Situation

At a students' debating club a discussion is held on the role of televi­sion in society. Some students of the British group who are on an ex­change visit to Moscow are participating in it. The discussion is con­ducted by a well-known journalist. The students are asked to give some serious thought to the following problems:

1. Television and children. (Whole generations are growing up ad­dicted to television.)

323

2. Boob versus screen versions. (Active pursuits such as reading give way to passive screen-watching.)

3. The pros and cons of video cassette TV.
