If I were asked to send one thing representingmy country to an international exhibition. I'd sendsomething unexpected: one week's worth oftelevision programming. These programs would best represent my county. They show how thecitizens of my country live and what they think and feel.
The dramas on television are very realistic. They show how people in different parts of thecountry go about their daily lives. They show how they earn their livings, how they deal withcrime, and how they interact with each other. The dramas also show how people in variouseconomic groups dress, what kinds of houses they live in, and what kinds of education theirchildren receive.
The comedies indicate what people in my country think is funny. Even though thesituations are exaggerated, they reflect how my culture deals with very basic humansituations. People everywhere understand falling in love, raising a family, and earning a living.
The documentaries show what issues we're concerned about and how we want to resolvethem. Some documentaries tell stories from our history. Others look into the future. Theyspeculate on how we'll function as a country in the new millennium. Still others examine ourpolitical system, its failures and its successes.
The sports programs show what we think about winning and losing. They demonstratehow we feel about fairness. Some of the wealthiest people in our country are the athletes wewatch playing professional sports. This, also, is a reflection of our values.
Television is a common cultural experience in my country. It reflects my country's uniquepersonality. I think it would be the perfect way to show what my county is like.
