  1. Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinions count.Unfortunately, television's influence might be harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world, and that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see on the screen is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations” are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures, to read a book that requires thinking, to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on TV programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in 10, 15, or 30 minutes. That’s the time it takes on the screen.

  3. Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are people willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, while there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. It is true that there are no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight against forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight against the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve his skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of 30, and most international tennis champions are in their early 20s. But it is not unusual for men of 50s or 60s to climb the highest mountains in Alps. It may take them more time, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
