TV Dictatorship

Nowadays the mass communication devices have a big influence in our lives, mostly the television. The TV shows us how to dress, how to act and even how to think.

But we ask ourselves: why does the TV have so much influence? Simple: because we let it. It is us who adequate ourselves to what the TV shows.

The TV runs the fashion business, and soon what once was on TV is on the streets, being worn by people. The TV runs the music business, shows us which are the "good" bands and the "bad" bands. Censors by it's own patterns and we have to follow without protest.

TV generates conformity and standardising of our minds. Today people prefer being alike to being original. They prefer to fit into a group, a label, a stereotype. Maybe it's for the fear of feeling left out, the outcast.

We un-personalise ourselves, loosing our individuality bit by bit, and the worst thing is that it is out of our own free will! We watch the TV programs without knowing that the programmed is the one sitting before the screen.

Maybe it's time to turn off the television and search for our true identities.
