Few would deny the power and influence of television in today's world. In North America, TV programs are on the air 18 to 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. With the arrival of cable television and satellites, every major city has at least a dozen and often thirty or more channels of continuous programming to choose from. Most people spend between four and five hours each day — that's more than half their total leisure time — in front of the one-eyed monster.
It's not surprising, therefore, that television is being blamed for many of society's problems. For example, it is often said that television destroyed conversation. This is nonsense. On the contrary, people often discuss the programs they watch. Television has stimulated millions of conversations that otherwise would never have happened.
Some people say that television has destroyed the habit of reading. Yet people are reading more than ever. More books are sold in North America today than before the days of television. Television can market and sell books through its advertising and programming. Books become programs and programs become books.
Another criticism frequently heard is that many television programs containing scenes of violence and crime give rise to the crime and violence in society. Again, there is no real evidence to support this accusation. |

Passage 1
RUSSIA’S NEW REVOLUTION IN CONSERVATION
When naturalist Sergei Smirenski set out to create Russia’s first private nature reserve since the Bolshevik revolution, he knew that the greatest obstacle would be overcoming bureaucratic resistance.
The Moscow State University professor has charted a steep uphill course through a variety of foes, from local wildlife service officials who covet his funding to government officials who saw move value in development than conservation. But with incredible dedication, and the support of a wide range of international donors from Japan to the United States, the Murovyovka Nature Park has finally come into being.
Founded at a small ceremony last summer, the private reserve covers 11,000 acres of pristine wetlands along the banks of the Amur River in the Russia Far East. Here, amid forests and marshes encompassing a variety of microhabitats, nest some of the world’s rarest birds—tall, elegant cranes whose numbers are counted in the mere hundreds.
The creation of the park marks a new approach to nature conservation in Russia, one that combines traditional methods of protection with an attempt to adapt to the changing economic and political circumstances of the new Russia.
“There must be a thousand ways to save a wetland. It is time for vision and risk, and also hard practicality,” wrote Jim Harris, deputy director of the International Crane Foundation, a Wisconsin-based organization dedicated to the study and preservation of cranes, which has been a major supporter of the Murovyovka project.
Dr. Smirenski’s vision has been eminently down to earth. At every step, he has tried to involve local officials, businessmen and collective farms in the project, giving them a practical, economic stake in its success. And with international support, he is trying to introduce new methods of organize farming that will be more compatible with preserving the wetlands. |
