Measurements were taken on the basis of ability to feel emotions, but in the famous novel the androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Philip K. Dick, the difference between humans and androids .
Feelings. Today we tried this: confusion, disorientation, sadness. We are men and not androids, even watching TV.
face of events that should lead to silence, reflection and sympathy, one faces the spectacle of the play, a theatrical performance rather than the media once the story and objective chronicle of facts.
TV is still synonymous with information? Or maybe it's just become synonymous with entertainment? Even at the cost of bringing on the screens of millions of Italians to the tragedy of a mother who sees her daughter killed and raped, and that silence which would probably be close but broken by a live television that, while preserving the freedom of the press, instead affects the sensitivity of a person.
On occasions we do not want to see occur, such as the confession of a brutal rapist and murderer, we would like the TV would stop and think. A mature democratic society can not you feed herself the message of the Orwellian "Big Brother is watching you" .
There should be a time limit beyond which you can not go. But not a requirement of public decorum and moderation to the viewers more sensitive but still a need for more stringent as the discretion and sensitivity.
This reflection would lose its force if primitive but dwelt only on the present: has long been assumed that the TV has connotations ever more spectacular and less cultural and informative. It has lost sight of the concept inherent in the word itself: look far. This
It has not the ambition of forming their audiences to think critically: strives to satisfy a certain proportion of users concerned. Not advancing, in short, but the flattening intellectual. If a mission was in the TV past, today this is diametrically changed for the worse. Becoming itself an advocate - but even with other major components - dell'abbruttimento and mental impoverishment, cultural, human and even in our country.
is on the basis of these considerations, we support the actions of civil society and democratic politics in order to defend the rights of all the Italian viewers, but also to protect the cultural growth of our country. Culture and Information must be points on which to stimulate the heads of the Public Service so that the scheduling of future offers to new content rather than pure entertainment but also of high cultural and educational information .
