Why do we need to know everything about a person? Too much information about people is being given on television. People are finding out information about others that they don’t need to know.

   One way television people could stop giving viewers too much information is to give us only the information we want and need to know. Do not tell us things that person would not want the whole world to know. Most people probably do not even want to know all the information given. It leads to gossip, too. If it was your own life, would you want everybody knowing everything about you?

   We do not need to know everything. People also stop caring when they know too much about a person. It is also rude to say everything about somebody. If a person makes a little mistake, it turns into a huge deal.

   Television anchors and reporters should give out only the information that is proven to be true, and that people would care about. If you know the information is false, don’t state it to the whole world!

   Kids are getting information that their parents might not want them to know. If TV executives would stop giving us too much information, kids would not learn information that they shouldn’t. Viewers eventually get tired of hearing about a person. Then they stop watching. TV shows then not only lose viewers, but also, the TV personalities may lose their jobs. And it would all be because they gave out too much information and stayed on that topic too long.

   This is definitely a problem. It could cost somebody their business. And out of all of the problems in the world, of which there are many, I chose this one because I am tired if hearing about people.

   Sincerely,
