POLITICS AND TELEVISION - A NEW DIMENSION IN THE BRAZILIAN SOCIETY

in politics •  6 years ago 

The range of varieties of forms of entertainment in Brazil are numerous, including: movies, documentaries, theater, dance, shows, soap operas, television materials, among others. At this point, you have nothing to disagree with, it is a great way to treat the affairs of Brazilian society (with emphasis on politics) in a more natural way and it is to be said with a bit of irony, vexation and a somber tone about certain subjects.
When discussing two distinct segments, you have to think collectively, since politics and television are vehicles that have emerged at different moments in the evolution of society. The first came to unite society, devised by the earliest philosophers of humanity in ancient Greece, designed to manage society, and to transform its longings into reality. The second arose from the need of entertainment of the population increasingly occupied with the work situations, becoming a valve of escape for the situations that afflicted the society at the time. With this union, one of the main arms of each one of this segment was born, one can not speak of one without mentioning the other.

In this step, Brazilian television has been evolving in stride, as society walks, perhaps moments ahead of its days, as in others far behind, remembering the times of the "Dark Ages." With all this question, in discussing the (positive-negative) consequences of television in Brazil, we have to take into account that for each level and social group television adapted, with content focused on each segment, as well as a large overwhelming majority vibrates with each pass narrated to the goal by the Brazilian team, another part fervently follows the discussions involving national politics.
Bate-boca, controversy, contradictions, disagreements, became synonyms of politics in a country with more than 200 (two hundred) million inhabitants. Politics has become one of the forms of Brazilian entertainment. Several content was created for this segment that grows bigger every day. With each new day, this type of entertainment, provided by the big television channels, gains more fans / viewers, since it is becoming more and more interested in what is happening within the scope of the Brazilian powers: National Congress (Chamber of Deputies and Senate) Alvorada Palace and now a new member of this triad, which before did not appear so prominently on television, which is the Judiciary, in this regard, represented by its Ministers. Themes that were previously overlooked by society, won television time, attracting more and more large audiences. In many media, politics has been transformed into a great "novel", because every day a new chapter, with new events, because there are always: intrigues, debates, fights, villains, corruption, twists and turns. Politics has been transformed into a product of television channels, undergoing changes in its structure which is the organization and structuring of peoples, to turn into a reality show, where viewers eagerly await their events.
And the channels have identified this change in society, and have begun producing content aimed at this audience, with an emphasis on talk shows, documentaries, interviews, discussion boards, among others. Television channels have used this new phase of Brazilian society to begin discussing everyday situations that interfere with life in common, influencing thoughts and discussions in the five regions of the country. With this, a new form of presentation of politicians or of those who have some political and social relevance in society was imposed, a new image was imposed aesthetically for them, regardless of whether their proposals are good or not, all must follow a new pattern, which is the thought directed towards society, going against the yearnings of the same, ceasing to think only of their desires, and acting in an equational and social way for their voters and viewers.

One of the issues that politics uses on television is its power of manipulation, since any news that comes with the treatment proposed by the channels and their coordinators becomes a way of maneuvering a society that feels hurt / benefitted by determined. There is no differentiation between good and evil, but rather the way in which such information is passed on.
It was in this way that political influencers, people with knowledge debated in the federal capital, who in some way reached society as a whole. Several were the journalists who gained notoriety with this new phase of Brazilian television. There have been issues transformed by these news bulletins that have been transformed into chapters, citing as an example, the "jet launder", which at every moment appears a new delation, which picks up a new politician, who depending on the subject, entails the lives of millions of Brazilians .

One of the last events that television was about to transform was the truckers' strike, not because it was something of a category, but a form of politics they used to wage discussions with the three levels of Brazilian power. With this, the television took use of external actors to dramatize the pains and desires of the Brazilian society. Every day, a new segment was affected by the paralysis of this category, something that was only of few, became something of all, influencing in the life of millions of Brazilians. And in this matter, television has used every possible means to transform into a unique, unprecedented, sensationalist event.
Television is increasingly influenced by politics, and vice versa, because it has become a single "being." When discussing such subjects, the three subjects, namely: politics, television and viewer; has to be attuned to the changes that take place in the daily life of society, being able to transform that content / debate debated into a product satisfactory for the good of society, and not just serving as a maneuver.
