TV Shows & Reality

Picture
Dr Brendan Gomez, developmental and counselling psychologist, says that though TV programmes mirror themes that exist in society, they tend to be exaggerated. “More often than not, these themes are over-dramatised and blown up because this is what sells. TV programmes, especially soap operas, tend to play up negative feelings and emotions and do not add any value to our lives apart from being pure entertainment,” he adds.

International Student with a Mission

Picture
When Penn State graduate student Brendan Gomez spoke at the Tsunami Vigil Service in early January, his passionate and eloquent words about the devastation wrought by the tsunami brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience. He held up photos of children from the affected areas, saying, “The reality is that the sea may never bring back the parents of many of these orphaned children.”
