<span><span>Television in our lives
</span><span>It is common knowledge that television has become the most popular entertainment in our home life. Now fewer and fewer people go out in the evening, preferring to stay at home and enjoy themselves sitting in comfortable armchairs in front of TV-screens and watching either “live” TV or films on video.
In Russia people can choose among lots of channels. Some of them are commercial: they are Discovery, Travel Channel or CNN in English. The others, such as Russia 1, belong to the federal government. A great number of central channels make their viewers watch advertisements, as the main part of the money they get, comes from advertising. So between and during programmes we have to watch advertisements for chewing-gum, soap, washing-machines, detergents and many other items we do not require at the moment.
There is a special channel broadcasting lots of sports events such as championships, competitions, races, games and interviews with sportsmen and sportswomen. There are also several channels transmitting regional programmes and news and a channel “Culture”, composed of cultural programmes.
As a rule, adults prefer to watch news. This is broadcast, shown at regular intervals at the main channels and both national and international current events are discussed at panel discussions. As for programmes for children, on Russian TV we have a special channel, called “Сarousel”, where educational programmes, animated cartoons and films are on all through the day. Needless to say, that a large part of TV time is occupied by serials which are shown by almost every channel and are often criticized for their poor quality.

Of course, we can call some TV programmes really informative and entertaining. Among them there are “KVN”, “What? Where? When”, “Romanticism of Romance” and others. But at the same time a large part of TV shows and films produces a negative effect on spectators, especially on teenagers, who like to spend a lot of time in front TV. Scenes of violence and crime presented in thrillers, horror and detective films mostly of foreign production can inflict damage on a child’s mind, and we should never forget about it.</span></span></span>

Archaeological finds in the Japanese archipelago confirms the thesis that the ancient Japanese wore a simple hemp clothes at the end of an era Jomon. In the beginning of the 1st Millennium N. X., under the influence of continental fashion in Japan and got cotton silk suits Korean-Manchurian type. 6-8 century the inhabitants of the Islands were under the influence of Chinese culture, which is reflected in the clothing, which was an exact copy of the outfit Chinese counterparts. In the Heian period (794-1185) the Japanese first moved away from the continental Canon, creating the prototype of today's kimono. From the 13th to the 15th century formed the principal types of unique Japanese outfits for different social groups. Evolution of the Japanese costume of the Edo period (1603-1867) was affected by simplification of the construction and enrichment of the decor, which led to the emergence of the modern kimono.
A revolution in Japanese clothing caused westernbased reform of the Meiji era in the second half of the 19th century. European fashion began to displace traditional Japanese costume. This process was gradual surface until 1945, touching only the guiding layers of the society. However, the democratization of the "Americanization" of the way of life of the ordinary Japanese has led to the fact that the Japanese kimono was pushed out of daily life.
Today, the Japanese traditional costume used basically only during the holidays and formal events.
