Read the following passage to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Television’s contribution to family life in the United States has been an equivocal one. For while it
has, indeed, kept the members of the family from dispersing, it has not served to bring them together. By
dominating the time families spend together, it destroys the special quality that distinguishes one family from
another, a quality that depends to a great extent on what a family does, what special rituals, games, recurrent
jokes, familiar songs, and shared activities it accumulates.
“Like the sorcerer of old,” writes Urie Bronfenbrenner, “the television set casts its magic spell,
freezing speech and action, turning the living into silent statues so long as the enchantment lasts. The
primary danger of the television screen lies not so much in the behavior it produces — although there is
danger there — as in the behavior it prevents : the talks, games, the family festivities, and arguments through
which much of the child’s learning takes place and through which character is formed. Turning on the
television set can turn off the process that transforms children into people.” Of course, families today still do
special things together at times : go camping in the summer, go to the zoo on a nice Sunday, take various
trips and expeditions. But the ordinary daily life together is diminished — that sitting around at the dinner
table, that spontaneous taking up of an activity, those little games invented by children on the spur of the
moment when there is nothing else to do, the scribbling, the chatting, the quarreling, all the things that form
the fabric of a family, that define a childhood.Instead, the children have their regular schedule of television
programs and bedtime, and the parents have their peaceful dinner together. But surely the needs of adults are
being better met than the needs of children, who are effectively shunted away and rendered untroublesome.
If the family does not accumulate its backlog of shared experiences, shared everyday experiences that
occur and recur and change and develop, then it is not likely to survive as anything other than a caretaking
institution.
