With the invention and development of television, entertainment has grown much
more visual in character and is demanding less and less use of the imagination, considered
by many to be men’s greatest faculty, but its greatest inadequacy lies in its inability to
exercise just those creative powers in men which are called upon and developed in the
pursuit of a worthwhile hobby. This lack is not serious while a man is still fully employed
in his day-to-day work which itself often gives him chances to create either with his hands
or with his mind. At this time he seeks only some form of relaxation in his leisure. There
comes a time, however, when he must retire from his occupation because of age, and it is
then that these shallower pastimes, useful enough as a form of relaxation, might cease to
satisfy the still active man. Today, many elderly people are finding this to be true, and seem
constantly to be suffering from a sense of frustration after retirement, which reveals itself in
short temper and slow degeneration of health, the two most common symptoms.
The writer criticizes visual entertainment because
it does not require men’s creative powers.
it can improve our intelligence and skills.
it demands too much of our imagination.
it will not lead men to slow degeneration in health.

Money destroys friendships, marriages, and family unity. Money, which in itself has
essentially no value, exerts more power over human lives than any other single commodity.
It brings out the best and the worst in people. An elderly woman is mugged and beaten by
two youths for less than a dollar, while ectoss town a couple on unemployment take in
runaway teenager and feed him because he has even less than they do.
The strange and illogical things that people do with and for money fill the newspapers
and bring a smile to the lips of millions of readers, whose own money behavior ia almost as
strange, In the United States, for example, it is estimated that there are approximately eight
million compulsive gamblers, men and women whose primary purpose in life is to bet
money. On the other side, there are the millions of compulsive savers, who are compelled to
save money with the same vengeance that compulsive gamblers are driven to bet it. In the
same class are the millions of compultive bargain hunters, who drive miles out of their way
to save two cents on a gallon of gasoline, or who buy potato peelers by the doxen because
they are on sale at half price, or who haunt swap meets and garage sales buying anything
that is cheap, even though they have no use for it.
To most people, perhaps, the lure of money seems to be a natural phenomenon. They
have become so indoctrinated with the idea that having money is important that they no
longer question why. They are unaware that perhaps what they are truly seeking is anincrease in self-respect, or security, or freedom. or love or power. While they may not be
aware of what it is they truly want from life, they feel sure that money will provide it for
them.
Why did the couple on unemployment feed a runaway teenager?
Because the couple were unemployed.
Because the teenager ran away from home.
Because an elderly woman was mugged and beaten by two youths.
Because the couple were relatively richer than he was.
