This topic can be a bit sensitive for someone, since there are many people who are in love of junk TV. The most channels on TV are gossip programs that do not really teach anything, but people like them because they are funny and entertaining. In contrast, there are few culture channels on TV like for example documentaries.
The main goal of enterprises is to earn money and, for it, they must get audience, offering contents that are interesting for viewers. Almost any one do not think about cultural aspects of society because people interest gossiping, hence junk TV is more extended in television world. Additionally, there are even some programs that are capable of tricking to people only for the money. An example is "Big Brother", a reality show in which a group of people are random selected to live inside a house and there have to be arguments, amorousness, fightings, etc. in order to entertain viewers. When the atmosphere is calm, the own reality tell the protagonists what they have to do, hence they are acting and it is not real. The problem is that people are easy to manipulate through television.
However, documentaries, history movies or programs related with the life ans culture are watched by very few people because the most say that they are boring. This is the reason for there are less culture channels on TV and it is very sad. Today society prefer watching junk TV to learning and developing their own culture.
