Role
of TV and Movie Personalities in Developing Youth
What’s a TV? It’s a
square, sometimes rectangle, plastic box with electrical wirings and steel
parts with a glass panel that resembles a window. In a sense, you could
consider a common TV as a window to another life you can never truly live.
Sometimes, you could call it a lie everyone wants to live. Why? Let’s admit it.
Our lives can become boring in some points in our lives, and to that point we
seek this window to escape and try to jump into something that’s never going to
happen. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t try and make something out of it.
This world is going through a lot of change, and because it is, the future is in the youth’s hands. Our hands. People say that TV is a bad influence, and since the youth are naïve and believe what they see in TV, maybe too much COULD end up melting a person’s brain or mental capacity, but in the end, the TV is the most prevalent visual aid, so let me ask you this now. How many of you, have people you look up to in television, people you want to be like? Good. Everyone has a story to tell, but what’s a story if you don’t have a character. A character is the strongest medium of strength and influence within the minds of the young. We learn and create morals and beliefs from snippets of things we’ve learned from what people say and do in TV. Truth or Deception maybe, but the people in TV have and continued to give people something to believe in or dreams they can hope to accomplish. Why does that happen, though? The people on TV is easier to empathize with and probably sympathize if you’re experiencing something similar than watching the environment change.
Let’s take the actress Kristen Bell for example. She’s played Veronica Mars from, well, Veronica Mars, and though her character lives a life full of tragic mystery and painful social hierarchy, her character teaches women to be strong, to fight for what’s theirs. Though she also teaches a lot about grudges and revenge, she taught how the real world isn’t like a fairytale and if you want to earn something, you have to go through hell and back to get to where you are and people are going to get in your way, maybe occasionally help you, but in the end it’s always going to be you. Another good example would be Josh Radnor who played Ted Mosby from the recently concluded sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. What did you look forward to, other than the funny parts in that show? Who the wife is, right? Ted’s story goes as far as 9 seasons to tell the story of how he found his one true love amidst all the crazy adventures. In the end, it’s inspiring to know that Ted finds her in the end, right?
A quote from Persona 3’s Final Boss goes like this: “The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed. One of life’s greatest blessings is the freedom to choose one’s goals” In the end, we choose what we want to do in life, and the people we see in TV are little pushes and in the end, we look for that channel to that certain window we want to learn from. When we do find it, we’re given the opportunity to choose how we’ll live that lie and turn into a better truth. That’s what the people in TV do for us. Now I’ll end you with this. Our lives are a series of choices. In the end, have you chosen?
