have a great influence on
viewers?
• No not at all
• Oh I do very much
• News and talk shows
• Sports
• I guess they are, but often times, they
don’t give a comprehensive report on
particular events
• They’re much better because there are so
many channels to choose although few of
which seem non-value-loaded.
• Yes, they exactly know what they like best
• See, people often imitate what they see
on TV; people often behave as what TV
shows
• Yes, I think they are. But some aren’t
experienced yet
• Well, yes, but too much violence is shown.
I am afraid they will have adverse effects
on children’s behaviour
