I need an essay on "Televisions were said to ead the end of conversations , telephones the end of letter writing.Write about some great impact on family life in your generation..."
adviceman49 answered Saturday January 4 2014, 10:49 am: Like solidadvice4teens I too do not generally give advice on homework assignment. This assignment though definitely has made me curious as I could take the opposite view at least on television.
As television has grown and matured I believe it is capable of spawning more conversations than it has in causing the end of conversation. You could take the position that in the advent of television when there were only 2 or 3 channels here belief might have been true as families gathered around the television in the evening. Though wasn't that true of the radio programs. You would have to justify all this by expanding on how as television grew into the cable age and the 24 hour news cycle, the learning and documentary series availabilities on cable spawn discussions.
Your teacher is correct with the telephone. Like the telegraph was for the telephone making it easier for people to communicate with each other. The Internet made communication even more easier. The results of this are right in front of us with the problems of the Postal Service. A hint in the direction you need to take with the justification with this is; we humans can be lazy and if there is an easier alternative we will take the alternative if we see the advantage. You need to expand upon this to about 1000 words to justify. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
solidadvice4teens answered Friday January 3 2014, 11:16 am: I usually don't like to answer homework related questions. However, it's clear you don't understand your assignment. All the teacher seems to be asking for is an essay on why telephones and TV sets were thought to be the end of regular conversations and the need to write letters.
The teacher wants you to find someone from within your own family who grew up during the time the TV was first introduced and prove why or why not the above beliefs held true or not.
Come up with a thesis statement and a good 5-6 graphs that expand on it and tie it all back to the main argument you made in your first line of the essay.
If still having trouble consult your teacher and tell them you don't understand the assignment and what they want you to write. If you don't know anyone from the era where the TV set was introduced tell them that. It's better to approach the teacher if you are unsure about anything.
