Modern Television Lately television has been criticized for being a threat to the society as it shows too much sex and violence. There are too many war films and, even worse, too many stories about secret agents, criminals and the police, who shoot people as if they were rabbits. Naturally, a lot of people don’t want television to show sex, violence and cruelty. They say such programmes, if they have to be shown at all, should never be run at prime time, which is the most popular for watching television or any other time when children can see them. People also criticize bad-taste programmes where rude jokes are made, bad language is used or where people are made to fight over a sum of money forgetting all shame or programmes spying on people at the most intimate [??nt?m?t] moments of their lives. Such programmes give examples of humiliation and bad taste. Some political TV programmes introduce the views and ideas of one group of people instead of speaking about different views. More than anything TV viewers dislike TV commercials that can spoil the impression of any programme. B. There may be some words in the text that are new to you. What are these words? What helped you to understand what they mean? C. Listen to the same text then read it aloud.
