The organization of this article starts off informing you about how people use TV, and how its true that it does bring their self esteem. The main idea of this article is to inform people and describe how TV can help people and bring up their confidence, and how TV helps them feel as if they are having a conversation one on one with a person. It tells you how this makes people feel that they do have a social life. "People are more likely to watch favorite TV shows when they're lonely, and feel less lonely during the show." " A study found that people in need of social acceptance train themselves to read more queues from facial expressions."
