move populations to farther places where these communities  met other communities and not only goods and material things are traded knowledges of new ideas ,thoughts and in some cases ,wars between tribes, lead the winners to gain cultural ideas ,they i mean humain immigration through hunger or commerce or drought lead the humain communities to intersect and social religious ,economical thinking ,languages had to meet and today we are dissolved almost in a huge village called planet earth .

I believe tv desensitizes us from what we see in real life.  Often it can lead to accepting things that we might have found morally or lawfully wrong had we not watched the shows we watch IMO.

Violence on TV has no effect on me.\nI'd like to kill the mofo that says it does........\n\nNo, seriously, it impacts on the language we use (from slang to swearing) as well as how we dress and make ourselves look (when Friends was popular, a lot of women copied Jennifer Aniston's hair).\n\nGood Luck with your paper.

Cultural behaviour is the behaviour that is 'learned'. In marketing, you need to 'know' and 'understand' about consumers' preferences, desires etc so as to find and retain them. The idea is that the product/service should be 'loved' and 'owned' by your customers/consumers and not just 'preferred' over competitors' product/services.

The short answer to your question is: somewhere in-between.\n\nPhrases like "wait a minute", "that's what I call", and "I bet" are phrases that Americans would use in everyday life.  However, there are characteristics of the dialogue on movies and television shows that are not like realistic language.  For one thing, on television the things that people say don't overlap with each other much, while in normal conversation there is a lot of overlap between utterances.  In addition, people on television never have a misunderstanding and have to repair it like people in real life sometimes do.  The structure of conversations is different, and so forth.\n\nI think you might be able to discover the answer to this question if you think about television programs in Spanish.  You'll be able to recognize that there are similarities and differences.

Yes.  Children who spend their time watching television are not spending that time doing homework, reading for pleasure, playing outside and learning through experiencing their environment.  Television deadens the senses and decreases children's ability to become stimulated.  \n\nOf course, some television programs are worse than others.

That depends on what you watch. There are a large number of educational programs for all ages (especially on the PBS channel). There is also a lot of no-brain nonsense, stuff like Survivor and reality shows and most sitcoms, that have no redeaming value at all.

Not really:  I see it more as 'coming full circle.'\n\nFirst, in the olden days, (before TV, movies, & even radio!) people entertained each other all the time.  People who played paino or guitar or harmonica were the musical part of the 'program,' everyone knew (as we do now) at least one quick wit who was good for laughs, and if nothing else, the dumbest person in the group could be counted upon to say or do somethign interesting now & then.  And, all of this could be entertaining without reaching the same level of sophistication because it made up for that by allowing direct, immediate feedback.  Entertainment was more of a conversation; likewise, conversation was a bigger part of entertainment.\n\nWith the coming of all these professional entertainment technologies, people saw the possibilities of the entertainment becoming more sophisticated, but didn't recognize what they were giving up in exchange.  But it also didn't matter, because they didn't spend so much time at computers (or, to a lesser extent) on the phone.  Instead, they were conducting much of their business & personal affairs face-to-face.  So, they still had enough direct-feedback, face time in their lives.\n\nNow, we spend SO MUCH LESS time directly interacting with each other, we have (consciously  or subconsciously) come to realize that the polished and very impersonal entertainment no longer makes up for the missing interaction.  So, we come back around to a more 'personal' form of entertainment.\n\nWe're still not finished, though.  The level of feedback available has increased, but I'm guessing that it still isn't enough to fulfill our social needs.  There will either be another shift that makes entertainment even more personal (more 2-way webcamming may be one way that happens,) or people will begin to drift farther away from all the electronic entertainments, in favor of more personal time.  That would be a continuation of the trend away from movies & TV, and toward the internet, of which this site is an exellent example of 'conversations.'

I did a great informative speech in college on Children and Violence in Television, and how the violence on TV influences their actions. I found a ton of information supporting this theme on the internet and in the library. It was easy to research.\n\nOther ideas involving children:\nChildren and the gender roles portrayed in cartoons\nHow Children Play\nHow Children Learn

Nonverbal communication skills are probably similar in many languages, though different cultures will have their own particular facial expressions and body language.  What may be accpetable in one culture may be an insult in another.  For example, personal space can be very different from culture to culture.  In my cultural loud burps at the dinner table are considered ignorant and rude while in Inuit culture they traditionally expressed appreciation for a good meal.\n\nYou need to find a person who is Portuguese to get a good specific respsonse, but here are some sites that may help you.

Broadcast television is obsolete.  Cable, webcast, all those things that involve many, many more choices, and the opportunity to communicate with a self-selected specialized audience, has essentially replaced broadcast for all but the oldest population.  And many people don't bother with entertainment shows at all.  They play CDs, DVDs, and interact with web sites and games on their computer, but don't sit passively and watch a sitcom anymore.

Absolutely, there was a time before "tv" and "AC" that families used set on front porches on summer evenings and conversed with neighbors as they "walked" pass.\nToday with cell phones in hand, we don’t even have time or social space to speak to them, even if we were still on our porches.\nAlmost every home has the living room arranged around the tv  so as to discourage conversation and fix attention on the tv. \nTV dinners, tv trays, under counter tv's most of us don't have very much practice at social interaction.\nElectronic games, tv and computers have replaced outside playing for our children.. Most of us don't know any of our neighbors beyond the one next door.\nChanges in almost every area of social interaction has reduced the need to know and care about those we live around..\nEven our jobs are no longer lifetime careers but we change as technology does.\nWe are more mobile. We no longer stay in one community all our lives but make several changes during our adult lives. \nBusing has ended community schools etc   etc   etc.\nSo many changes based on technology that polite social interaction of yester year is gone forever.
