/^t/TV can also play an educational role. Some films allow us to acquiant ourselves with different historical periods, for instance with an ancient world or famous tragedies like an extremely popular film called "Titanic" talking about the greatest catastrophe from the beginning of our century. There are lots of educational programmes intended for young spectators to help them to learn reading or writing or many other skills. It must be said that religious programmes are also transmitted and many serious and instructive matters like places or treasures of the earth which could not be observed personally are presented on TV. On the other hand, we are unable to dispose of violence entirely. Even some realistic programmes, documentary films or topical events contain information about blood-shed and cruel fights. To abolish rough films and programmes seems to be impossible since it has been a part of our everyday life, but at least we should try to restrict the number of performances.
