It is almost impossible to imagine our life without TV. It plays a great and a very important role in the life of modern man. There is practically no family that doesn't have a TV set. TV is one of the mass media kinds. Radio and newspapers tell us about different events but TV not only tells but also shows. TV has a lot of channels and everybody can watch the programs he likes. Our television suggests various programs: talk show and game show, news and sporting events, about animals and about foreign countries and so on. Soaps-lovers can watch their favorite films almost every day. TV shows us a lot of films of different countries: detective and melodrama, comedy and triller. As former I like to see adventure films, fantasy, comedies. My favorite sporting events programs are about volleyball, swimming, track-and-field athletics and gymnastic. I watch many programs with great interest. These programs are: a wild nature program, "Anshlag", some game shows and so on. There are a lot of films (most of them of foreign TV-companies) with a great number of corpses, with seas of blood now. It's not very good to my mind. I think that one of the aims of TV is to bring up TV-viewers, to cultivate love to our country, kindness and other positive features of character.
"the baby boom" doesn't help: working hands is getting smaller demographic statistics in russia resembles the statistics of the war period: the population is shrinking every year 700 thousand people. mortality is twice that in developed countries, and life expectancy among men is the lowest in the world, 60 years. now if in the country of 142 million people, by 2050 there may remain only 100 million vladimir putin in 2000 indicated that the population decline threatens the very existence of russia. six years later he increased support for mothers and offered a premium for the birth of her second child. the birth rate began to rise, but the mortality rate has not declined, as did not increase lifespan. putin cheered and said that in the next three to four years the country will be able to stabilize the demographic situation. in fact, reasons for optimism are few, and to achieve this goal, increasing the population of the russian federation up to 145 million people, it is impossible, experts say. the head of the center for demography and human ecology anatoly vishnevsky says that one of the "baby boom" does not mean anything: it's possible that people decide to have children now, while this form of the prize, but in the long term the total number of children in families will not increase. the middle class will not tempt the cash payments. scientists attribute the current surge in the birth rate that matured and began to start families, many children of the 1980-ies. but the next generation of parents will be much fewer in number. "in the next few years we will see a sharp decline in the birth rate," warns wisniewski. at the same time, the mortality rate will rise - there will come a time to die post-war generation of children.
