Movie influences the society

Gone were the days, when people used to conduct meeting to share their personal views and opinion about the society and the situation of particulars. Group chatting or meeting is the best way to communicate with others and it also helps to transmit the idea from one to another. Now, because of the media penetration into our social structure all process of sharing the views and communicating meaning has been vanishing. Yes, movie influences most of the viewers by their program content. 

Many philosophers have said, cinema is a reflection of society and movie is showing the same content to their viewers. Movies or television based program show most of the part of our society in terms of incidents, situation, and moments. For instance, there are some program which broadcasts on Indian tv channels i.e. Savannah India, Crime Petrol, Balika Vadhu, Budh etc. All these programs have influence content in different genres. I have seen many cases in my area which is enough to describe the influence of movies over people’s behaviour. 

More astonishingly, action movies have more influencing power than any other genres, after watching action movies most of the people feels that, they would also be able to beat/fight or perform the action task as the actor did perform in movies to protect love. Television contains the visual images, motion pictures with sound which are enough to influence any person in their personal life. Movies gives us an idea to their viewer about the particular theme. For instance, patriotism movies gives ideas to the people about how can they protect their nation from enemy and evil country, Situational based movie describes the current or may be we can say previous scenario of our society i.e. rape, abduction, hunger etc.

In my personal opinion, television influence more than teaching over any theme. In the salad days of millennium, people has been liking to stay more at home rather then going out for some adventure, due to this scenario television becomes only source of entertainment for them. Television has destroyed the means of communication among the friends and family. People likes watching TV more than chatting with their personal friends and family. 

In a broader sense, I would like to say that, Television becomes the only source to get the some peace of information in a mean time and television contains some uncultured program also which we have to see while watching news. Either we believe it or not but the reality is television has power to influence the masses with its content.
