a nation’s cultural
structure. It also shows
the interactions among

because this is what we
need every day, because
here on television we
can gather information
around us if there are
disasters coming, here
we can also gather
information about our
country if there is a
problem which is
happening in our
country. televisions are

watch different movies
that we want to watch.
Jazz started in the US
as a blend of African
and European musical
traditions. Now, it's
enjoyed across the
globe, taking on many
different variations
within the genre.
