We have no time

Everyday we have no time to cook or no place to cook but we are hungry and we move to the nearest cafe or McDonald’s. There we can buy almost everything we want and we try to do it as quickly as possible. We eat quickly and move to our jobs, universities etc. Fast food restaurants help us to save our time, but do they help to save our health? Many people consider this question to be childish and silly, but there is still a food for thought.
It is not a secret that there is a great amount of calories in fast food. But there is also a trans fat in fast food. Trans fat is a common name for a type of unsaturated fat with trans-isomer fatty acid. Trans fats which are commonly found in fast food have been shown in many tests to have a negative health effect on the body. A 2006 study fed monkeys a diet consisting of a similar level of trans fats a person who ate fast food regularly would consume. Both diets contained the same overall number of calories. It was found out that monkeys who consumed higher level of trans fat developed more abdominal fat than those fed a diet rich in unsaturated fats. They also developed signs of insulin resistance, which is an early indicator of diabetes. After six years on the diet, the trans fat fed monkeys had gained 7.2% of their body weight, compared to just 1.8% in the unsaturated fat group.
To sum up we would like to add that people should think what they eat.

What is TV for you?

Television is one of the most used words in contemporary language. However, it's not a very old thing. It's a way of delivering information, a mass-media tool. It's the second place after the Internet to know news quickly and the weather, to listen to the experts' comments on political situation, to watch an interesting or a useful films (they are rare to be both at once), to see the wild life or some countries you will have never been to. It creates dreams, it makes you think like other people, dream of and buy the things they want you to dream of and buy. So, there are many opinions about the television.
Nearly everyone nowadays has a TV-set in his house, but does he watch it? Elderly people, usually pensioners who have a lot of free time; they watch TV for some hours a day. They most enjoy the soap operas, and some specialists even call it a sort of narcotics. Adults who still work watch not much, but they relax watching films. And the young people, that some years ago were constantly watching TV, now gave it up for another greatest tool of entertainment - the Internet.
And what is TV for you?

TV

TV was invented at the beginning of the 20th century. A system of coloured television of electronic type was developed in the 50s in the USA, Russia and then in other countries.
Nowadays TV plays an important role in people’s life. Usually people watch TV to learn the latest interesting world news. Television is very popular among the young persons.
There are many interesting and popular television programmes on TV. For example, programmes devoted to the social problems. It can be very useful to watch such programmes, because different problems and different points of view are described there. Television programmes about animals are very popular too. Teenagers like the reality shows very much. People acting in this kind of shows are usually also young. That’s why reality shows are usually popular among young adults.
Despite the fact that watching TV is very interesting, some scientists believe that it can be harmful. They consider TV to be very violent and cruel for children psychology. And they believe that instead of communicating each other, the whole family sits glued to the TV-set.
Nevertheless millions of people are watching TV every day. They watch it to be well informed and sometimes just to relax.

TV and manipulation

It is very sad to write this message, but everything written here is true. Most people spend their leisure time at home before the TV screen. Our authorities know it very well. That is why they consider television to be the most powerful instrument for propaganda. They manipulate social views and tell us how we should live our lives. Mature and smart people understand it very well, they don’t watch TV, as they know that there is nothing interesting for them. TV can be interesting for several categories of citizens. The first category consists of housewives, pensioners and their supporters. They are absolutely narrow-minded people, they are ready to watch anything they are offered. They sympathize with stupid main heroes of their favorite soap operas. They believe all news they hear in information programs. The second category consists of pseudo-clever and mature people. These people pretend to be clever, they watch various political shows, analytics and other staff of this kind. They think over these programs, analyze information and make conclusions. However, they are not clever enough to understand that this entire staff is false. These programs are meant for manipulation of social consciousness. The real state of affairs remains behind the news we hear and only really clever people can understand this real state of affairs, deeply analyzing everything they hear. In order to analyze this material and make right conclusions, a person must have profound knowledge of various disciplines. Dilettantism is irrelevant here!

Satellite TV

Satellite television is a very good way to entertain yourself when you are at home and don’t know what to do. You can switch over thousands of channels and find something to your taste. There is no need to enumerate these channels and their subject areas, as there is no room in this article to mention all of them. It is enough to say that there are channels which cover almost all possible topics. Among them there are channels, devoted to fishing, sport, cinema, news, documentaries, history, geography, economy, nature, etc. If you are fond of one of these topics there can be two variants for you: either you will watch this or that channel all the time, as each next program is more interesting than the previous one or you may not watch TV at all, as you will understand that it become a sort of addiction. Addiction in turn can be treated only by means of complete rejection. Satellite TV gives you a splendid opportunity to forget about your problems and troubles and plunge into the world of interesting and amusing events, innovations and discoveries. Documentaries, films and programs, which are shown via satellite channels are not demonstrated on municipal TV, as these channels are meant for an average low-brow citizen, who is not interested in specific topics, such as historical events, investigations, geography and wild life. They mostly prefer soap operas, low-brow TV shows, where instead of ordinary people, actors participate and thus deceive those, who watch them. Of course, satellite channels are intended for housewives and workers. Every man to his taste.

Specialized channels

I hate free TV channels for the mass audience, as they are uninteresting and boring. Besides, they are full of irritating advertisement. I never watch them. I prefer to watch specialized cable TV channels. They are very useful and informative. I think that they can even replace books. They are very useful for many reasons. The importance of specialized channels can scarcely be overestimated. They are especially useful for children. I’ll try to explain you why. For example, what is better for a child: to read a lot of books about knights and try to imagine their look and appearance, or to see the reconstructed image of a knight on the TV screen? I think that it is much better to see him with your own eyes. Seeing is believing.
There is one more reason why specialized channels are useful for children and teenagers. It is not a secret that young people don’t like reading books. It’s a pity because they lose much in this life. They are very often ignorant of history, geography and so on. Fortunately, today they can make up for the lack of knowledge with watching these channels. Besides, there are a lot of people, who are very busy with their household tasks and have no time to sit on a sofa and watch TV. However, they can, for example, wash the plates and listen to the program, looking at the screen at times. Thus they can combine business with pleasure. I am fond of specialized channels too. When I watch them I can’t tear myself away from the TV screen.

Modern Television

I have found out that I hate modern television. Here I mean, of course, free channels for mass audience. As for specialized channels, for example history, educational, music channels, they are very interesting and when you start watching them, you often can’t turn off your TV-set, because each next program seems more interesting than previous ones. Quite a different impression produce popular channels for mass audience. They are full of irritating and annoying advertisement, which repeats several times a day or even several times during one program. Besides, it is very long and when it ends, you don’t remember what you are watching. This leads to constant switching over channels. It turns out that you manage to watch several TV shows at the same time and as a result there is such confusion that you may have headache or other disturbances. TV men complain that they lack money as their television is free and that is why they are forced to show advertisement very often. However, I think that causes and effects have changed their places. I mean that it is not advertisement that exists for moneyed assistance of TV channels. On the contrary, TV shows and programs exist to dilute advertisement with something, which is not so disgusting for people. Experience shows that advertising channels are not successful, because nobody is ready to watch advertisement all day long. Besides all TV shows are also low-brow and uninteresting. People, who participate in them, are mainly actors, low-brow actors and beginners. All talks on TV shows are unnatural and very far from real life.
