As more shows and movies are now able to allow us to gain an insight into different cultures and customs, some might claim that we can understand more about many other countries simply by watching it on TV. While it might be true in some true in some cases, I believe that there is a range of unexplored ways of life that could never be seen on any television programs.
From my viewpoint, I can understand why some people point to the view that television programs and films is a vital source of information about another country. In today’s fast-growing world, the majority of nations and regions all want to introduce their various lifestyles and traditions to the whole world in order to develop the tourist industry and generate more revenue from it. As a result, hundreds of reality shows and documentaries about a specific community or region are broadcast on a regular basis, which hopefully catches the attention of as many international tourists as possible. For instance, I have learned about Carnival festivals which are celebrated annually in South American countries thanks to lots of televised programs.
However, I believe that no matter how many shows we watch on TV, there are diverse lifestyles and customs of other communities that human beings are still clueless about, ranging from hunting methods of many indigenious tribes living in the Amazon to ancient traditions and untouched landscapes of the Altai Mountains in Russia. Due to the uninhabitable environment, such places remain unaffected from the rest of the planet, which means that an average viewer will never be able to know anything about those remote areas. On the other hand, avid travelers in these cases can obtain a better understanding of the far-flung destinations where they are going to explore or study. For example, by visiting a fishing village in Greenland, I could understand the whole process of trapping king crabs, the primary source of food for the locals, which hasn’t been on-air until today.
In conclusion, it seems to me that television can help us all to know about distinct areas and regions on Earth, but there are still undiscovered secrets that haven’t been published on this important public service.
