According to scientists television is a lonely person's best friend. Psychologists say that people who write negative reviews about shows are probably content with their life but the people who write positive reviews must be lonely and not have many friends. People who are more lonely study more facial expressions than most people would if they were not lonely.Lonely people would be able to make stronger connections to the characters in a T.V. show than people who already have a lot of people in their lives. But the downside of this is that focusing on T.V. shows decreases the time for people to make friends and have a social life.
1. Cause and effect
2. The author feels that the scientists are right about television making people less lonely.
3. This article is explaining that people who are "lonely" watch more television and that makes them less lonely. The scientists say that the T.V. becomes their friend instead of them having real friends.
4. "T.V. really helps lonely people" the article says. T.V. seems to create some type of comfort for people. "T.V. serves the same role as friends or family." T.V. could be a humans "best friend" according to phsychologist T.V. is a friend when you are lonely. "People who write negative reviews are probably well-satisfied with the rest of their lives." according to the article the negative reviews about a show, shows that their lives are really very positive.
5. This means for me that I am not very lonely because I don't watch a lot of T.V. and that I am ok with my life.
I don't think this could be classified as cause and effect because the point of the article is not so much "if this, then that" as general to specific, with the overall findings broken down further and further. The rest of the analysis is pretty sound, but I'd like to see you take the inferences further, to make it advice for others.
