APPLICATION
Directions: In two paragraphs, write your reaction to the arguments presented by the writer in
the manifesto activity number 3. Use the questions below as guide in writing your reaction. (see
rubric on page 11)

A. Is the argument generally logically acceptable?

Yes

B. Are the evidences presented realistic?

Yes

C. Is the argument leading to the development of society? Write your answer on a separate
sheet of paper.

Yes

3. As adults, we can accept bad language on TV programs, as long as it relates to the program in
question (i.e. drama series or films). However, children should not have to hear that sort of
language. I’m not a prude by any means, but I find it really depressing when I hear children
from children to toddler age and up using foul language. Of course, they learn this from their
parents and other family members, but let’s minimize their exposure by keeping it out of
children’s programs. - Karen, UK (BBC Online)
 MY REACTION PAPER ON KAREN’S POINT OF VIEW

The documentary written by Karen in BBC online has something to explain in

terms of bad languages on television and how children should not hear it. To start
with, let us focus on what the writer want to express and if the argument generally
logically acceptable. On a first glance, the idea of surrounding sentence can discuss
a broad topic. In its simplest sense, televisions always have rated shows, it could be
for 18+ adult or for children and of course adult shows are not for children’s.
However, I could say that the argument is logically acceptable because edifies the
purpose of manifesto’s writer. The topic is the television and children have motives
and views on the issuer.

The evidence are really realistic because like the writer I also find depressing
when I hear children from children to toddler age and up using foul language. I
also know that most of children learn to speak bad words because of televisions.
The argument can lead to a more developing society because we all know that
“KABATAAN ANG PAG-ASA NG BAYAN” and the topic of the argument focus
on children and can teach parents or guardians to be more responsible specially in
watching movies with children’s. Generally, I agree with Karen’s conclusion that
children should not hear bad language in television. However, I’m not too
impressed with how she attempted to show this in this chapter. In addition, her
argument may have been more corroborated if she continued to on the discussion
of her topic.
