Does TV influence people’s opinion?

I don’t think so. In my opinion, TV influences only mentally basic people. TV is an actual way of public communication and it doesn’t have the objective to influence people, it only gives us the facts and we take our conclusions. There may be some people that just go straight on with one opinion without thinking about the case or try other opinions.
Some people may ask “And what about publicity?” That’s another case. Publicity only gives us information about some products and, most of the time, we make our own opinion based on the products we see on TV.
The only exceptions are the talk shows where people change ideas about a particular subject (even that isn’t really a big exception because there are always two groups with two different points of view, so we can listen to both and choose one to defend).
The only people influenced that may be considered innocent because of their age are those litlle children that after watching cartoon all morning jump from the window yelling, “I’m superman.”
Concluding, I leave the message to those who can’t have their own point of view about a subject: Think for yourselves, if anyone goes to TV and says “Jumping from buildings is cool.” would you jump or first think about that?

The environment ...
The environment is the synonym for a "good quality of life"! In fact, preserving the environment is everybody's responsibility. However we forget it. We pollute rivers, seas and the city air. We throw a lot of litter on the rivers, seas/oceans, floor and most important of all, we destroy the forests and the green places (in general).

Trees are very important because they help controlling the world’s climate. Without them we will have more and more floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and snowstorms. It's time for us to think of the future. It's time to forbid smoke from factories, vehicles and control the waste of water.
It's time to think of tomorrow, after it is too later!!! It's all.
