GRE Issue高频提纲——传媒类

1. "The worldwide distribution of television programs and advertisements is seriously diminishing the differences among cultures."
2. "High-speed electronic communications media, such as electronic mail and television, tend to prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication."
a) 现代的通信有助于交流，比如电话，email等，效率很高，而且很快。可以达到及时交流的目的，十分方便。比如你和你的父母离的很远，书信方式显然很慢，而电话或者邮件，既省时间，又可以随时的达到沟通,可以让它们及时了解你的情况。
b) 在人与人交往方面，阻止了meaningful，thoughtful的交流。Meaningful，thoughtful的交流需要面对面，有肢体语言作为辅助，很生动形象。比如一对情侣会以接吻的方式来表达对对方的爱，一个母亲会用抚摸孩子的方式来表达对孩子的关心等等，然而目前所有的高速交流方式都达不到这个要求。即便是可视电话，虽然可以看到对方的相貌，但是仍然不能让对方得到你的拥抱或者热吻。
c) 在学习知识方面，这些通讯工具阻止了meaningful，thoughtful的交流。听老师讲课是一种互动的过程，可以提问，老师的回答帮助更好的理解。老师还能给学生自己的生动的经验。而通过这些告诉通讯工具来学习知识，是一种被动的过程，而且电视中更多的节目是迎合了人们追求感官享受，而很少能提供有益的知识。
3. "In this age of intensive media coverage, it is no longer possible for a society to regard any woman or man as a hero. The reputation of anyone who is subjected to media scrutiny will eventually be diminished."
4. "The purpose of many advertisements is to make consumers want to buy a product so that they will 'be like' the person in the ad. This practice is effective because it not only sells products but also helps people feel better about themselves." 
5 "Instant communication systems encourage people to form hasty opinions and give quick replies rather than take the time to develop thoughtful, well-reasoned points of view."
6 "The bombardment of visual images in contemporary society has the effect of making people less able to focus clearly and extensively on a single issue over a long period of time."
