In today's modern society, it is posible to encounter a lot of TV Programs that have to do with human's health. Many programs don't waste the time to talk about health as they are constantly consuming non-healthy food and drinks. However, there are still some programs available that focus on helping the society by talking about diseases and problems.
I was able to find a national program thas as its main purpose is to talk about the diseases of this century and how to actually treat them. The name of the program is Dr. TV, which is program from channel 4 and since it is free, it is available to many around Peru.
The good thing about this is that, they just pay their TV channels and they get access to this wonderful program which is free of charge and they can get the same information when they go to a doctor. The bad thing that arises from this would be that not so many people actually watch the program, this would be the ones from a medium to high social class. TV programs are always sponsored by their sponsors and they get rewarded by the rating they get. If there is more rating, then more sponsor are going to sponsor the program so that their products can be seen by the audience. This kind of TV programs don't have good ratings as they constantly are changed because not so many people watch them. This then leads to the shutting down of the program because sponsors won't give more money if the program isn't seen by a great number of people.
Media can work really well when it comes to learning about one's health as it can be seen in this program. Health is something really important because now a days, people have started to not carte about their health. Health may not seem as important right now, but in a longer term, when they start to grow up, this will be significant as they can encounter diseaes that could have been avoidable when they were young.
